“Meet Health. Future. People.” is MEDICA’s campaign slogan for the future in the new trade fair year 2025.
The leading international trade fair for the healthcare and medical technology industry confirmed how aptly chosen the motto is with the successful staging of
MEDICA 2024 and the concurrently held No. 1 supplier trade fair
COMPAMED 2024. “The best options for global networking were on offer, along with an incredible variety of cutting-edge innovations and top-level program highlights. MEDICA is unique in its global reach,” said Marius Berlemann, Chief Operating Officer of Messe Düsseldorf, impressed by all the activities at the exhibition booths and stage programs. From November 11 - 14, a total of 5,800 exhibiting companies from 72 nations presented their expertise to some 80,000 trade visitors from 165 countries at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany and provided an impressive overview of modern healthcare solutions for inpatient and outpatient care. The events are unique worldwide for presenting the entire medical technology value chain which also includes technically sophisticated supplier products. With a high proportion of decision-makers and high satisfaction ratings, both events were perfectly in line with the excellent results of previous years.
More than 90% of the trade visitors had decision-making authority and over 90% were satisfied with their participation in the events.
“This boosts our exhibitors' business. Overall, the trade fair's success shows us that the international competition for leadership in medical technology innovation is gaining momentum and, as in other industries, companies from Asia are also heavily involved. In addition to the German companies participating, other national and regional businesses from Europe, China, South Korea, India and, of course, Japan and Taiwan were particularly well represented with top innovations. We are particularly pleased with the large number of exhibitors from the U.S., which once again made up almost 10% of all exhibitors, with their variety of joint booths, including those representing multiple U.S. states”, explained Christian Grosser, Director Health & Medical Technologies at Messe Düsseldorf. Overall, 372 U.S. exhibitors showcased their product at MEDICA 2024, with 157 participating in the two U.S. Pavilions, organized by Messe Düsseldorf North America. At COMPAMED 2024, 87 U.S. companies displayed their innovations, with 22 exhibitors participating in the U.S. Pavilion, also organized by Messe Düsseldorf North America.
