According to organiser Messe Düsseldorf, 230,000 trade visitors from over 160 countries were roaming the exhibition halls over the eight days of K 2016. Werner Matthias Dornscheidt, president & CEO of Messe Düsseldorf, said: "Just the sheer number of experts visiting K 2016 impressively confirm the appeal and importance of the trade fair – since this number is once again clearly higher than at the previous event in 2013. However, what is more important: the breakdown of trade visitors was of an exceedingly high standard. We can register a constantly good level of demand from Germany and a disproportionately high level of interest from abroad, especially from overseas. It is known the world over that K in Düsseldorf is THE innovation platform for the entire sector. A visit here is simply indispensable for everyone wanting to stay ahead of the competition."

The previous event in 2013 was attended by 218,000 visitors and 3,220 exhibitors.
