The latest study to determine the economic contribution of Messe Frankfurt, conducted by Prognos AG, underscores once more that Messe Frankfurt is a strong economic driver for the city, the region and the state.
Socio-economic effects
Events held at Messe Frankfurt generate direct, indirect and induced revenues along the entire value chain. Across Germany, the socio-economic effects total € 3.7 billion annually, with € 2.1 million alone benefiting the city of Frankfurt am Main.
Total effect on jobs
To support the related economic activities, approximately 30,000 jobs are required. Service activities such as stand construction and rental, as well as hospitality, benefit the most, especially at the home venue in the Frankfurt am Main metropolis with over 17,000 jobs.
Tax revenues
These economic activities generate € 667 in tax revenues, with € 45 million for the city of Frankfurt and € 622 million for the rest of Germany through state and federal taxes.
About the study:
This study determines the economic contribution of Messe Frankfurt in the city of Frankfurt and beyond, generated by events during an average trade fair year in the 2024/25 cycle. The core of the study consists of surveys on the spending behaviour of visitors and representatives from exhibiting companies at selected events.
