Annual Reports
Trade fairs, congresses and events are Messe Frankfurt's core business, both as an organiser in Germany and abroad and as a host. Fiscal year 2022 was massively impacted by the third year of the pandemic. The first quarter was completely cancelled in the western hemisphere and thus also the high-revenue flagship trade shows at the Frankfurt site. From the second quarter onwards, business was able to restart slowly. However, the key figures have improved significantly compared to the previous year. In the Annual Report 2022 you will find the final key economic figures of Messe Frankfurt for the past financial year.
