Thailand's No. 1 medical and health care exhibition: MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND 2011 a resounding success

MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND 2011 closed amidst an exceptional atmosphere in the sold-out halls at QSNCC (Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre), Bangkok, from both exhibitors and visitors who were extremely satisfied with the exhibition's turn out. MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND 2011 was a source of strong business opportunities for the 328 exhibiting companies, an increase of more than 30% from 2009. A total of about 5,500 visitors, up by an impressive 50%, received the latest innovations and technologies from the medical and health care sectors between 14 to 16 September.

The exhibitors at the largest edition of MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND to date were in a very positive mood and the underlying sentiment unanimous throughout the exhibition was the internationality of visitors and busy show floor. With 30% of visitors attending from outside Thailand from over 50 countries, foreign visitorship represented an increase of some 75% in comparison to 2009. Visitors from Australia and the Middle East, for example, similarly made their presence strongly felt at the exhibition.

Gernot Ringling, Managing Director, Messe Duesseldorf Asia, pointed out the significant growth in interest in medical and health care technology in the region and the first time inclusion of a Japan pavilion that was well received by trade visitors. "With its strategic location, appealing tourist attractions and excellent exhibition facilities, Thailand is a destination of choice for MICE (Meeting, Incentive, Convention and Exhibition) events in Southeast Asia," said Ringling.

The fifth edition of MEDICAL FAIR THAILAND is well underway with strong showing from exhibitors as most booths have been snapped up four months ahead of the exhibition.

With Asia's healthcare budgets projected to grow to more than US$300 billion in 2012, and the rising need for healthcare due to urbanisation, aging populations and greater access to new medical technologies, an increasing number of country pavilions are participating at this year's exhibition.
