You cannot compare the major international airshows like Farnborough, Le Bourget or Dubai to Americana air fest like Osh' or Sun & Fun. There is no international airshow of that level in the US.
Most major airlines/manufacturer orders are announced/signed at those International airshow which are new plane display shows, not aviation county fairs where every Piper Cub ever produced is displayed. Those are business, trade shows.
