Ambiente, the leading international trade fair and the world’s number one in products associated with dining, cooking, household items, furnishings and ornaments, interior design, gifts, jewellery and fashion accessories, is “The Show” for the entire industry.
The breadth and width of Ambiente make its unrivalled product range unique throughout the world. The world’s leading trade fair for consumer goods in Frankfurt has come to an end after five days, finishing in an excellent mood and with a rise in visitor numbers.
Ambiente 2019 featured 4,451 exhibitors from 92 countries and attracted 136,000 trade visitors from 166 countries, presenting classic and innovative products over five days. This most important global consumer goods exhibition offers a wide range of events, programmes for newcomers, trend presentations and award ceremonies, all at the same time.
Occupying an exhibition space of 306,500 square metres gross, the show revealed the trends of the forthcoming business year. 85 percent of all exhibitors came from outside Germany, making Ambiente 2019 the most international one of all times. Significantly more exhibitors reached their targets for the trade fair this year, making more contacts than the year before.
“Using Ambiente as a trading hub, consumer goods manufacturers from the entire world target both local and regional markets – all over the world. The signals are set for the entire year, 2019, and beyond. This is impressively borne out by the number of orders and the quality of both German and international buyers,” says Detlef Braun, member of the Executive Board of Messe Frankfurt GmbH.
The top ten visitor nations after Germany were Italy, China, France, UK, Netherlands, United States, Spain, Switzerland, Russia and South Korea. Satisfaction ratings among visitors remained at a high and robust level of 94 percent. Outstanding increases in visitors were recorded from the entire world this year, particularly from South America, with countries such as Brazil, Ecuador and Mexico, from Europe including UK, Spain, Netherlands and Russia, and from Asia, with China, Thailand and India.
