analytica Lab Africa, the only trade show in South Africa for the laboratory technology, analysis, biotechnology and diagnostics sectors, will be back in Johannesburg from 8 - 10 July, 2025, following a series of international events in 2024.

Organised by Messe Muenchen India and Messe München GmbH, analytica Lab Africa is a part of the worldwide analytica network.

Bhupinder Singh, CEO of Messe Muenchen India, says: “analytica is a recognised international brand, with our 2024 events including analytica Anacon India/ Lab Expo India, which took place this month, analytica Munich, analytica China and analytica Vietnam. In 2025, we focus on Africa and the analytica brand is also expanding into North America with the launch of analytica USA in Columbus, Ohio next year. 

analytica lab Africa visitor numbers grew by 45% in its last edition, thanks to a powerful combination of leading market players in attendance, strong international participation, and unique show features. In 2023, the trade fair boasted exhibitors from across the globe, including powerhouses like Germany, Austria, China, Italy, Norway, India and the UK. Visitors flocked from all over Southern Africa.”

analytica Lab Africa will be staged again at Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand, in colocation with IFAT Africa - Africa’s leading trade fair for water, sewage, refuse, and recycling. This creates a unique and comprehensive showcase of synergistic solutions for the laboratory analysis, quality control, biotechnology, diagnostics, water, wastewater, and waste management sectors.

The event will bring together international exhibitors, leading brands and industry decision makers for three days of discovery and networking. In line with the international formula for analytica events, analytica Lab Africa features an extensive exhibition area with live product interaction, industry training and workshops focusing on best practices, trends and emerging technologies.

Singh adds: “analytica Lab Africa remains the only show of its kind for the sector in Africa. Stakeholders welcome the opportunity to learn, network and see the latest trends and innovations in the world of lab technology, diagnostics and analysis solutions. At the last analytica Lab Africa in 2023, 107 top domestic and international exhibitors showcased 230 leading brands. In co-location with IFAT Africa, the events brought together over8,000 local and international visitors across a broad value chain including water and waste, recycling and environmental technologies.”
