Anuga 2027

9–13 October 2027 at Koelnmesse, halls 1–11 plus Confex.

Ten trade shows in one — Fine Food, Drinks, Chilled & Fresh, Meat, Frozen, Dairy, Bread & Bakery, Hot Beverages, Organic and Alternatives.

Trade only, and proof of industry affiliation is required to buy a ticket.

8,015 exhibitors and 145,000 visitors from 190+ countries at the 2025 event.

290,000 m² of gross exhibition space.

Biennial — odd-numbered years only.

Dedicated Halal and Kosher markets, plus an Organic Supermarket.

Start-up Area for first-time exhibitors.

The organiser defines its admitted audience precisely, and it is worth reading before assuming you qualify.

Decision-makers from food and beverage wholesale and retail — management, purchasing and procurement, market management, sales and marketing.

Trade cooperations, drugstores and health food stores.

Food import and export businesses, and trade representations.

The food industry and its suppliers.

The out-of-home market — hotels, classic and system gastronomy, catering, and company, communal and social catering.

Canteen kitchen planners and the specialist trade for canteen kitchen technology.

Nutritionists and employees of nutrition institutes.

Two practical notes. Admission requires documentary proof of industry affiliation at the point of ticket purchase. And with ten shows across eleven halls, planning by product segment rather than by exhibitor list is the difference between a productive visit and a long walk.

The organiser admits manufacturers, importers and wholesalers of food and beverages, providers of catering-trade technology, service providers to food retail and gastronomy, and trade agencies.

In practice that means:

Food manufacturers across all ten segments — the segment you apply into determines your hall and therefore your visitors.

Beverage producers, both alcoholic and hot beverages.

Importers and exporters looking for international distribution.

Private label manufacturers.

Organic and alternative protein producers, who have dedicated shows rather than a corner of someone else's.

Halal and kosher producers, served by dedicated markets.

Catering and gastronomy technology suppliers.

A Start-up Area exists for companies not ready for a full stand. Note the long build window: halls are accessible from late September, which matters for anything requiring refrigeration or complex construction.
