Revenue in Europe’s Convention and Trade Show Organisations industry is anticipated to drop at a compound annual rate of 7.2% to €30.4 billion over the five years through 2024. The sink in revenue over the period is predominantly due to the significant damage the COVID-19 outbreak inflicted on the sector, as convention and trade show organisations were shut down temporarily or operated at limited capacity. The industry has weathered unfavourable economic headwinds since the COVID-19 outbreak, as inflationary pressures hit the Eurozone, limiting significant investment into new projects, compounded by lacklustre business sentiment. As a result, convention and trade show organisations' revenue is set to decline by 1.5% in 2024. The industry's key clientele is the commercial enterprises whose participation in events like trade shows and conventions mainly depends on their economic outlook. Private individuals are more likely to attend events during a positive consumer climate. This directly influences the appeal for companies to showcase themselves as exhibitors at trade shows. Inflationary pressures are set to ease over 2024, with promising signs in the latter end of 2023 strengthening business and consumer sentiment to the benefit of the industry. Revenue is projected to swell at a compound annual rate of 4.2% over the five years through 2029 to €37,1 billion. The industry is set to benefit from Europe’s improving economy in the coming years as markets stabilise and clients begin to expand investment, requiring the services of convention and trade show organisations. The industry’s growth will be squeezed by growth in telecommunications and digitalisation after consumers were forced onto online teleconferencing amid COVID-19 disruptions to travel. Continued growth in online substitutes to the industry will prove detrimental to the industry, with convention and trade show organisations adapting by implementing their own digitalisation efforts.
