The first edition of C-star came to an successful end and featured an exceptionally high degree of professionalism - both exhibitor- and visitor-wise. On a net exhibition space of 5000 square meters, C-star featured 162 exhibitors from 23 countries.
C-star also saw an exceptionally high degree of internationalism, with nearly 50% of its exhibitors having their headquarters overseas. This makes C-star the most international retail trade fair in China and emphasizes the show's significance to leading retailers from abroad. Visitor-wise C-star also surpassed everyone's general expectations. Despite being held for the first time, an astonishing number of 5721 visitors from 59 countries and regions came to visit the show, with 18% coming from overseas. Most international trade visitors came from the USA, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, India, Russia and Canada. This further fosters C-star's status of being China's most international retail show.
