As we delve into the year 2024, we're witnessing a fascinating transformation in the world of sweets and snacks. This year's trends reflect a profound understanding of health, innovation, and global taste preferences. Here are the highlights that will delight not only your palate but also your imagination: 1. Health at the Edge of the Spoon: 2024 is all about healthy indulgence. From chocolates rich in superfoods and antioxidants to snacks that offer functional benefits without compromising on taste. These products demonstrate that health and pleasure can go hand in hand 🥄 2. Sustainability You Can Taste: The industry is taking its responsibility seriously, embedding sustainability into every bite. Expect more products with ethically sourced ingredients, biodegradable packaging, and clear transparency in the supply chain that treat the Earth as well as they taste ♻️ 3. Flavor Explosions: Exotic flavors and unexpected combinations are on the rise. Think chocolate with matcha and yuzu, spicy mango gummies, and vegan snacks that present traditional flavors in a new light. These trends invite you to think globally and enjoy locally 🌶️ 4. Textures That Surprise: From crunchy to fluffy, from fizzy to creamy, the textures of sweets in 2024 are more diverse than ever. These innovative experiences add a new dimension of enjoyment that goes beyond taste and appeals to all the senses 🌀 5. The Return of Classics: While new trends flourish, we're also seeing a renaissance of classics – with a modern twist. Retro sweets that remind us of childhood, but with improved ingredients and without artificial additives, show that what's old can be new (and better) again ➡️ 2024 is a year that proves the world of sweets and snacks is dynamic, innovative, and deeply connected to the values of consumers.

When we first inaugurated the exhibition center in 1971, Koelnmesse GmbH could already look back on 45 years of success. Even back then, the industries were diverse, which is why today we not only share the fifth-largest exhibition grounds with countless other events but also the reason for our 100-year existence: international quality! ✨ Thanks to the continuing trend towards trade fairs that allows us to enjoy our very own slice of this cake. Despite all its internationality, Koelnmesse has always remained anchored in Cologne. The Institute for Trade Fair Management and Distribution Research has ensured that the next generation of trade fair organizers will be there. 🚀 We look forward to continuing to sweeten the location with the most delicious innovations from all over the world for the next 100 years, wish you all the best, and may there always be a cherry on your cake! 🍒
