JEGI’s Update on the US B2B Exhibition Industry
Future business leaders will no doubt be more Internet-focused than today’s generation; however, they will still value face-to-face events for the way they enable buyers and sellers to discuss new products first hand, transact business and build a face-to-face network of industry contacts. Event companies that can leverage their in-person businesses with creative strategies for combining in-person and online marketing products that serve their communities 24/7 will be the industry leaders of the future B2B marketing scene.
Bringing buyers and sellers together through face-to-face events is the core element of today’s suite of marketing tools provided by B2B media companies in the US. Despite the rapid growth of marketing spending in B2B online (from 5% of a $21.5 billion market in 2003 to a projected 23% of a $26.0 billion market in 2013), the exhibition (or trade show) industry, which accounts for the largest share of the overall US B2B event industry, has grown at the expense of other traditional marketing media.
The latest VSS Communications Industry Forecast report, published during the dark days of August 2009, projected B2B media revenue growth from $24.2 billion in 2009 to $26.0 billion in 2013. Recent attendance increases at trade shows and stronger exhibit space bookings for future trade shows suggest that revenue for the B2B exhibition industry will grow through 2013, reaching 2007/2008 levels.
