Messe München has published its financial results for fiscal year 2025, reporting record consolidated group sales of EUR 594 million, group EBITDA of EUR 175 million, and consolidated net income of EUR 99 million. The figures were presented by CEO dual leadership Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer and Stefan Rummel, who described 2025 as the company's best-ever fiscal year.
The Munich exhibition grounds hosted 18 own events, participations, and partnerships alongside 74 guest events during the year. A total of 34,600 exhibitors and over 2.5 million visitors attended events at the Munich location, which alone generated sales of EUR 517 million and EBITDA of EUR 152 million. The strong Munich results were driven primarily by a dense schedule of world-leading trade fairs including BAU, automatica, drinktec, bauma, transport logistic, and IAA MOBILITY.
For the electronics manufacturing sector, the relevance of the Messe München portfolio lies in its international subsidiaries. In China, productronica China and electronica China are cited explicitly among the events that generated considerable interest from exhibitors and visitors. Both formats serve as regional platforms for the SMT assembly, soldering, inspection, and electronics production supply chain communities in the Asia-Pacific market, complementing the biennial productronica and electronica events held in Munich.
The company's 42 events held outside Germany attracted more than 1.8 million visitors and 17,000 exhibitors. Messe München also stepped up activity in North America in 2025, with analytica USA and transport logistic Americas. India hosted multiple flagship fairs as well. These results from foreign subsidiaries are described as contributing to both overall growth and business resilience.
Messe München notes that 2026 results are expected to be lower due to the rotation of trade fairs—a structural feature of the exhibition calendar that periodically concentrates major events into alternating years. For the electronics manufacturing industry, the next key milestone in Munich remains productronica 2025, which took place in November 2025, with electronica scheduled to follow in 2026.
The record performance underlines the continued relevance of physical trade fairs as business platforms, even amid the economic headwinds referenced by Messe München management. For European electronics manufacturers and their international supply chain partners, events within the Messe München portfolio remain primary venues for technology assessment, supplier qualification, and market intelligence gathering.
