Fair trio Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld, which took place in Frankfurt from 6-10th February, enjoyed a "high level of visitor satisfaction and internationality", reports organiser Messe Frankfurt, with 4,636 exhibitors and participants from 170 countries confirming the exhibitions' "leading role in an industry undergoing rapid change".
Detlef Braun, MD of Messe Frankfurt, commented: "Geopolitics, cost pressures and the need for transformation are no longer exceptional circumstances, but rather a new reality. This is precisely why it is important to seize the right moment in the market with confidence and drive. And that moment is here and now in Frankfurt.”
Around 140,000 visitors from all over the world took advantage of this opportunity, reports Messe Frankfurt.
Christian Haeser, MD of the German Trade Association for Home and Office Furnishings, confirms the relevance for specialist retailers: "Ambiente has once more proven itself to be an indispensable platform. The diversity and quality of the innovations on display showcase how vibrant and creative our industry is. For specialist retailers, this trade fair is the perfect place to identify trends at an early stage and sharpen their product ranges in a targeted manner – especially in conjunction with Christmasworld and Creativeworld."
The synergies between the three leading trade fairs reached a record level – visitors to one fair attended the other two events at a rate of between just under 60 and over 80%, underlining "the added value of the trade fair trio as an international one-stop shop", says Messe Frankfurt.
The strongest visitor nations were Italy, China, the Netherlands, the US and France, and the offerings related to Ambiente Projects attracted particular interest.
Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld will take place at the end of January in 2027, commencing on 29th.
