UFI survey: exhibition business reports growth in 2013

News this week: Earlier this week, UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, reported its biannual survey of the 12th Global Barometer of the Exhibition Industry.

According to the survey, the majority of companies interviewed declared an increase of their turnover since at least 2011. Moreover, over half of the companies declared an increase of more than 10% for 2013 – led by 80% of interviewed companies in the Asia/Pacific region reporting the increase.

Paul Woodward, UFI Managing Director, concluded, “While we shall remain cautious about the development of the global economic situation, the exhibition media continues to demonstrate its strength with growth over the last 4 years. The industry remains remarkably dynamic with a majority of companies positively embracing the challenges of new ranges of activity or geographical development.”
