After five action-packed days the world’s leading trade fair of the consumer goods industry finished in an upbeat mood today. Trade visitors from more countries than ever before spent their time networking and ordering the latest products from all over the world for their companies. They also obtained worthwhile stimuli for a digital future.
The new Ambiente partner country has been decided on: India will take over the partner country globe from the Netherlands. This was announced by Messe Frankfurt at a festive ceremony on the penultimate day of Ambiente.
What could be a better place for discovering the favourite items of the coming season than the biggest consumer goods event in the world? Sylvie Meis is not only an entrepreneur, presenter, model and designer, but also a style ambassador for the Netherlands, and in this capacity she explored the depth and width of products at Ambiente.
New halls, new opportunities: Hall 12 is Messe Frankfurt’s answer to the challenges of the future. It encapsulates the need for something new, sustainable and vital in today’s world – something that will pave the way for tomorrow. By occupying Hall 12 from 2019 onwards and by completely restructuring Ambiente throughout the event, the world’s leading trade fair will be ideally prepared for the years ahead.
This year’s economic forecasts are only being adjusted in one direction – upwards. Private consumption is rising – both globally and in Germany. These are good conditions for five successful ordering days in Frankfurt, whether it’s ethical purchases, project furnishings or trendy shopping.

Small domestic appliances are getting increasingly smarter, heating up water to the desired temperature, conjuring up bowls of soup, producing bread dough, creating desserts and even turning fibrous fruit into ultra-fine purée for a smoothie. In fact, high tech can make all the difference. End users appreciate convenient gadgetry and are therefore happy to part with a bit of cash.
The future of the retail trade is digital – among other things! There is a demand for convenience. But whereas nowadays we can find convenience on the web in the form of search engines, diversity and delivery speed, the potential of tomorrow’s convenience will be far more dynamic and will be found in high street shops.
