Beyond products, towards market leadership: how Zoomark 2027’s Special Areas position exhibitors as industry leaders

From 11 to 13 May 2027 at BolognaFiere, Zoomark unveils ‘Beyond’ and confirms its six strategic special areas driving innovation across the pet industry
 
From the supply chain to innovation, from aquatics to grooming: an exhibition ecosystem showcasing every segment of the pet industry.
In today’s global pet care market, competitive advantage is no longer defined by manufacturing capabilities alone, but by the ability to position products and businesses strategically. Taking place at BolognaFiere from 11th to 13th May 2027, Zoomark once again positions itself at the forefront of this evolution with a unique exhibition concept built around seven special areas designed to transform the industry’s key trends into tangible business opportunities.
The headline addition to the 2027 edition is Beyond, a new special area dedicated to end-of-life services and memorial care. More than simply responding to a growing market demand, Beyond reflects Zoomark’s strategic vision and its understanding of a profound cultural shift: companion animals are now widely regarded as members of the family, and supporting them throughout every stage of life, including its final chapter,has become an increasingly important need requiring professionalism, compassion and innovation.
As such, Beyond becomes the first international B2B platform dedicated to providing concrete solutions for this emerging market segment.
An ecosystem designed for every business objective
Alongside the debut of Beyond, Zoomark 2027 will once again feature the special areas that contributed to the success of the 2025 edition, reinforcing its role as the industry’s strategic reference point for professionals looking to stay ahead of the market:

An ecosystem that brings together ideas, businesses, buyers and professionals seeking the trends that will shape the pet industry in the years ahead. 
     
  • Atelier – Where excellence takes shape. An exclusive showroom dedicated to premium brands in pet fashion, design and beauty, where creativity, exceptional craftsmanship, refined aesthetics and premium materials define true excellence. A carefully curated environment showcasing companies that make innovation, artisanal expertise and sustainability their competitive advantage.
     
  • Pawfect! – Where wellbeing becomes an experience. A vibrant destination dedicated to professional grooming and pet wellness, where technical expertise takes centre stage through education, live demonstrations and hands-on learning, alongside the latest innovations shaping the sector.
