展会简介
The Exhibition Value of the Shanghai International Starch Expo
- A leading indicator for the starch industry in the Asia-Pacific region, organized under the authoritative auspices of the China Starch Industry Association. Since its inception in 2006, co-hosted by the China Starch Industry Association and Shanghai Intex Exhibition Co., Ltd., the event has grown over nearly two decades into the largest and most specialized starch industry gathering in the Asia-Pacific. In 2025, with a sprawling exhibition space of 200,000 square meters and deep integration with concurrent food‑related exhibitions, it will span the entire starch and derivative value chain, as well as the broader food, beverage, and greater health sectors—serving as a strategic platform for starch companies to showcase their innovative capabilities, connect with global resources, and stay ahead of industry trends.
- Comprehensive coverage of the entire industry value chain, presenting all five core segments in full. Exhibits encompass a wide array of starches—including corn, potato, cassava, wheat, pea, mung bean, and more—alongside modified starches for food, paper, textile, and pharmaceutical applications; starch sugars and sugar alcohols such as glucose, maltose syrup, fructose‑glucose syrup, and functional oligosaccharides; starch processing equipment and ancillary systems—including complete production lines, cleaning and drying technologies, grinding and mixing machinery, and filtration and separation solutions—as well as comprehensive environmental protection equipment. From traditional raw materials to functional derivatives, from core processing machinery to cutting‑edge green technologies, the expo offers a holistic view of innovation across the entire starch industry value chain.
- Bringing together global buyer networks to create an international hub for business matchmaking. In 2025, the expo will host nearly 2,500 high‑quality exhibitors and welcome a total of 93,080 professional visitors—an increase of 21% compared to 2024. Among them, 14,554 were dedicated starch‑industry professionals, marking a record high. International attendance spans 93 countries and regions, up 45% year over year, with strong representation from South Asia, Europe, the Americas, and other key markets. During the event, 225 targeted trade‑matching sessions will be held, enabling exhibitors to access global procurement networks without leaving Shanghai.
- Dual‑core “raw materials × machinery” drive fosters a collaborative ecosystem of industrial innovation. For the first time, the expo introduces a dedicated “Starch Processing Equipment Showcase,” breaking traditional exhibition boundaries to enable direct data connectivity between raw material suppliers and equipment manufacturers, thereby catalyzing new models such as customized production and flexible manufacturing. The Discovery Tour—a journey through the starch industry chain—extends from the equipment zone to the raw material exhibitors, offering a panoramic view of the industry’s innovative ecosystem, from raw starch inputs to deeply processed end products.
- The World Starch Industry Congress provides authoritative support, establishing a platform for deep integration among industry, academia, research, and application. Concurrent with the expo, the Ninth World Starch Industry Congress will convene, featuring a series of thematic forums—including the Potato Starch and Deep‑Processing Industry Development Forum and the Starch Industry Chain Development Conference—where academicians, chief scientists of national industrial technology systems, and industry experts will engage in in‑depth discussions on pressing issues such as global transformations in the potato starch sector, technological innovation, and market dynamics. Meanwhile, the Xinhua Index Research Institute will release authoritative data analyses, providing enterprises with a high‑level think tank to navigate policy directions and gain insights into emerging industry trends.
