There will be 21 categories of products on display this year by exhibitors from Chile, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United States, Canada, France, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, China, etc. Trade activities engage e-commerce platforms, retailers, importers and exporters, catering companies, etc., which diversifies the channels for high-quality food.
This edition consists of 7 themed exhibition halls across 200,000 sqm, announced the organizers.
In addition to typical exhibitions to showcase the richness and diversity of food, SIAL China works with XTC World Innovation to launch the SIAL Innovation Competition, where an international professional panel selects innovative products, providing valuable opportunities for publicity and exposure of exhibitors’ new products, and enhancing the added value of the award-winners. The food and beverages that are awarded each year have been sought after in the market.
It is worth noting that this SIAL China will continue to strengthen exhibition services through the Internet. Using live streaming and other latest communication methods, SIAL China will be more vigorous and updated. Facilitated by Online Marketplace, a platform built by SIAL China, and the special Match Me service, online and offline barriers are removed, resource allocation of all parties is coordinated based on digital intelligence, and innovation is achieved with big data, artificial intelligence, etc. as boosters.
"In the future, SIAL China will adhere to the primal intention of 'inspire food business' and, as the world’s largest platform, empower the industry with digital intelligence by virtue of the large Chinese market, and create a new highland of ideas. We will unlock the potential value of SIAL China, generating business opportunities for exhibitors and visitors," declared Li Yue, Managing Director of Exposium-SIAL Exhibition. The trade fair is the largest food exibition in Asia and the third-largest in the world.
According to the World Population Prospects 2019 by the UN, the world population will grow by approximately 2 billion by 2050. During this period, global food demand is expected to increase by about 60%. With uneven distribution of resources and accelerating urbanization, the demand for food will surge. As the age structure changes, more diversified food demand will become the booster for the food industry.
