Dick Mou, head of the Market Development Department at CETRA, points out that Taiwan is the world's seventeenth largest importer. And since products not only can be sold in Taiwan but also can be transshipped to third countries, those coming to the exhibition were looking at a potential US $ 200 billion market, of which Taiwan alone constitutes 20 to 25 percent.
外貿協會市場開發處處長牟盾表示，中華民國是全球第十七大進口國，各國產品不但可以賣給台灣，同時還可以轉銷到鄰近地區，所以參展的國家面對的是一個二千億美元的進口市場，而台灣本身就佔了四、五百億美金。
