“The huge response from the international pet supplies community shows that companies have a genuine need to meet face-to-face at the world-leading Interzoo fair and present their products directly to customers. This also holds true for conversations at the stands, discussions in the forums, and networking at the Interzoo Party.”

World's leading trade fair Interzoo 2024 inspires exhibitors and visitors

With around 37,000 trade visitors from 140 countries and around 2.150 exhibitors from 68 countries, the 38th Interzoo was once the most successful edition of all times.

On a gross exhibition area of 140,000 square metres, exhibitors from 68 countries presented information on the world's most comprehensive range of products for dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, aquariums and terrariums, equestrian sports and pet food technology. The varied supporting programme, with specialist conferences on specific domestic markets, the Fresh Ideas Stage as a presentation platform for innovative ideas and networking events such as the Interzoo Party, enabled visitors to network professionally and receive exciting inspiration from within the industry. In addition, one of the leading specialist conferences in the pet food sector, Petfood Forum Europe, took place for the second time the day prior to Interzoo 2024 at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg.

Once again, the Product Showcase proved immensely popular at Interzoo 2024. On all four days of the event, it presented trends and innovations and a sneak peek at market developments for the next few years. Hall 3, with two community start-up pavilions and the Fresh Ideas Stage, was a highly popular place to get a preview of market developments in the coming years. More than 30 entrepreneurs presented their ideas to a wide audience on the stage. The Fresh Ideas Contest on Friday honoured three particularly innovative approaches.
