Exhibition Facts and Figures

Source of the following information: Exhibition Industry Statistics

Since 2006, the UK has seen an increase of 13% in terms of exhibition venues that amount to more than 5000sqm in space. Globally, approximately 31,000 exhibitions are held per year, where 4.4 million exhibiting companies welcomed 260 million visitors. During 2011/12, an annual average of 1,147 exhibitions were organized by companies whose headquarters do not reside in the country that the exhibition was held.

From these figures, exhibitions of all kinds (not just artist exhibitions, but other sectors) are becoming more and more popular - they are being noticed for their value more often.
