Visitors and exhibitors were in a good mood: For example, German manufacturers of electronic production equipment alone expect a two-digit sales growth for the coming year according to the Productronic Association in VDMA. According to estimates of the ZVEI Association Electronic Components and Systems, the global market for electronic components will grow by 6 % to more than 410 billion US dollars in 2008, of course with positive effects on the manufactures of facilities and systems for electronics production.
The international trade public gave the trade show top grades. A total of 95 % of the visitors judged the completeness of the range of offers as excellent to good, 93 % gave this assessment for the presence of market leaders, 90 % for the internationalism of exhibitors. Accordingly, 90 % assessed the leading trade fair character and leadership role of Productronica as excellent to good. Exhibitors again assessed the quality of visitors very positively. 86 % (2005: 87 %) of them evaluated them with excellent to good. The impressive number of business transactions, which were concluded at the trade fair, is also proof of this.
The next Productronica takes place on the grounds of the New Munich Trade Fair Centre from 10 to 13 November 2009.
