Everything is ready for Zoomark International, the international pet food and pet care fair which opens its doors at BolognaFiere on May 15th and closes on May 17th.
This edition, the twentieth, can be defined as an exceptional event for several reasons. First of all its numbers: 7 pavilions, 1,056 exhibitors, 75% of which from abroad (57 Countries of origin), 9 foreign group exhibitions from the United States, China, Canada, Brazil, UK, Greece, the Czech Republic, India, and Thailand.
Moreover, the trends: this market lives by inspirations capable of leading operators in the coming years. This is why at Zoomark there is both an area reserved for Start-ups, Next, which will host 50 young companies, and Pet Vision. In the latter, visitors have the opportunity to discover the five megatrends that will characterize the pet market in the near future, from sustainable products to those in the functional health sector, from personalized ones to ‘value for money’ ones, to the world of luxury products. The five categories will be at the centre of an unprecedented competition, which, through a quality jury, consisting of international sector journalists, on May 16th will decide the most innovative products launched at the fair.
Furthermore, the event does not neglect the world of aquariology, to which a specific exhibition with high technological content is dedicated, Aqua Project, in pavilion 29, which is expected to be spectacular in its installations.
How is the market doing?
The guidelines of the entire sector will be outlined on the first day of the fair by the presentation of the new Assalco-Zoomark Report, the first of a series of appointments dedicated to training and insights, which will also include a focus on nutrition, animal health, technologies sales, international scenarios, and trend in other Countries. The presentation of pet trends in Europe will be organized by Euromonitor, while training for pet shops will be carried out by Acad (Association of pet traders and groomers). The PLA-Plant Litter Association round table is also planned.
Twenty editions dedicated to the pet market
Whether we are talking about years with the wind in their sails, or complex periods such as that of the pandemic, Zoomark has over time confirmed itself, for all companies in the sector, not only as a meeting point, but as a reliable reference in order to truly understand the state of art and future prospects. The twenty editions of Zoomark, successes and consolidation of this role, will be celebrated in an important and shared way on the evening of May 15th, at the end of the first day of the event. Exhibitors and visitors will be involved in an informal and friendly context to share a relaxing evening and build new professional relationships, amidst memories of past events, reflections on the present, and plans for the future.
