More than 1,000 companies from 53 different countries have already booked stands for next year’s Interzoo pet trade exhibition.
The event, which is held every two years in Nuremberg, Germany, is reporting robust growth in demand from Spain, the US and Italy, while the number of registrations from Poland, Hungary and Turkey already exceeds the number of companies from the previous edition. At the last Interzoo in 2024, around 2,150 exhibitors from 68 countries showcased product innovations, trends and services, while 37,000 trade visitors from 140 countries attended the show.
Interzoo is aiming to open 15 exhibition halls for the next show on May 12-15, 2026.
Norbert Holthenrich, president of the German Pet Trade & Industry Association (ZZF), the institutional sponsor of Interzoo, said: “We are delighted by the particularly early and exceptionally high demand for places at what is the most international fair in the sector.
“By participating in Interzoo, companies are investing in their visibility, their sales, and their strategic growth.”
Dr Rowena Arzt, director exhibitions at event organiser WZF, added: “The massive response from the pet supplies industry shows that companies have an undeniable need to meet one another in person at Interzoo, present products to customers directly, and build international networks.
“To-date, 16 national pavilions have been planned. These pavilions provide the opportunity for international exhibitors to take part in the world-leading fair as part of a national pavilion including turnkey concepts and special services.”
