Cologne International Trade Fair for Sports Goods, Camping Equipment, and Gardening & Horticulture

The SPOGA+GAFA, the Cologne International Trade Fair for Sports Goods, Camping Equipment, and Gardening & Horticulture, is the world’s largest and most influential trade show in the leisure and gardening sectors. It combines an industry procurement forum, an information platform, and a major media event, all under the theme “Outdoor, Leisure, Garden, Green.” With its impressive scale, it ranks among the most significant international exhibitions.

Against the backdrop of a still-challenging global market environment, SPOGA+GAFA has once again reinforced its position as a key international business platform for the horticultural industry, thanks to high-quality international buyer–seller matchmaking, extensive new-product showcases, and innovative programming.

This year’s edition attracted numerous internationally renowned buyers and retail chains, including Aldi, Amazon, B&Q, Costco, Kingfisher Group, Lowe’s, REWE Group, Walmart, and other global industry leaders.

Many exhibiting companies reported that the most valuable outcome of this year’s German Outdoor and Gardening Show was the high-caliber business discussions. With purchasing decision-makers from around the globe gathered on-site, communication efficiency improved markedly, leading to numerous new collaboration opportunities and commercial orders.

Two newly designed thematic zones—Outdoor Adventure and Grow Anywhere—present urban outdoor space concepts through realistic settings such as balconies, terraces, and courtyards, offering retailers fresh inspiration for product displays and consumer experiences.

Barbecue and outdoor cooking remained key highlights of this year’s show. Centered around the BBQ segment, the organizers introduced several signature initiatives, including the Pitmaster Stage and the Pit & Pitch outdoor experience zone, showcasing cutting-edge outdoor cooking equipment, culinary traditions, and emerging consumption trends, thereby enriching the on-site visitor experience.

The fair has repeatedly brought together a select group of premium exhibitors! The Cologne International Trade Fair for Sports Goods, Camping Equipment, and Gardening & Horticulture (SPOGA+GAFA) continues to unite companies across the global horticulture and outdoor lifestyle value chain, collaboratively exploring new avenues for industry growth.
