Messe Frankfurt New Era Business Media Ltd acquired Thailand Lighting Fair and Thailand Building Fair at the beginning of this year to expand the worldwide portfolio of its Light + Building brand of trade fairs. Powered by Messe Frankfurt since their inception in 2015, the two fairs now officially form part of the Light + Building family that totals 15 fairs around the globe.
Mr Hubert Duh, Chairman and Managing Director, Messe Frankfurt New Era Business Media Ltd, revealed more about what to expect at this year’s show: “Thailand Lighting Fair 2018 is a comprehensive platform that encompasses lighting accessories and electronic components, commercial, city and architectural lighting as well as design lighting fixtures. All these sectors of the industry are showcased in tandem with the rising needs and challenges of the ASEAN market. We aim to make Thailand Lighting Fair an exciting destination for exploring diverse and new business opportunities in the region“.
Smart, sustainable and human-centric are key focuses of the 2018 show
Smart
The smart concept is a hot topic that the lighting industry has embraced. Smart lighting has emerged as a crucial component for smart homes, buildings and cities alike. By integrating network connectivity and intelligence into LED-based luminaries, it has helped to form the backbone of smart building and cities and has made the vision of IoT feasible. To highlight the smart concept, Thailand Lighting Fair is held concurrently with Thailand Building Fair, offering a combined focus on smart home and building technologies. The two fairs benefit from a synergistic effect by providing an ideal platform for networking and cooperation possibilities between the lighting and IoT communities. Such collaboration opportunities may inspire industry peers to strategically plan and upgrade existing product lines to grasp new business opportunities focusing on smart trends. Highlighted exhibitors from the smart sector include the KNX Association from Belgium together with their members including ABB, Somfy, Domotica, Phuket Technology, Jung and Green Controls as well as HDL Automation and Graesslin.
Sustainable
Lighting can improve lives and create value beyond illumination. Besides featuring diverse lighting applications that champion energy efficiency and luminance, the 2018 show will also feature a solar zone to highlight LED compatibility with solar technology, promoting business opportunities between lighting technology and the integration of solar devices in building projects. Highlighted exhibitors in the solar zone include Seraphim Solar System (Thailand), Ciwolf, Cleanmax IHQ (Thailand) and Solar Express.
Human centric
Human-centric lighting is the latest trending term in the professional lighting industry, meaning lighting that is devoted to enhancing vision, wellbeing and performance. The commercial lighting section at this year’s fair will feature diverse lighting applications with key user comfort solutions on full display. Highlighted exhibitors include Shanghai Wellmax Lighting, Dongguan Shenshar LED lighting, YuYao Ostron Lighting Tech and LED on Home.
Broad event programme provides insight and market intelligence
A series of thought-provoking events and seminars will take place across the three-day shows, covering different hot button topics in the lighting and building sectors. The Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand will be present to explain more about opportunities available for lighting businesses in the industrial estate development in the country, while a host of architectural and interior designers will discuss the future direction of the industry. Meanwhile, smart home, building and parking solutions highlight the building sector’s event programme. For full details of the event programme, please click here.
