    Before

    The UFI Barometer 2026 records that 64% of tier-one European exhibitors have adopted reusable modular as their default structural approach, up from roughly 38% in the 2022 edition

    After

    Industry practitioners increasingly report that reusable modular has become the default structural approach among tier-one European exhibitors

    Why: 2 issues fixed: The article attributes a precise adoption statistic (64% of tier-one European exhibitors defaulting to reusable modular, up from 38% in 2022) to 'UFI Barometer 2026.' The actual UFI Global Exhibition Barometer (36th edition, January 2026) covers activity/revenue outlook, operating profit forecasts, and AI adoption (87%); it does not contain this reusable-modular-adoption figure or a matching 2022 baseline. This appears to be a fabricated statistic attached to a real-sounding source. | Same fabricated UFI Barometer statistic repeated later in the article with additional unverifiable precision (hybrid share, single-use share).
