Even in the current tumultuous times in several

countries worldwide, the overall worldwide exhibition

industry expects continued growth in turnover for the

coming year, according to the recently released 17th

Global Exhibition Barometer. However, a significant

level of uncertainty is forecast for the first half of 2017in Asia, Middle East and Africa. In addition, with the

heightened level of random violent incidents, 60

percent of companies surveyed said they have

introduced additional security measures at their events

in the past months.

In North America, the outlook is very positive: morethan 8 companies out of 10 expect an increase in

turnover for 2016 and the first half of 2017, and more

than 50% of those polled declare an increase of more

than 10 percent in annual profits for 2015 and 2016.

Likewise, the U.K. - at the time of the survey, before

the EU referendum - was expecting to perform in apositive way similar to North America and good

perspectives also appeared in several other European

Despite global uncertainty, UFI Report indicates trade show industry thriving

markets. In Germany, however, less than half of the

survey participants anticipate a growth for the first half of

2017 compared with a cyclically strong 2016. In Turkey,

which also was surveyed before the recent coup attempt,

significantly fewer companies report growing profits thanin earlier UFI barometer surveys. The situation in Russia

remains flat. In Central and South America, a majority of

companies anticipate turnover decreases in 2016, but are

more confident for the first half of 2017. Profits there also

are expected to rise, with the notable exception of Brazil.

In Asia, as well as in the Middle East and Africa, 30-50%of survey participants on average declare an increase of

more than 10% in annual profits for 2015 and 2016. The

level is lower in China, where 20-30% of participants

report such increases in annual profits. Twenty percent to

40% of those polled in Asia/Pacific, the Middle East or

Africa report uncertainty regarding their turnover for thefirst half of 2017. The complete results of the Exhibition

Exhibit’ reveals exhibitors are savvy and discriminating. Theyscrutinize different factors when determining whether to exhibit /expand participation or reduce/leave an event. Study findingssuggest factors considered are essentially the same for eitherdecision. An event’s ability to deliver stellar performance on thesetop-ranked factors helps assure its stability and growth potential.

The second fact sheet is a reminder to organizers that their successis not guaranteed.
