Kind + Jugend 2020 [ABGESAGT] in Köln

Kinder + Jugend is the leading international trade fair for children's and baby equipment. Every year, the top international players in the industry gather here. In addition to children's furniture and seating, the fair offers baby and toddler toys, baby cosmetics, children's clothing and shop fittings. Impulses for new products and concepts are given and as the most important business platform in the industry worldwide, visitors also have countless ordering opportunities. Kinder + Jugend is therefore an information, ordering and networking platform at the same time. Wholesalers and retailers as well as specialist retailers, department stores, drugstores and online retailers will be represented nationally and internationally at the trade fair.

Kinder + Jugend 2019 attracted 24,000 visitors from 133 countries. On an event and exhibition area of 110,000 m², 1,288 exhibitors presented their products, concepts and innovations. All exhibitors praised the high quality of the audience: 87% of visitors have an influence on purchasing decisions. Among the top trends at Kinder + Jugend 2019 were digitalisation and connectivity. The topic of sustainability received special attention in the textile segment this year - it is to be further developed in the future in line with the segment. For 2020, the exhibition options for start-ups at the trade fair will be expanded even further.
