Photokina exhibition suspended until further notice
The international exhibition center Koelnmesse, located in Cologne (Germany), published a message regarding the exhibition of photographic equipment Photokina. The report says that due to the ongoing sharp decline in the photo equipment market, it was temporarily stopped organizing this exhibition.
Even before the coronavirus pandemic began, the market was severely shocked, with double-digit sales declines annually. In 2020, the momentum in this direction has increased significantly. This could not but affect the exhibition’s fate, which has been held in Cologne regularly since 1950 and has remained the leading industry event for many generations. Whether the exhibition will be resumed, one day is unclear.
