Exhibition Introduction
Highlights of the Tianjin Ice Cream Expo
- A Global Annual Gathering for the Ice Cream IndustryAs a globally recognized, large-scale, and highly effective international trade show in China’s ice cream and frozen food sector, it is officially organized by the China Baking Food & Sugar Products Industry Association. The 27th edition spans 50,000 square meters, bringing together over 500 renowned domestic and international companies and attracting more than 2,000 overseas buyers from over 90 countries and regions—double the number compared to the previous year—underscoring its growing global influence.
- One-Stop Coverage of the Entire Value ChainThe expo features five major exhibition zones—Machinery & Equipment, Raw Materials & Ingredients, Finished Products, Comprehensive Solutions, and International—which comprehensively cover the entire ice cream and frozen food value chain. From upstream production and processing equipment, packaging and logistics, and raw materials to downstream high-end finished products, cold-chain logistics, and point-of-sale support systems, it provides an optimal business platform for enterprises across the industry.
- An International Hub for Resource NetworkingThe event draws professional buyers from over 50 countries and regions, including Italy, Russia, Germany, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and others. Italy, known as the “Kingdom of Ice Cream,” participates with a dedicated delegation, further expanding its presence in the Chinese market. Hot topics in the International Zone include classic ingredients, artisanal ice cream, and commercial ice cream machines, fostering deep collaboration and partnerships between domestic and international players.
- Global Competitiveness of Chinese-Made EquipmentThe Machinery & Equipment Hall showcases more than 120 domestic and international manufacturers of ice cream production equipment. Chinese-made solutions now span the entire ice cream value chain—from standalone machines to intelligent production lines—renowned worldwide for their systematic design, diversity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Leading companies such as Nanjing Puyuan and Wuxi Danxiao derive over 50% of their annual revenue from overseas exports, offering buyers comprehensive equipment solutions.
- A Premier Launchpad for Innovative Products and TrendsThe Comprehensive Zone’s High-End Finished Products section brings together over 80 leading brands, highlighting trends toward health-consciousness, functional benefits, fashion-forward designs, localization, and scenario-based applications. Brands like Yili, Mengniu, Bright Dairy, Baxi, Deshi, and Dajiaodao collectively unveil their latest annual product launches. Meanwhile, the Ingredients Zone hosts more than 150 companies exploring innovations in new flavors, functional formulations, and clean-label products.
- Authoritative Empowerment Through High-Profile ForumsConcurrent events include the China Frozen Beverage Development Summit and Annual Industry Conference, networking sessions connecting domestic and international professionals, innovative product launch ceremonies, and an exhibition showcasing the latest global ice cream trends. Prestigious awards, such as the Annual Machinery Innovation Award and the Innovative Product Competition, provide enterprises with industry endorsements and platforms for visibility.
- A Highly Effective Business-Matching PlatformThe expo is committed to facilitating deep connections among upstream and downstream players in the ice cream value chain—from ingredient suppliers and equipment manufacturers to finished-product brands and international buyers—enabling technology exchange and resource sharing. The doubling of overseas visitor numbers in 2025 vividly demonstrates its critical role as a global nexus for the ice cream industry, bolstering confidence and driving collective progress toward the future.
- Strategic Synergy from North–South IntegrationSince 2016, the two major northern and southern ice cream expos have undergone strategic consolidation, closely aligning with market demands and providing an exceptional platform and opportunities for innovation, production, trade, application, and market expansion across raw materials, processing equipment, and finished products in the ice cream and frozen food sectors.
