Press information of Asia-Pacific Sourcing

Asia-Pacific Sourcing (APS), which opened its doors in Cologne from 11 to 13 March 2025, impressively confirmed its position as the biggest sourcing platform outside of Asia. Staged for the first time in Halls 7 and 8 of the Cologne fair grounds, the event recorded strong growth in the number of exhibitors: More than 800 exhibiting companies from 16 countries presented numerous new Asiatic tools and products from the household, garden and leisure sector on exhibition space spanning 32,000 m². As such, the trade fair once again served as an important platform that brings Asiatic manufacturers together with buyers from Europe and overseas and promotes long-term business relations. In spite of diverse local and air traffic warning strikes, over 5.500 trade visitors from 75 countries travelled to Cologne to inform themselves about the current industry trends and products. In comparison to the previous event, APS was able to record a 22 percent increase in the number of visitors. The next edition of Asia-Pacific Sourcing is scheduled to take place from 9 to 11 March 2027 and will serve additional segments.
