IPM Essen 2024

The EU is well known for its horticultural (floricultural) industry; however, some special species only grow in the U.S. or have a more attractive delivery window. Ornaments, foliage, and plants/trees are proven good horticultural products for Europe. Europe offers opportunities for foliage exporters. The European market for horticulture is expected to grow further in the short- and long-term future. Digitalization, increasing sales in the unspecialized retail channel, and growing demand for produced flowers are major trends that are changing the flower industry in Europe.

IPM ESSEN, is the world's leading horticultural trade fair that revolves around solutions and innovations in the green sector. The IPM ESSEN is the only specialist trade fair of its kind to cover the entire value chain of plants, including production, technology, floristry, garden features, and the point of sales. Flowering potted plants, flower bulbs, young plants, green plants, hydroponics, vegetables, nursery plants, palm trees, bonsais, perennials, cut flowers, seeds and promotional products are all targeted at IPM ESSEN. The focus is on the plants. No other trade fair offers so much plant diversity and so many new plants.
