­Paris, 31st January: Earlier this week, UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, released its latest Global Exhibition Barometer survey. The biannual survey report highlighted the quickening pace of the exhibition industry’s recovery in 2022 and a positive outlook for 2023.

With COVID-19 restrictions now a memory in most markets, full recovery is expected in 2023, save for a few market exceptions. More than 70% of the respondents declared a return to “normal activity” in December 2022, compared with only 30% in January 2022, and this figure is expected to reach 80% in June 2023.
