Hong Kong Conventional & Exhibition Centre

Electronics products have undergone much significant advancement in recent years. Although the development trends have primarily been determined by the developed nations such as United States, Japan and the European countries, these trends have been largely driven by many principal drivers. These principal drivers can broadly be classified in terms of users, technologies and regulatory changes. This paper briefly examines these drivers as well as the technology and product trends in the sectors of telecommunications, consumer electronics and information technology products. Its implication to the training and skill development requirements for Hong Kong will also be examined.
