Held every three years during eight days in October, this year’s event attracted some 230,000 visitors, including almost 30,000 from Asia. While the total number of visitors was up from around 220,000 at previous shows, the Asian numbers were slightly down, mainly due to a steady decrease in visitors from India as reported by the organizers (9,000 as compared to 10,000 at K2013 and 11,000 at K2010). The number of exhibitors from India also was down to 104, from 145 at K2013. Out of the total of 3,285 exhibition stands (a number growing by a few dozens from show to show), 752 were taken by Asian companies, of whom 400 from China and Hong Kong, 127 from Taiwan, 46 from Korea, 30 from Japan, 17 from Malaysia and 28 from Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand.
