Welcome to the 26th edition of the “UFI Global Exhibition Barometer” survey. This study is based on a global survey, conducted in December 2020. It represents up-to-date information on the status and outlook of the global exhibition industry as well as on 29 specific markets, including France and Peru for the first time.

UFI launched the barometer on the back of a global crisis – the 2008 Financial Crisis - and this edition updates and adds to the previous one released in July 2020 to produce an assessment on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the exhibition industry in the full year 2020, as well as projections for the future.
