The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has announced the upcoming 7 LifeStyle Trade Events, scheduled to take place from April 27 to 30, 2025. These events will collectively feature a broad spectrum of lifestyle products and services, including gifts, houseware, fashion, printing, packaging, and licensing.

The events will be held at two prominent venues: the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre will host the gifts, houseware, fashion, and licensing events, while the printing and packaging fairs will be located at AsiaWorld-Expo.

HKTDC anticipates the participation of over 6,500 exhibitors from around the globe, presenting the latest trends and innovations in lifestyle products.

Among the highlights is the Hong Kong Gifts & Premium Fair, the longest-running of the events, which will commemorate its 40th anniversary in 2025. This fair will include the Hall of Fine Designs, showcasing notable brands such as Monnaie de Paris from France and Camel from Hong Kong.

Additionally, a pavilion will be curated by the Hong Kong Exporters' Association, featuring local companies and award-winning designs from the Hong Kong Smart Design Awards.

Another key aspect of the event is Home InStyle, which aims to facilitate connections within the design and lifestyle community.

A significant upgrade to the Cultural and Creative Corner is planned, transforming it into a Cultural and Creative Avenue, targeting international design influencers.

Pantone will participate as the colour partner, unveiling colour trends for Fall/Winter 2025 and Spring/Summer 2026. Home InStyle will also feature the Gerontech Living Pavilion, addressing the needs of the senior population with innovative products and designs.

Fashion InStyle will serve as a comprehensive platform for sourcing various fashion-related products, proposing a new initiative called NEXT@Fashion InStyle.

This initiative will emphasize sustainability and showcase collaborations among emerging designers and established brands.

It aims to highlight materials such as Gambier Canton Silk and AlgaFila, along with hosting fashion parades and seminars to demonstrate technological and sustainable advances in the fashion sector.

The Hong Kong International Printing & Packaging Fair will celebrate its 20th edition, showcasing advancements in sustainable packaging solutions.

Innovative products, including biodegradable options and high-end packaging for premium items, will be on display at the concurrent DeLuxe PrintPack Hong Kong.

To enhance the educational aspect of the events, a series of seminars will be held addressing emerging trends within the industry, including sustainability, innovations in health and wellness, and advancements in printing and smart packaging.

These seminars will be led by industry experts, aiming to provide essential insights for attendees.

Running alongside these trade events is the HKTDC Hong Kong International Licensing Show, characterized as a platform for international licensors and licensees to explore business opportunities in various sectors.

The Asian Licensing Conference will also occur concurrently, bringing together licensing professionals to discuss trends and opportunities within the industry.

The events will incorporate digital components via the EXHIBITION+ model, enabling buyers to engage with exhibitors both offline and online through the HKTDC’s various digital platforms.

This initiative aims to enhance the overall exhibition experience by allowing continuous product exploration and efficient networking opportunities.
