Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola was among the 80,000-plus visitors to the event, who travelled from 120 countries to see the 2,645 exhibitors on January 24-27.
Klaus Dittrich, CEO and chairman of event organiser Messe München, said: “Following the challenging pre-Christmas sales conditions, the mood was definitely better than expected.
“The plethora of innovations and new products presented at ISPO MUNICH further strengthened the confidence of the industry to be able to weather the latest challenges presented by climate and market structure changes.”
ISPO MUNICH 2017 is scheduled for February 5-8.
