26 Frankfurt update In 2023, the three leading consumer goods fairs Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld will be held simultaneously and thus for the first time at the Frankfurt exhibition centre from 3rd and 4th to 7th February, 2023. In order to link relevant market players even more intensively and actively promote business with new customers, the range of paper, office supplies and stationery products will be repositioned within the three leading trade fairs. The individual product sectors of Paperworld will be presented in the leading international trade fairs Ambiente, Christmasworld and Creativeworld in a way that is both target group-specific and theme-specific. “One thing is quite clear: the former exhibitors and visitor target groups of Paperworld will continue to find their business home in Frankfurt in the future and in exciting product segments, freshly put together according to synergies and efficiency, which equally reflect the increasing fusion of the lifeworld home and office. In this way, we’re actively addressing the changes in the market, introducing our exhibitors to new, potential buyer groups and thus creating real added value. We give trade visitors numerous new business impulses and inspiration through changed perspectives”, explains Philipp Ferger, Vice President Consumer Goods Fairs. For example, stationery and school supplies complement the product mix at Ambiente Giving. Creative writing, painting and drawing materials will in future expand the portfolio of Creativeworld, the world’s leading trade fair for hobby, craft and artists’ supplies. The packaging and ribbon product groups are closely linked to the theme of celebrating and giving. Christmas is the seasonal occasion with the highest volume of gifts in the year and therefore the season that drives sales for these product areas. Going forward, they’ll therefore be presented at Christmasworld, the trade fair for seasonal and festive decorations. This is where the trade, whether large-volume (garden centres, DIY stores, florists’ wholesalers, food retailers and drugstores) or retail, will find the greatest inspiration.
