141 international trade fairs planned for 2007
AUMA expects increase in all key trade fair indicators
Jan, 2007 - The German exhibition organizers are planning to conduct 141 international fairs in Germany this year. AUMA – Association of the German Trade Fair Industry – expects that around 160,000 exhibitors will participate at these events, representing an increase of about 2% on the respective previous events. In addition, AUMA expects that the rented space at the trade fairs will increase on average by about 1% and reach a total of 6.5 mill. m². The number of visitors will probably be around 10.2 mill., around 1% more than at the previous events. As a result – due to the composition of the trade fair programme - for the first time since 2001, the 10 million visitor mark will be exceeded once again.
By comparison: in 2006, according to the provisional results, the number of exhibitors increased by about 1.5% , rented space grew by almost 1%, while the number of visitors was on average 2.5% above the level of the previous events.
In the opinion of AUMA, this generally positive trend for the trade fair industry will be supported by the robust economic growth in Germany. Despite the increase in the rate of value added tax, almost all the economic experts meanwhile only expect a slight weakening in growth. Exports and imports will probably once again increase significantly.
AUMA, therefore, expects that, despite the growing worldwide competition, the German trade fairs will maintain their position as leading international platforms for trade and information.

Economy - overview:
 Germany's affluent and technologically powerful economy - the fifth largest in the world - has become one of the slowest growing economies in the euro zone. A quick turnaround is not in the offing in the foreseeable future. Growth in 2001-03 fell short of 1%, rising to 1.7% in 2004 before falling back to 0.8% in 2005. The modernization and integration of the eastern German economy continues to be a costly long-term process, with annual transfers from west to east amounting to roughly $70 billion. Germany's aging population, combined with high unemployment, has pushed social security outlays to a level exceeding contributions from workers. Structural rigidities in the labor market - including strict regulations on laying off workers and the setting of wages on a national basis - have made unemployment a chronic problem. Corporate restructuring and growing capital markets are setting the foundations that could allow Germany to meet the long-term challenges of European economic integration and globalization, particularly if labor market rigidities are further addressed. In the short run, however, the fall in government revenues and the rise in expenditures have raised the deficit above the EU's 3% debt limit. |
