Before the Taiwan Industry Week trade show

Indeed, this event will take place in one of the country's key manufacturing hubs. Taiwan Industry Week, This event will host no fewer than four trade shows targeting four different sectors, yet sharing commonalities and synergies. Many visitors are already familiar with this event, as it is none other than the THS trade show, which has evolved significantly under the management of Kaigo, who has been in charge of the event since its inception. Given its rapid growth, the organizers found it necessary to adapt, particularly in terms of exhibition space. Consequently, after taking place in Taipei until 2024, the event has decided to relocate to Taichung. However, this move is not solely due to a lack of space. It also reflects the growing and diversifying nature of the event, which has progressively expanded to include four complementary sectors over the years. These four sectors will be featured in the 2025 edition, which will be known under the overarching name of... Taiwan Industry Week, and will therefore include offerings from the following sectors:

• le Taiwan Hardware Show (THS), hardware tools and equipment trade show,
• the International Metal Technology Taiwan (IMT Taiwan),
• T-SAFE, dedicated to workplace safety,
• and the RHVAC Taiwan, The event focuses on refrigeration and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. More than 350 exhibitors will be present, showcasing 5,000 products, and 28,000 visitors from 80 countries are expected, making this trade show a truly global hub. 

This issue is indeed crucial for the management teams of these organizations, given its sensitivity in open markets and a highly competitive environment. More than ever, it is essential to position oneself as a competitive player in exports, on which Taiwan heavily relies. Given the country's size and facing international competition, it is now imperative to offer products adapted to all global markets. The government authorities have been working on this for years, in cooperation with manufacturers and industry associations, and this approach seems to be working quite well. The renowned "Made in Taiwan" label has established itself as a benchmark for manufacturing quality, while remaining price-competitive in a highly competitive environment, particularly against the aggressive pricing strategies of its neighboring country, which no one can match. Therefore, the manufacturers in these sectors, whom we will meet in Taichung, have focused on quality as their main competitive advantage. To further strengthen their position, they have quickly invested in sustainability and environmental responsibility, through significant investments in research and development. These efforts have not been in vain, as the products from the four sectors represented in Taichung can claim high quality standards. In any case, these markets are significant, as evidenced by the figures for these various sectors: for example, the Taiwanese DIY and hardware market is expected to reach USD 15.62 billion by 2025.

• The personal protective equipment (PPE) sector It is currently valued at USD 269 million and is expected to grow at an annual rate of 5.7% until 2032.
• Regarding HVAC, The market value is expected to grow from USD 760 million in 2025 to USD 1.17 billion by 2030, driven by energy efficiency standards. It goes without saying that all these sectors want to continue moving forward, particularly in markets such as Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. These are the very international goals and ambitions that Kaigo is eager to support. In addition to the expected visitors from around the world, international pavilions will also be present, showcasing their latest products and innovations. These will include pavilions from Japan, South Korea, China, and Indonesia, while exhibitors from Canada, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Vietnam, and the United States will also participate in the 2025 event.
