Heimtextil 2026 came to an end last Friday in Frankfurt – with 148 participating countries, 3,000 exhibitors, and more than 48,000 buyers. At last year's fair, the organizers counted 50,000 visitors. However, Messe Frankfurt emphasizes that the proportion of top decision-makers rose to 78 percent this year. The organizers also report an increase to 68 percent in returning visitors. The visitor structure also achieved an internationality of 86 percent, partly due to growth from the USA, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, and Peru. The organizers emphasize the “significantly growing visitor quality” in 2026. The exhibition showcased the latest collections, materials, and textile solutions for holistic interior design.
