New record figures for exhibitors, exhibition space and visitor numbers

1671 exhibitors from 46 countries fully occupied the ten exhibition halls at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center. This included 296 first-time exhibitors. The net exhibition space amounted to 68,969 square meters. The proportion of foreign exhibitors was 37 percent, of which one in five companies was based overseas or in Asia. More than 120 world and European premieres were announced in the run-up to the trade fair.

The number of visitors rose to 69,856 trade visitors - an increase of 4,137 compared to the previous year and a new record compared to the previous record of 67,420 from 2024. Around 26.7 percent of visitors came from abroad, 42 percent traveled more than 300 kilometers.

According to the market research institute Wissler & Partner (Basel), 56% of trade visitors were there with decision-making authority. 35.9 percent came with concrete investment plans, while 25.3 percent stated that they had placed an order at the trade fair or would do so immediately afterwards. Among the deals reported were a contract signed by Norwegian sensor manufacturer Sonair AS for the use of its ADAR sensor in an autonomous robot, an agreement between Wiferion and SEER Robotics for inductive charging technology and a partnership agreement between the Brabender Group and PTV Logistics. The Dutch system integrator Syncore and the Stuttgart-based company Sereact agreed on the rollout of 100 AI-controlled robot systems.

One focus of this year's trade fair was humanoid robotics: several exhibitors presented corresponding systems in intralogistics environments. The Fraunhofer IML presented a current study on this topic. In addition, formats for promoting young talent and recruiting skilled workers were offered, including a start-up competition, the "Young Innovators" format and a CareerDay on the third day of the trade fair. The study "Working World (Intra)Logistics" was published to accompany the event.

The next Logimat will take place again in Stuttgart in 2027.
