CATEGORY 44 AUSTRALASIAN DENTIST EVENTS The International Dental Show (IDS) 2027 is already making its presence felt – and the international dental industry is sending a clear signal months before the event begins. More than 1,000 companies from over 50 countries have already registered for the 42nd edition of the IDS, taking place from 16 to 20 March 2027 in Cologne. Around 90 per cent of the available exhibition space has thus already been booked. Virtually all the relevant international market leaders have confirmed their participation. Above all, the figures show one thing: for the global dental industry, the IDS is the place where the market comes together. Manufacturers, dentists, dental technicians, retailers, service providers and other industry players gather in Cologne to initiate business deals, further develop existing partnerships and gain an overview of the technologies and developments that will shape the dentistry of tomorrow. A market comes together in Cologne The high demand is not limited to Germany. The countries with the strongest representation currently include Italy, South Korea, France, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey. In addition, group bookings have been received from the USA, China, Brazil, Bulgaria, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. This means that, in 2027, the IDS will once again reflect the full breadth of the dental industry’s international landscape. Also noteworthy is the high number of returning exhibitors. Many companies that were already represented at the IDS in 2025 have re-registered at an early stage. At the same time, numerous new exhibitors are taking the opportunity to become part of this international platform for the first time. The early demand clearly demonstrates the importance of the IDS for companies wishing to present their products and solutions to an international trade audience and further develop their market position. The IDS is no longer solely about showcasing individual products. The trade fair reflects developments across the entire sector – from digital workflows and artificial intelligence, through imaging techniques and 3D printing, to new materials and modern treatment concepts. Where the future of dentistry is on display Developments in implantology in particular illustrate just how closely the various fields of technology are now interlinked. Digital and networked workflows, AI-assisted planning, CBCT, intraoral scanners and 3D printing are increasingly becoming integral parts of a comprehensive treatment concept. At the same time, new possibilities are emerging through biomaterials and procedures to support bone and tissue regeneration. The IDS does not present these developments in isolation. Its particular strength lies in the fact that a wide variety of technologies, suppliers and solutions come together in one place. This gives trade visitors an overall picture: Which technologies have already reached the market? Which developments are on the verge of the next step? And which solutions can be combined with one another? This is precisely where one of the IDS’s key functions lies. It is not only a showcase for the dental market, but also a point of reference for an industry that is constantly evolving, both technologically and economically. The guiding star of the international dental industry The strong turnout for 2027 builds on the success of the previous event. IDS 2025 attracted 135,000 visitors from 156 countries and more than 2,000 exhibiting companies. In doing so, the trade fair once again underlined its role as an international platform for business, knowledge and communication within the dental sector. In 2027, Cologne will once again become the meeting place for the international dental world. Over five days, innovations will be presented, business relationships nurtured, new contacts forged and developments discussed. For companies, the IDS means international visibility and direct access to markets and decision-makers. For trade visitors, it offers the opportunity to experience the full breadth of the dental market in one place and to compare developments directly with one another. The fact that more than 1,000 companies from over 50 countries have already committed to IDS 2027 at such an early stage is therefore more than just a snapshot of exhibitor registration. It is an early market signal – and an indication of the significance IDS holds for the international dental industry. From 16 to 20 March 2027, Cologne will once again showcase the latest developments in dentistry, the technologies shaping the next stage of progress, and the direction in which the global dental market is heading. u Join us at IDS 2027 – More information on our website IDS 2027: The global platform for the dental industry sends a strong market signal amalgadent.com.au 1800 806 450 malgadent ●Bisco TheraBase ●Bisco Duo-Link Universal ●Bisco TheraCal PT ●Bisco TheraCem ●Bisco TheraCal LC ●Bisco ZirClean ●Bisco Z-Prime ●Bisco All-Bond Universal Proudly distrib Buy 2 get 1 free of the same product and shade Valid to 31/12/2026
