The event which had 310+ exhibitors recorded a footfall of more than 22,000 individual visitors over the five days. After the UK, the largest visitor groups were from Germany, Benelux, France, Italy and Spain. Encouraging number of visitors at the show had ultimate purchasing responsibility. According to the organisers 71.3% of visitors had inputs in purchasing decisions at their respective organisations.

Fespa managing director, Neil Felton, commented, "The exhibitors I've spoken to here at Fespa have been absolutely delighted with the breadth of international visitors, and stands throughout both halls here had been buzzing. Significant product launches in many areas have given visitors plenty of new technology to explore, while our visitor features have attracted printers looking for guidance on how to take their business in new directions."

Forthcoming Fespa events include Fespa Mexico (15-17 August 2013, Mexico City, Mexico), Fespa Eurasia 2013 (3-5 October 2013, Istanbul, Turkey) and Fespa China 2013 (18-20 November 2013, Shanghai, China).
