It dropped by 9.7% for all furniture, and even by 11.2% for upholstered furniture. Employee and company numbers are also going down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are extremely sorry to be skipping the imm cologne, but ultimately, this is a necessary, and the right step,\u201d said VDM president Leo L\u00fcbke.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike many other industries, the furniture market has also changed considerably over the past few years, and along with this the demand for trade fairs. Unfortunately, the industry\u2019s current situation is forcing many companies to change course. As an industry, we are working intensely with Koelnmesse on the development of new concepts tailor-made specifically for the individual furniture segments. As Europe\u2019s largest furniture nation, we need our central industry shows, and believe in the Cologne venue\u2019s furniture expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BVDM president Markus Meyer agreed: \u201cI understand the decision to skip next January\u2019s trade fair, and I am sorry that the industry did not lend better support to its leading international trade fair. The imm cologne has been an important meeting place for the industry for decades. By taking a break next year, we will not only lose a central platform for innovation and exchange, but also an important stage for serving the international market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of the industry\u2019s stakeholders are now urgently tasked with getting together and finding joint solutions. More than ever before, we must now concentrate on securing and strengthening our position. The industry needs a strong platform like the imm cologne in order to restructure itself in a way that ensures its future viability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The chairman of the Koelnmesse management board, Gerald B\u00f6se, expressed his thoughts about the future of imm cologne: \u201cPausing the imm cologne at this point in time is a logical decision, in view of the situation the industry currently finds itself in. It was an extremely difficult decision to make, but it was also unavoidable in order to show our international customers some consideration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDue to its January date, the imm cologne did not take place three years in a row during the pandemic. This lack of continuity, coupled with the current economic environment, makes it impossible for us as event organizers to guarantee an attractive range of exhibitors for the retailers in Cologne in January 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe still intend to offer the furniture industry an international stage in Germany in future. We are already jointly developing very promising concepts that meet the changed requirements of all stakeholders as best as can be. Koelnmesse is the world\u2019s number one in interiors, as impressively proven by the ORGATEC, the interzum and the spoga+gafa. We must now steer our flagship back on course, together with the furniture industry.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Together with the Association of the German Furniture Industry (VDM) and the German Furniture and Kitchen Retailers Association (BVDM), Koelnmesse has decided to skip the IMM Cologne\u2019s January 2025 edition.
