fter a two-year pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the most comprehensive international exhibition of toys, baby and maternity products, electronics, smart appliances and household supplies will again be held offline at the Jakarta International Expo (JIEXPO) from Nov. 23-25, 2022.
The three B2B exhibitions, International Baby Products and Toys Exhibition (IBTE), Indonesia International Electronics & Smart Appliances (IEAE) and the Indonesia International Gift & Houseware Expo (IGHE) are the best place for businesses in the industries to gather and reach more markets.
Some 150 companies from three Asian countries will participate at JIEXPO this year. Each booth will showcase various products and innovations that reflect their advanced production technology.
“The Indonesian government’s participation in this digital transformation provides an indirect contribution to [the toys, electronics and household products industry]. The first quarter of 2022 saw growth of 6.8 percent,” said the Information and Communication Technology Business (APTIKNAS) chairman, Soegiharto Santoso.
Specifically, the baby products and toy industry is slowly finding renewed vigor following the slowdown of the pandemic. Today, the Indonesian baby products and toymaker scene is ready to compete in the global market by keeping up with existing trends and the latest technologies.
But the pandemic also taught the toy industry a lesson, according to Indonesian Toy Association chairman Sutjiadi Lukas.
“The online school policy is also a supporting factor in the recovery of the toy industry. More children have been spending time at home, so they need more toys to help them pass the time. We start from traditional toys to educational sets and finally digital ones,” added Sutjiadi.
“With the IBTE, IEAE and IGHE 2022 held in one venue, we are optimistic that this demonstrative expo will bring about positive change in the industries involved —and will hopefully take part in the national economic recovery,” said project director, Paul Kingsen.
The IBTE, IEAE and IGHE 2022 are open free of charge from 10 a.m – 6 p.m. Visitors can pre-register by signing up at ibte.co.id or ieae.co.id.
