HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Benjamin Chau introduced the fair, which features eight themed zones: Glamour & Style, Tasting Journey, Healthy Living, Home Inspiration, Play & Learn, Digital Life, Baby Essentials and Pet Care. "With COVID-19 having brought significant changes to people's daily lives, local companies have the opportunity to adapt to changing market trends by introducing new and innovative products at the fair. The event will help companies tap into the local retail market and win new business opportunities, while the public is provided with an enjoyable shopping experience."

Mother's Day sales opportunities, spotlight on innovative health products
Mother's Day is just around the corner and there are a number of suitable gift choices on sale at the fair, including luxurious jade jewellery from "Jade Street", South Sea pearl jewellery and a range of diamond and gems. Korea's Haenam organic GABA rice, Japan TAMBA Black Soybean Tea, coconut, fish maw and chicken soup, Xen Xen durian juice from Thailand, and spring water sourced from Mt Fuji, to name just a few. The Hong Kong Children, Babies, Maternity Industries Association gathers several children and baby products exhibitors at the Baby Essentials zone, offering a wide range of products including a baby playmat, folded storage box set, parent-kid backpacks and baby skincare products.
The pandemic has resulted in various lifestyle changes for people in Hong Kong. Wearing masks, increased household hygiene and hiking have all become part of the "new normal", creating a demand for related products. The fair features innovative items such as a portable oxygen generator from Japan, an ultra-small window-cleaning robot, a portable ionic air disinfector and the World Vision Window Mask. A wide range of household products will also be on sale at the fair, including the soil-free growing material Pafcal, the UpRight Seat, a USB rechargeable mini blender and much more.
The Hong Kong People and Brands Pavilion brings together 26 quality local brands, including Dynasty Food, specialising in "Made in Hong Kong" sauces, Wing Sang Tong herbal tea, BDH Rice Merchant and Abalone King. Nearly 20 Hong Kong fashion brands are participating in the fair including winning designers from various editions of the Hong Kong Young Fashion Designers' Contest (YDC), such as Arto Wong, Charlotte Ng, Jason Lee and Wilson Choi. Selected brands are presenting their newly launched 2021 fall/winter collections for pre-order.
To help SMEs grasp new business opportunities, the fair has strengthened its online-to-offline promotions. The HKTDC is partnering with Bonjour Hong Kong to introduce a range of products. All the livestreaming shows will be broadcast on the Bonjour page and the HKTDC Exhibition Channel on Facebook. In addition, the HKTDC is collaborating with e-commerce platform Boutir to offer exhibitors the chance to open an online shop with a three-month free service to help them get established as an online retailer.
