Trade Fair for Environmental Technologies

Market South Africa

IFAT AFRICA

Since its debut in 2015, IFAT Africa has continuously grown in strength, establishing itself as the leading trade fair in Southern Africa for water, sewage, refuse and recycling. This event brings together key industry players and leaders to explore and present solutions in the environmental technology sector. In 2025, IFAT Africa will once again co-locate with analytica Lab Africa, the premier industry trade fairs, to showcase innovations in environmental technologies and analysis. This co-location creates synergies that add significant value for both exhibitors and visitors.

South Africa, a leading industrial economy on the continent, faces critical challenges in water delivery, purification, solutions for the food and beverage industries and laboratory technology. The country's advanced infrastructure, coupled with ambitious plans for further investment and development, positions it as an ideal market for businesses from Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

Southern Africa encounters unique environmental challenges, and IFAT Africa serves as the perfect platform to address these issues, making it an indispensable event for the industry. Environmental concerns have gained public attention, particularly as conditions threaten cities like Cape Town. The region has been grappling with severe droughts in the past, prompting South Africa and neighboring countries to commit to substantial investments in water and wastewater projects. With an investment volume of 2.7 trillion Rand (over 180 billion CHF) planned between now and 2035, major projects include maximizing surface water usage, desalination of seawater, reducing water losses and reusing wastewater.

As the economy and population rates rise, so does the waste volume in the country. The South African Department of Environmental Affairs has responded with a National Waste Management Strategy aimed at promoting waste recycling and efficient resource utilization. Departing from the previous landfill-focused strategy, South Africa now explores solutions such as waste separation, recycling, bio-waste recycling, thermal recycling and the treatment of special waste and e-waste.
