Most purchases were made by the USA, Europe and Japan. 350 journalists from 120 world-famous media visited the exhibition in 2008.
The role of Ningbo in the commercial life of China has also contributed to the exhibition's success. With 5 million people the Ningbo metropolis near Shanghai is an important hub for Chinese imports and exports. Nearly 20% of Chinese consumer goods are currently manufactured in Ningbo and the surrounding area.
Steady economic growth in China and the formation of a large and still-increasing prosperous social class, which places value on buying branded products of recognised quality, is leading China to become an attractive fast developing market for premium products.
