Besides the halls, additional areas on the outdoor display site as well as temporary halls are being used to accommodate the 1.538 exhibitors (+3%).
Both regular exhibitors and newcomers have contributed to this growth in floor space.
At the last event orders were placed totalling over four billion euros, making IFA the leading event for the industry and retailers in the run-up to Christmas, the most important trading period for stockists.
