VMSD - February 2015 - (Page 4)
FROM THE EDITOR
On the Road to Asia
Follow VMSD as we travel from Shanghai to Seoul.
While headlines toll the death knell for indoor shopping malls, and social media sites revel in
sharing post-apocalyptic images of abandoned monoliths, I find it a bit premature to bury the
stake. At least, not in China. There, malls sprout like beards on Brooklyn hipsters.
Chinese cities account for more than half of mall space now under construction worldwide, according to CBRE (Los Angeles), a commercial real estate services firm. In 2015, China
will be home to an estimated 4000 shopping malls. Overall retail sales grew by 12 percent in
2014, according to the China National Bureau of Statistics.
Online sales grew by 49.7 percent.
And, while prognosticators warn of a China real estate
bubble poised to burst - due to overexpansion, among
other factors - demographic and economic forces, including rising household and disposable income, support brick-and-mortar development.
With retailers and suppliers beating a path to exploit opportunities in China, it's no surprise
that a new tradeshow has been created to serve this market. Messe Düsseldorf,
organizer of EuroShop - the triennial international event for the retail design
industry - will soon debut C-star (May 13-15), Shanghai's international
trade fair "for solutions and trends all about retail." Supported by the
China National Commercial Information Center, the Retail Conference
portion of the event will feature renowned ceos and professionals from
the retail sector, in educational sessions and an on-site discussion forum.
VMSD will travel to the show as the exclusive media partner of asia
a go go, an outgrowth of the euro a go go group of North American
retailers and designers who've shared past EuroShop experiences.
This will be a select event for top executives from key retailers, as
well as architectural and design firms. Participants in this inaugural Asian installment will tour Shanghai, a booming retail megalopolis, before traveling on to Seoul, home to global companies
and a thriving luxury market.
For more information on C-star, including online registration, visit c-star-expo.com. For more information on asia a go
go, visit euro-a-gogo.com/asiaagogo.html.
I'm excited to share these events with you, both in print and
online, and to connect you with the key players in our industry, at the
forefront of this great international expansion.
