News this week: Last week, UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition
Industry, announced the results of its 14th edition of Global
Exhibition Barometer Survey, with a majority of surveyed companies in all
regions declaring an increase in revenues since 2011. The survey was conducted
in December 2014 and answered by 203 companies from 55 countries.
In terms of
profits, majority of the surveyed companies reported stable or increasing
annual profits, but less than half of them declared an increase of more than
10% in 2014. New business developments are planned for many companies where 76%
are planning new activities and 51% are planning to expand exhibition
operations to new regions.
Paul Woodward, UFI
Managing Director, concluded, “In a globally fragile economic environment, the
exhibition industry continues to demonstrate a fairly good performance, except
in some countries with specific current issues. UFI encourages all surveyed
companies to keep providing their input in order to maintain this important
tool for the industry and its stakeholders.”
