THIS LAST EDITION :

Visitor numbers remained stable, despite the difficult economic climate, with virtually the same number of buyers attending the September edition as the January edition earlier in the year. There was a not-unexpected dip in international visitors who are still avoiding France as a result of the current situation. The most significant drop came from the United States and Asian countries such as China, while visitors from the Middle East and some European countries, the Netherlands for instance, were well-represented.
The market is changing and now attracts a new, more specialist type of retailer looking to expand their range to better anticipate customers' needs. BIJORHCA PARIS brought together 475 exhibitors and brands, 53% from outside France. Precious jewellery (gold, fine jewellery, silver, vermeil, steel and watches) was represented by 150 exhibitors and 250 fashion jewellery brands also attended this edition. The Elements area, given over to Professional Supplies, Security & Manufacturing Technology and insurance, attracted 75 exhibitors.
