37 000 visitors at Interzoo

Around 37 000 trade visitors from 140 countries attended Interzoo in Nuremberg. This corresponds to a 32 per cent increase in visitors compared with the previous event two years ago, which was still impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The number of visitors attained, however, was still slightly below that of 2018, when around 39 000 trade visitors were counted at the last Interzoo before the pandemic. And it is also below the target of 40 000 that the organisers themselves set in the run-up to this year's trade fair. Around 2 150 exhibitors from 68 countries presented the latest products and services for pets at the world's leading trade fair for the pet industry.

"For many exhibitors and trade visitors, Interzoo is the highlight of the financial year. We are therefore delighted to have met and often exceeded the high expectations of exhibitors," comments Gordon Bonnet, managing director of trade fair organiser WZF and conceptual sponsor ZZF. Bonnet also emphasised the continued extraordinarily high international spread of 85 per cent of exhibitors and over 74 per cent of visitors, which underlines Interzoo's status as the world's number one industry platform. 

ZZF president Norbert Holthenrich added: "Interzoo 2024 was an enormous success for market participants in the international pet supplies industry. As was confirmed to us in numerous conversations, personal contact at the trade fair is the starting point for many long-standing business relationships and partnerships."
