Anuga Select Ibérica strengthens its partnership with Frozen España
The trade fair is to host the first edition of the Frozen Food Market from 16 to 18 February 2027 at IFEMA MADRID.
Anuga Select Ibérica, the trade fair organised by IFEMA MADRID and Koelnmesse, is expanding its programme ahead of its first edition, which is taking place from 16 to 18 February 2027 in Madrid. In this regard, through a partnership with Frozen España, the Spanish National Association of Frozen Food Manufacturers and Distributors is directly involved in the trade fair’s Organising Committee and is hosting the Frozen Food Market (FFM) event in Madrid, as part of Anuga Select Ibérica.
Frozen Food Market was established to raise the profile of frozen products and create business opportunities among industry-linked manufacturers, distributors, buyers, logistics operators and partner companies. Its inclusion in Anuga Select Ibérica marks the start of a new phase aimed at expanding these contacts, attracting buyers from other markets and reinforcing the prominence of frozen foods within the food industry, thereby cementing its position as the leading national and international event dedicated to frozen products.
FFM will have its own dedicated area within Anuga Select Ibérica where companies affiliated with Frozen España will take part and organise professional activities designed to highlight the innovation, export capacity and strategic role of the frozen food sector within the wider food industry.
According to the latest report compiled by Alimarket Gran Consumo and Frozen España, the frozen food sector has been growing strongly in terms of consumption volume in recent years, reaching a market value of over 4.7 billion euros. In this regard, frozen products are increasingly valued for their quality, convenience and operational availability, which is driving sustained growth in production and consumption. In terms of sales by product type, fish and seafood continue to rise, followed by ice cream, ready meals, and vegetables.
Commitment to a booming sector
The partnership between Anuga Select Ibérica and Frozen España marks a further step towards establishing a trade fair that has been conceived with an international outlook and aims to become the leading meeting point for manufacturers, distributors, buyers and professionals in the food and drink industry from southern Europe, Latin America and North Africa. Anuga Select Ibérica forms part of the international Anuga ecosystem and reinforces Madrid’s role as a strategic hub for the global food industry.
The first edition of Anuga Select Ibérica is taking place from 16 to 18 February 2027 at IFEMA MADRID, bringing together a wide range of exhibitors, specialised content, spaces for professional networking and new business opportunities for the entire food value chain.
