The 27th edition of Xylexpo, the biennial international exhibition of technology for the wood and furniture industry, closed after four busy days in the halls 22 and 24 of FieraMilano-Rho in Milan, Italy.
Xylexpo 2022 was attended by more than 16 thousand unique visitors, a figure that reaches up to over 22 thousand visits if you consider that a single visitor came back several times over four days.
Xylexpo is probably the only post-pandemic exhibition that has achieved a number of unique visitors in line with the last pre-Covid event in 2018, according to organisers.. The share of international visitors decreased by a few percent points (from 28 percent in 2018 to 25 percent in 2022), in line with the expectations of organizers due to the closure of markets like China, Russia and Ukraine, traditionally interested in Italian technology.
Luigi De Vito, president of the exhibition and Acimall, said: "The figures have confirmed not only the role of Xylexpo but also the decisions we made for this edition, aimed at redesigning the layout and focusing on the elements that will be the pillars of future exhibitions: a different strategy in product presentation and a strong focus on new digital services that can only expand the scope and function of an exhibition".
