Hong Kong, Sept. 1 -- A pair of major components shows are set for later this fall in opposing corners of the globe.

Next month in Hong Kong is electronicaAsia, an exhibition for components, assemblies, production and display technology. The Oct. 13-16 show will be held concurrently with the Hong Kong Electronics Fair.

electronicaAsia is the largest electronics manufacturing show is Asia. According to show producers Messe Munchen, last year's electronicaAsia had more than 28,000 trade visitors, up 75% from 2002, and 552 exhibitors.

Automotive electronics will take top billing at electronica 2004 in November in Munich. Automotive accounts for 17% of the overall semiconductor market in Europe, 30% in Germany, thanks to demand for engine-control units, electronic-dashboard instrument clusters, remote keyless-entry systems and airbags.

electronica 2004 will be held Nov. 9-12.
