Visitors from the Americas represented a total of 954 visitors from North America and 889 from Central America. It was revealed that almost 95 percent of exhibitors of the show reached their target groups and nine out of ten exhibitors rated their participation in Interzoo as successful.
Hans-Jochen Büngener, Chairman of the Interzoo Exhibition Committee, shared, “The mood among the exhibitors was excellent.

A total of 71 percent of visitors revealed they will attend Interzoo 2014, with 26 percent undecided. A total of 1,200 manufacturers exhibited the latest in pet supplies and pet food products at the 2012 show from May 17 through May 20, 2012.

As per the market research institute, Euromonitor, the global market for pet supplies reached a sales volume of 67 billion euros last year.
