International Hotel & Restaurant Show 2026 Exhibition Report: The State of the Lock Industry and Future Outlook

Blockchain Lock Inc. participated in the "International Hotel & Restaurant Show 2026" held in March 2026. In this video, Okamoto from the KEYVOX business division reports on the exhibition, the current state of the lock industry as observed there, and our outlook for the future.

This year's exhibition saw pre-pandemic levels of visitor activity, with many partner companies exhibiting for the first time, reflecting a positive atmosphere across the industry. On the other hand, compared to overseas exhibitions, the emphasis on AI technology was more subdued, highlighting the characteristic of the domestic market that values "the real thing." It was an opportunity to reaffirm the strong demand among visitors for physical lock products.

At the KEYVOX booth, we deployed a compact "traveling merchant kit" designed for nationwide touring. Many visitors commented, "I've seen this before" and "Our customers are already using it," indicating growing brand recognition. As a cloud-based remote lock platform, we have built a unique market distinct from the traditional physical lock market, and going forward, we aim to further expand adoption among accommodation facilities and multi-location businesses.

Trade shows are not merely product promotion venues but valuable opportunities to feel the pulse of the industry firsthand. For more details, please watch the video below.
