China Shanghai International Exhibition on Healthy and Natural Food IngredientsHi China

The China Shanghai International Health & Natural Food Ingredients Exhibition (Hi China) is Asia’s largest and most influential trade show dedicated to health and natural food ingredients.With the theme “Innovating Ingredients for a Healthier Future,” it brings together upstream and downstream enterprises from across the global food‑health value chain to showcase cutting-edge technologies, groundbreaking products, and emerging industry trends.

This year, Hi China has once again set a new record in scale. The exhibition spans over 200,000 square meters, featuring more than 2,500 exhibitors from over 30 countries and regions. Concurrent events attracted a total of 100,798 professional visitors, an 8.3% year-over-year increase.

From natural raw materials and novel food ingredients to functional additives, food-grade excipients, beverage ingredients, flavorings and fragrances, plant extracts, pet food ingredients, as well as food processing and packaging equipment, the entire industry chain is represented, offering the sector an annual showcase that combines new product launches, technical exchanges, and business matchmaking.

The event draws a distinguished lineup of renowned companies and innovative brands from around the globe, including KERRY, Fonterra, Lonza, GIVAUDAN, Nexira, COFCO, Wilmar, Angel Yeast, Bloomage Biotech, Mengniu, Baolingbao, Rhine Biotech, and many others—both domestic and international—presenting breakthroughs in natural extracts, functional ingredients, food additives, and more.

Meanwhile, the exhibition’s international reach continues to expand. Morocco’s official delegation showcased specialty ingredients such as carob, organic saffron, and nut oils, while Brazilian companies, leveraging opportunities arising from China–Brazil cooperation, highlighted regional specialties like açaí and propolis, enriching the Chinese market with high‑quality natural options.

Business matchmaking remained robust throughout the event. An overseas raw material buyer‑matching session brought together international purchasers from Thailand, Russia, Colombia, Myanmar, Ukraine, and other countries, facilitating over 200 targeted business meetings that helped exhibitors swiftly establish overseas channels and broaden their global footprint.

Many exhibitors reported that, beyond unveiling their latest offerings, they successfully connected with a wealth of high‑caliber clients and strategic partners, laying a solid foundation for future market expansion. From ingredient innovation and functional upgrades to international collaboration and precision‑driven trade, these efforts are steadily propelling the food ingredients industry toward greater professionalism, globalization, and sustainability.
