• The Shenzhen International Health and Nutrition Expo (HNC) is the largest and most influential health and nutrition industry event in Southern China,co-hosted by the China Chamber of Commerce for Import & Export of Medicines & Health Products and Shanghai Intex Exhibition Co., Ltd. Leveraging Shenzhen’s strategic position as the core engine of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, it has evolved into a strategic platform connecting global health industry chain resources, showcasing cutting-edge technological achievements, and leading industry development trends. The expo collaborates closely with concurrent exhibitions such as Hi&Fi Shenzhen Health Ingredients Expo and NEII Natural Extracts Expo, jointly building a comprehensive commercial ecosystem that spans from raw material supply to end-market distribution.
• The core value of participation lies in its full-industry-chain coverage and precise channel connections to the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area consumer market. The expo aligns with domestic and international trends in health consumption upgrading, constructing a holistic ecosystem of health products and services covering the entire life cycle. Exhibits include nutritional supplements, dietary supplements, medicinal-food synergy and therapeutic nourishment products, beauty and skincare items, weight management solutions, light meal options, natural organic products, healthy water and premium oils, smart wellness devices, and household health appliances—popular categories that cater to diverse needs. Additionally, the expo offers supply chain support services such as contract manufacturing and private-label processing, providing businesses with one-stop procurement solutions.
