Global Exhibition Industry Statistics Global estimates March 2014. on exhibitions Initial remarks As shown if further sections of this report, there are few local sources for the estimation of the full market sizes (including all type of exhibitions). UFI uses several sources, including the data gathered from its Members, to estimate the results shown in the following pages. It is believed that the estimations are fairly accurate for Europe & Asia whereas the lack of information in terms of net space rented for most events in Middle East and Africa or Central & South America make the estimations in these regions more uncertain.
