ISH 2015 a major success

‘Comfort meets Technology' was the motto of ISH 2015, the world's largest trade fair for innovative bathroom design, energy efficient heating and air-conditioning technology, and renewable energies.

This year's show once again confirmed ISH as a major innovation platform for the sanitation, heating and air-conditioning sectors.

The event reported an increase in all significant figures, including a total exhibition space of 260,000 square metres, 2,465 exhibitor companies (compared to 2,436 in 2013) and 198,000 visitors (5% more than the 187,579 of 2013).

The figures representing the show's international appeal also increased, with 61% of exhibitors (compared to 58% in 2013) and 37% of visitors (33% in 2013) coming from outside Germany.

Specifically, ISH 2015 reported a 16% increase in the number of international visitors, with the largest national contingents coming from Italy, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and China. It also saw significant growth in numbers of visitors from the USA, UK and Ireland, testifying to the economic recovery underway in key market areas. Of the 618 new exhibitors, 161 were from Germany, 89 from Italy and 23 from Spain.

The next ISH will be held from 14 to 18 March 2017.
