Tendence Trends 2018/2019

Individual, sustainable and creative are all words that sum up the trends at Tendence 2018. This launch into the second half of the year has clearly shown that there is no longer one single trend. The fashion is for whatever pleases – and that offers a great deal of scope for creativity, experimentation and humour.

Final report: 2:0 for innovativeness and internationality

The consumer-goods business is and will remain an impulse business – this was once again evident from the spectrum to be seen at this year’s Tendence. Around 20,000 trade visitors from 82 [1] countries – including five percent more visitors from outside Germany than last year – made new contacts, ordered the latest products for their businesses and gathered innovative ideas and impulses for a competitive future.

Results of the 2018 IFH Study: Online shopping the driving force of the trade in the future, too

Where do consumers shop today and where will they do so in the future? How can the conventional retail trade take advantage of the opportunities of digitalisation to be successful tomorrow? ‘Status Quo – the retail trade in Germany’, a study conducted by IFH Cologne on behalf of Messe Frankfurt reveals that the dynamism and mobilisation of the internet will continue to exert a modifying influence on shopping processes and customer interests.

FORM 2018 - Craftmanship and industrial product design

Good design is innovative and geared towards usability. It is aesthetically pleasing, durable, environmentally friendly, and at the same time, consistent down to the very last detail. Many different ideas, the love of detail, and the rigour and accuracy of the designs, are an expression of the designers’ and artists’ respect for consumers and the product. It is these requirements, and many more besides, that are met by the award-winning products in the FORM 2018 exhibition at Tendence in Frankfurt.

The conference, which has been organised by Digital Apartment and sponsored by Messe Frankfurt, is aimed at lifestyle innovators and start-up companies, as well as established professionals and sector experts.

Tendence.Impulse - guidance on 'being innovative'

Online retail offers many things, but not everything. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can browse through the whole range of products on offer, find detailed information, and order from the comfort of your own home. What it does not offer is qualified advice and the opportunity to touch. This is something that only the retailer on the ground can provide, as well as many other things: elements of surprise, an experience and entertainment.
