València, October 21. Babykid Spain + FIMI is adding the pet universe to its commercial offering in its seventh edition, which will take place from 20 to 22 January 2027 at Feria Valencia. The fair, co-organized by Feria Valencia and ASEPRI, is opening its doors to brands of textiles and accessories for companion animals, adding a new category to its international showcase of children’s fashion, footwear, childcare products and toys. “By adding the pet universe, we want to broaden the business opportunities for our buyers and make it easier for them to meet brands that can complement their product range,” says Alicia Gimeno, director of the fair.
The addition of this category reflects the role companion animals play in family life and household spending. Pets are present in 49% of Spanish households, with an estimated population of more than 30 million domestic animals. Average annual spending by households with pets is between €500 and €1,000, covering food, veterinary care, accessories and other services. In this context, BKS+FIMI is adding pet textiles and accessories as an opportunity for retailers and distributors to explore new business lines and expand their product offering.
MICUNA, ANEX, InnoGIO, AIRCUDDLE, JANÉ, YAMANN, ANZY HOME y CAVOE EASYGOare among the brands confirmed so far for this offering, which remains open to new participants. In addition, some fashion labels will also present capsule collections designed exclusively for pets.
The fair will feature products for companion animals’ rest, feeding, walks, play and travel. Beds, blankets, food bowls, collars, leashes, harnesses, toys, strollers and car travel restraint systems are among the product lines that will find their place at the event.
New possibilities for the point of sale
For professional buyers, this addition offers the chance to discover new products and assess how they fit into their store through direct contact with the brands. The proposal is aimed both at retailers who already carry pet products and at those considering introducing a selection of complementary items.
During their visit, retailers and distributors will be able to compare product features, view collections and consult suppliers on matters such as product presentation or distribution terms. Design, materials and functionality will be among the aspects they can examine in order to select a range suited to their customers’ profile.
For participating companies, BKS+FIMI opens a channel to national and international buyers across different commercial channels, as well as an environment in which to showcase their products and build new business relationships.
A strictly professional event
The pet universe joins a fair that brings together children’s and teen fashion, footwear, accessories, childcare products, layette, textiles, furniture, decoration and toys. This variety makes it possible to plan a buying visit that covers a store’s different needs and to discover categories close to its usual business.
With this addition, BKS+FIMI 2027 broadens its commercial offering and the points of contact between brands and distribution. Admission is restricted to trade professionals.
