Shaping the Future of Baby Products in Cologne This September
From September 9 to 11, Cologne will once again host the world’s largest trade fair dedicated to baby and toddler products, drawing more than 900 exhibitors and 15,000 trade professionals from over 140 countries. Held at the renowned Koelnmesse Exhibition Centre, this international event spans 75,000 square meters and showcases every aspect of early childhood—from transport gear and feeding essentials to educational toys and maternity fashion.
First established in 1960, the fair has grown into the most influential global platform for innovation, networking, and business development in the baby care sector. With 90% of exhibitors and 76% of visitors hailing from abroad, it is a truly international marketplace that shapes global trends and fosters valuable partnerships.
New in 2025 is the Trend Space, a modern hub in Hall 11.2 designed for inspiration and interaction. It features expert talks, a consultation lounge, integrated dining, and the Innovation Award Exhibition, where winners across eight product categories—including sustainability—are displayed. The Innovation Award Ceremony opens the event on September 9, with a special “Midwives’ Choice” award presented by a jury of practicing midwives.
The fair’s seven themed areas reflect the evolving demands of modern families, emphasizing multifunctional design, digital integration, and environmental responsibility. Featured brands include market leaders such as Chicco, Nuna, Cybex, Bugaboo, and UPPAbaby.
Networking highlights include the After Seven Party on September 10, offering scenic Rhine views and live entertainment. Visitors benefit from free public transport, extensive lodging options near the venue, and accessibility features throughout the grounds.
With momentum already outpacing previous years and demand rising, early ticket purchase and hotel booking are advised. This year’s event promises a dynamic showcase of the future of childcare—where innovation meets opportunity on a global stage.
