The German trade fair industry is confident about the second half of the year and 2025: almost three quarters of organisers expect their trade fair formats to develop at least as well or even better than the international competition.

The German trade fair industry is starting the new year with a tailwind. More than 330 trade fairs are planned. Heimtextil in Frankfurt am Main, the PSI trade fair for the promotional products industry in Düsseldorf (photo) and the world's leading trade fair for carpets and floor coverings, Domotex, in Hanover will kick off the year.
