Record-Breaking Registration Numbers: International Interest in Interzoo 2026 at All-Time High

Nuremberg/Wiesbaden – With six months to go before the next Interzoo (12 to 15 May 2026), several records have already been broken. The display area booked so far already exceeds the total from Interzoo 2024, marking a historical high. For the first time, exhibitors will present their products and services across no less than 15 exhibition halls and 16 national pavilions. International interest in the world’s largest and most important trade fair for pet supplies has thus reached unprecedented heights.

The new record in registrations, combined with a strong international presence among exhibitors, underscores Interzoo's position as the world's leading trade fair for pet supplies. Germany, China, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Belgium, the USA, Spain, Poland, the UK and India are particularly well represented. New exhibiting countries, which did not attend the last Interzoo in 2024, are Egypt, Kazakhstan, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. Sixteen countries from Europe and beyond will showcase a wide array of new products and innovations at their respective national pavilions. Turkey, Thailand and Spain will debut their country pavilions in 2026.

'We are absolutely thrilled by the growing interest in Interzoo worldwide. The record number of registrations for Interzoo 2026 underlines its role as a driving force and trailblazer for the global pet industry that provides valuable direction to industry experts and market participants alike. During the four-day event, trade visitors will have a unique opportunity to explore the complete spectrum of the pet supplies sector with its incredible diversity of products and services, nurture their personal business contacts with innovators and decision-makers, and draw inspiration from the event's dynamic atmosphere and energy of the global pet community,' explains Dr. Rowena Arzt, Head of Exhibitions at Interzoo organiser WZF - Pet Industry Services.
