Columbia Industrial Exhibition-Exhibition Introduction
The Colombia Bogota International Industrial Fair, referred to as the Colombia Industrial Fair, is held every two years. It is a professional industrial equipment and machinery exhibition in South America. The last exhibition was held at the Bogota International Commercial Exhibition Center, with an exhibition area of 28,376 square meters, 1,062 exhibitors and 73,442 professional visitors.
The Bogota Industrial Fair in Colombia was founded in 1954 and is hosted by CORFERIAS International Exhibition Company, the largest exhibition company in Colombia. It is the largest and oldest industrial exhibition in Colombia, and its influence has long surpassed the entire South American continent.
The professional theme exhibitions held in the same venue as the Colombia Bogota Industrial Fair include the Colombia Metal Processing Exhibition, the Colombia Plastics and Rubber Exhibition, the Packaging Exhibition, the Colombia Refrigeration Exhibition, the Colombia Pipeline Exhibition, etc., which complement each other and provide exhibitors with a broader and higher-quality platform.
At the 2022 exhibition, a total of 1,062 companies showcased their talents, with an exhibition area of 28,376 square meters. Among them, visitors witnessed the gathering of professionals from nearly 20 countries including Germany, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Spain, Denmark, the United States, Bolivia, France, Italy, the Netherlands, China, Switzerland, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, etc., with a total number of 73,442 people.
In 2018, 862 companies participated in the Bogota Industrial Exhibition, with a net exhibition area of 25,376 square meters. 55,825 professional visitors from nearly 37 countries visited the exhibition. According to official statistics, 87% of exhibitors and 90% of visitors gave positive comments on the exhibition results, and exhibitors were particularly satisfied with the high-quality professional visitors.
In recent years, the South American market has continued to heat up. With the development of the economy, Colombia’s economic structure has also undergone tremendous changes. Agriculture and animal husbandry, including forestry, fishing, and hunting, has dropped from 39.6% of GDP to 17.4%, while the proportion of industry (including mining, construction, gas, water, electricity, and manufacturing) has risen from 16.8% to 34.8%. The main imports are machinery and equipment, chemical products, textiles, and metal materials. Data show that from January to November 2023, the total value of China’s exports to Colombia was US$1,139,546,360. China mainly exported telephones, computers, steel, organic chemicals, vehicles and their spare parts, and imported crude oil, nickel iron, scrap copper, raw hides and leather from Colombia. China is Colombia’s second largest source of imports and second largest export market.
The above data all show that Colombia’s industrial market has great development prospects, and the Bogota Industrial Fair is undoubtedly an excellent platform for domestic companies to explore and expand the Colombian and South American markets.
