The 39th Cersaie, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings held in the Bologna exhibition centre from 26 to 30 September, “fully lived up to the expectations of the exhibitor companies” organisers say. A total of 624 companies took part in an exhibition space of 140,000 square metres in fifteen fully occupied halls of the Bologna exhibition centre, including 354 companies from the ceramic tile sector, 88 from the bathroom furnishings sector and 183 from the installation, raw materials, surfaces and services sectors. The show’s international profile was confirmed by the presence of 237 non-Italian exhibitors from 26 countries.
A total of 91,296 visitors attended Cersaie 2022 during the five days of the show, an increase of around 50% compared to last year’s event which was one of the first major trade fairs to be held in the difficult post-pandemic period. This figure included 44,215 international visitors (48.4% of the total) and 47,081 Italians, and marked a significant step on the climb back up to the 2019 level of 112,340 attendees.
“I am convinced that the 624 exhibitors who took part in Cersaie 2022 saw the best possible return on their investment in a show that once again confirmed its national and international importance among distributors, architects, installers and real estate operators,” said Giovanni Savorani, chair of Confindustria Ceramica.
“Ceramic products continue to increase their share of international markets thanks to their intrinsic characteristics such as healthiness, hygiene and durability. The Italian ceramic industry’s commitment to sustainability was the common thread running through the entire show, as confirmed by the meeting held in the exhibition centre with the regional and local institutions to take stock of the progress and results of the industry’s voluntary agreement on limiting emissions.”
