The Top 10 sources of visitors outside the Hong Kong region and mainland China were from the United States, India, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Italy, Germany, the Russian Federation and Spain.

“9FJ remains a key platform where industry professionals source products, collect market information and expand business network. The support of buyers and supplier is essential in propelling the growth not only of this fair but also the fashion jewelry and accessories industry,” said Celine Lau, director of Jewellery Fairs at UBM Asia Ltd.

Lau added that the Stainless Steel Jewellery Pavilion remains "a very popular destination for visitors because of the range of silver jewelry and accessories offered by the more than 40 suppliers."
