IFA remains at Messe Berlin as new chapter begins

IFA is the world’s largest consumer electronics and home appliances trade show.

IFA has been running since 1924 and as we celebrate 99 years, it is important to look to the past to see where we have come and how IFA has been at the centre of technology and innovation.

Since 1924, IFA has been the platform for tech launches, showcasing detector devices, tube radio receivers, the first European car radio and colour TV. From Albert Einstein opening the show in 1930 to the launch of the first video recorder in 1971, IFA Berlin has been integral to the transformation in technology, bringing together industry pioneers and innovative products all under one roof.

"IFA 2022 was a complete success for us. After 2 years of forced break due to Corona, it has impressively proven how important this leading trade show is for the entire consumer goods industry. We as a group of technical professionals were able to hold very good discussions with our members. We also saw that the industry was able to use the event powerfully and confidently to demonstrate to a broad audience how our industry serves the consumer zeitgeist with innovative and sustainable products and theme worlds."
