Zoomark opens and fills its 10th hall

The international trade fair for pet products and accessories in Bologna, Italy, is riding a wave of success: the next edition, from 5 to 7 May, is already fully booked, prompting the organisers to expand the exhibition area. Thanks to the additional space, the event will be able to break new records and accommodate a growing number of an estimated 1 500 exhibitors and around 30 000 visitors, announces Luisa Bersanetti, Exhibition Manager of Zoomark.

“The expansion of Zoomark 2025's exhibition space is a direct response to the extraordinary demand from the global pet industry, a sector that continues to thrive," explains Bersanetti. In 2024, global sales increased by 7.2 per cent.

With the addition of a tenth hall, the exhibition space now covers 90 000 square metres. Thanks to the B2Match matchmaking platform, buyers and companies can plan their meetings in advance, optimising their visit to the show.

Zoomark has also been organised in a more structured and efficient way, according to the organisers. Visitors will be able to follow three themed routes: 'Italian Style' - where companies producing in Italy or offering Italian design will be presented. Green Mark' is dedicated to companies committed to sustainability, and 'Tech for Future' will showcase exhibitors at the forefront of innovation in the pet industry. Five special areas will also showcase emerging trends and innovations.
