Exhibition Core Introduction

Why Uzbekistan?

Uzbekistan is the golden battlefield for Chinese enterprises to go global to Central Asia, with core advantages concentrated in four dimensions, suitable for the layout of audiovisual equipment enterprises:

High economic growth+infrastructure explosion: Central Asia's economic growth rate leads Eurasia (with a growth rate of about 6% from 2025 to 2026), and the capital Tashkent has launched a $25 billion urban renewal project. Coupled with the drive of the 2027 U-20 World Cup, the demand for infrastructure is concentrated, and there is a huge gap in the procurement of audio-visual equipment.

Blank industrial chain+strong import demand: Uzbekistan's audio-visual industry is weak, with few audio production enterprises and a high dependence on imported core components, providing a broad market space and first mover advantage for global equipment companies.

Policy driven rigid demand: The government stipulates that new public buildings must reserve intelligent audio and video interfaces, which generates approximately $3 billion in rigid procurement demand annually, directly driving demand for professional audio, intelligent lighting and other products.

Market feasibility has been verified: Top international audio-visual brands have landed in the first immersive demonstration laboratory in Central Asia, proving the local acceptance of high-end audio-visual products and providing market endorsement for cost-effective solutions for Chinese enterprises. In addition, the import demand in Central Asia is increasing by more than 12% annually, with huge potential.

Market background

Why is it being held now? ——Major historical opportunities overlap

Mandatory standard implementation: The policy of reserving audio and video interfaces for new public buildings has been fully implemented, leading to a surge in the procurement of audio-visual equipment.

Intensive international events: Multiple events such as the FINA World Cup and Chess Olympiad have formed rigid demands for venue audiovisual systems.

The eve of major venue delivery: The construction of U-20 World Cup venues will accelerate in 2027, and 2026 will be a key node for centralized procurement and installation of audio-visual equipment.

Peak of cultural and tourism investment: Over 2 billion US dollars of foreign investment will be invested in cultural and tourism infrastructure in the next five years, and a large number of venues will enter the equipment procurement stage by 2026.

Accurate exhibition schedule: held from October 26-28, immediately following the Swimming World Cup (October 8-10), effectively catering to the upgrading needs of event equipment and providing a display and docking platform for events such as the U-20 World Cup.
