Hong Kong Licensing Show books Ocean Park Corporation for 2026

Ocean Park Corporation has been confirmed as an exhibitor at the Hong Kong International Licensing Show and Asian Licensing Conference 2026, reinforcing the territory’s position as Asia’s leading marketplace for intellectual property deals. The Hong Kong Trade Development Council listing places the homegrown theme park operator alongside a roster of international brand owners preparing to court licensees across the region.

For global buyers scouting new partnerships, the licensing show has become an essential early-year stop on the trade calendar, sitting alongside HKTDC’s lifestyle and home product fairs. Ocean Park’s continued presence points to a deliberate push by the operator to monetize its portfolio of animal-themed characters and marine imagery, assets that have already attracted attention from consumer goods manufacturers looking for differentiated IP.

The licensing sector has emerged as one of the more resilient corners of Hong Kong’s exhibition economy, drawing both brand owners and contract manufacturers seeking to add value to export products. With Chinese fishing tackle suppliers increasingly exploring character licensing to lift average selling prices on lures, apparel and youth-oriented accessories, trade visitors from the angling supply chain are expected to take a closer look at what is on offer this year.

Ocean Park’s decision to exhibit also follows a broader trend of state-backed and quasi-government organizations in Greater China pursuing commercial partnerships to diversify revenue streams. Industry observers note that the licensing show has steadily broadened its appeal beyond traditional entertainment and fashion categories, with outdoor, sporting goods and hobby sectors now among the fastest-growing segments in attendance.

The Hong Kong International Licensing Show and Asian Licensing Conference is scheduled to run alongside concurrent HKTDC events in early 2026, including the Home InStyle fair, giving buyers the opportunity to map licensing opportunities against finished product sourcing decisions in a single trip. For Ocean Park Corporation, the booth represents a platform to renew existing licensee relationships and to pitch fresh collaborations to the international buying delegations that converge on the city each year.
