    Intelligence

    Market context

    Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.

    Europe — DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland); venue in Munich, Bavaria, Germany

    Why it matters

    Munich is a buying hub for the German-speaking home & living trade, and TrendSet is a Munich order fair covering tableware, home textiles, decoration and lifestyle accessories. For suppliers and retailers, it is a pre-season window to write orders and set terms with DACH accounts rather than a pure consumer-facing showcase.

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    Sustainability and circular home goods

    Retail buyers increasingly screen for recycled fibres, certified textiles (GOTS, OEKO-TEX) and repairable or refillable product designs.

    02

    Premiumisation of tableware and dining

    Elevated everyday dining keeps demand strong for stoneware, hand-finished glazes, glassware and coordinated table concepts.

    03

    Quiet palettes and Nordic-inspired minimalism

    Muted, natural tones and textured, tactile materials remain the dominant visual language across tableware, textiles and decoration.

    04

    Home fragrance and ambience

    Candles, diffusers and home-fragrance lines continue to be a fast-moving add-on category with high margin potential for lifestyle retail.

    05

    Digital B2B ordering alongside the fair

    Suppliers are pairing physical stands with digital order platforms and QR-linked catalogues so buyers can reorder after the show.

    European home & living order-fair circuit

    Plan the season 6–9 months ahead; January and February windows overlap heavily, so avoid double-booking the same buyers.

    TrendSet sits inside a dense DACH and Western-European home & living calendar. January is dominated by the Frankfurt home-textile and consumer-goods week plus Paris and Milan, while February concentrates Ambiente and UK buying events — so plan which shows carry your key accounts before committing stand budget.

    January

    Heimtextil (Frankfurt)Maison&Objet (Paris)Homi (Milan)

    February

    Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.

    Visa not required
    ATA Carnet: check with organiser
    TypeWho needs itFeeProcessing
    Schengen Business Visa (Type C)Third-country nationals entering Germany for business purposes for stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period; EU nationals and nationals of certain other visa-exempt countries do not require a visa.—Up to 15 working days from the day of arrival at the visa section; allow up to 2 additional working days when the application is submitted via a VFS Global application centre.

    An exemption applies to EU nationals and nationals of certain other countries. Check the Federal Foreign Office visa list to confirm whether your nationality needs a visa for Germany.

    Weather

    February in Munich is cold and often overcast, with daytime highs typically around 3–5 °C and night temperatures falling to roughly −3 to 0 °C, plus a real chance of snow and frost. Precipitation is moderate (roughly 10–15 wet days in the month), so bring a waterproof outer layer, warm layers and shoes with grip for the walk between the halls, U-Bahn and parking.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Germany has strong mobile coverage through the Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and O2 networks. Business visitors can buy a local prepaid SIM or a travel eSIM (for example Deutsche Telekom T-Travel, Vodafone Travel eSIM or Airalo) for data during the fair.

    Ride-hailing

    Taxis

    Public transit

    Car rentals

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Tipping and payment

    German service culture keeps tipping modest: round up or add 5–10 % in restaurants and taxis, and state the total you want to pay when handing over cash. Cards are widely accepted in Munich, but smaller retailers and some taxis still prefer or only take cash, so carry some euros.

    Business etiquette and language

    Address new contacts with 'Herr'/'Frau' plus surname until invited otherwise, shake hands on greeting and arrival, and arrive on time — punctuality is taken seriously. German is the working language of most DACH buyers; send a one-page English and German summary of your range before the fair.

    Opening hours and Sundays

    Shops in Bavaria are closed on Sundays, and the trade fair (21–23 February 2027) runs Sunday to Tuesday. Plan any retail shopping or non-fair errands for Monday or Tuesday; restaurants and museums remain open on Sundays.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Monday 22 February 2027 (Day 2)

    TrendSet is an order fair, so the middle day typically has the highest density of active supplier and buyer presence: opening-day orientation is done, order books are open, and the closing day often winds down early. Booking appointments on Day 2 gives the best mix of stand availability and negotiation time.

    QUESTION 1 OF 6

    What is your primary role?

    Decision matrix

    Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

    visit

    Your assortment plan needs new tableware, home-textile or decoration suppliers and you can commit to placing pre-season orders on site.

    Best for

    Independent retailers, buying groups, interior/lifestyle buyers and trend researchers sourcing for the German-speaking home & living market.

    Min. budget

    $650.00

    Timeline

    4–8 weeks before opening day for ticket, hotel and travel booking; add 6–12 weeks if a Schengen business visa is required.

    Risks

    Budget estimate from listing cost signals (3-day ticket, ~2 nights mid-range hotel, per-diem, visa fee) — confirm live rates.

    German-speaking trade audience — bring translated catalogue and price lists to make appointments productive.

    exhibit

    You have an order-writing sales model and existing or target German, Austrian or Swiss retail accounts.

    Best for

    Manufacturers and brands in tableware, home textiles, decoration, home fragrance and lifestyle accessories selling into DACH retail.

    Min. budget

    $2,600.00

    Timeline

    3–6 months for stand booking, stand build, freight and buyer invitations ahead of the February window.

    Risks

    Stand/space pricing not published in captured sources — request the current Messe München space-rental and shell-scheme rate card.

    Budget estimate from listing cost signals (visit budget plus stand estimate) — confirm live rates.

    Order-fair format means ROI depends on pre-booked buyer appointments, not walk-by traffic.

    skip

    You cannot place orders in this buying window, or a peer event (e.g. Ambiente/Heimtextil) already covers the same buyers for you.

    Best for

    Teams whose product category or region focus sits outside the DACH home & living order-fair channel this edition.
