IFA — All Editions

IFA is the world's leading trade show for consumer electronics and home appliances, held every September at Messe Berlin in Berlin, Germany and run by IFA Management GmbH, a joint venture of gfu Consumer & Home Electronics and Clarion Events. Unusually for a show of its size it runs a B2B trade fair and a public expo in the same halls in the same week. The 2026 edition drew 240,000 visitors from 155 countries and more than 2,000 exhibitors.

For planning, the 2026 edition ran from 4 to 8 September 2026 at Messe Berlin, and IFA Berlin 2027 is listed for 3 to 7 September 2027 at the same venue, a five-day show. The organiser reports that IFA 2026 drew more than 240,000 visitors from 155 countries, with over 2,000 exhibitors from 51 countries, more than 5,200 journalists, creators and bloggers, and 72 percent international buyers. It also reports more than 530 entries to the IFA Innovation Awards, which recognise standout consumer and home tech products.

Because the show mixes trade and public audiences, it helps to decide early which days and halls matter most for your goals. The 2026 floor included themed areas such as Hall 12 for Beauty Tech and Wellbeing and an IFA Retail Innovation Zone aimed at specialist retail.
