“In these challenging times, the German Outdoor and Gardening Products Fair has once more proven itself to be an indispensable and reliable platform for the green industries. The strong response and growing numbers of international trade visitors, coupled with high‑quality discussions with our partners, motivate us to continue striving to further develop spoga+gafa,” commented Oliver Frese, Chief Operating Officer of Koelnmesse GmbH.

The International Trade Fair for Sports Goods, Camping Equipment, and Garden Lifestyle in Cologne, Germany (SPOGA+GAFA), offers a wealth of inspiration for garden‑related products worldwide. It stands as a nexus where creative ideas, networking opportunities, and green business converge. As international sports and leisure products become increasingly fashionable and integrated into everyday life, short‑term trends are exerting a growing influence on the sports‑goods market. Meanwhile, camping tourism is enjoying widespread popularity across European countries. In the gardening sector, more than half of German households own a garden, and there is a clear trend toward smaller home gardens; however, compared with other European markets, large family gardens still account for a significant share.
