SIAL Shanghai, organized by Comexposium-SIAL, is one of Asia's largest and most influential food and beverage trade fairs. Since its launch in 2000, the event has served as a premier launchpad for food companies looking to enter the Chinese market and expand across Asia. The next edition runs May 18-20, 2027 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), bringing together over 5,000 exhibitors from 75 countries and regions, presenting more than 350,000 products -- including over 10,000 global debuts. The fair attracts over 180,000 professional visitors from 125 countries, including importers, distributors, retailers, and HoReCa buyers.

Walking the SIAL Shanghai floor is a global tour of food innovation. Pavilions from Europe, Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa sit alongside dedicated zones for organic products, dairy, meat and seafood, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and baby food. The TuttoPizza Village, co-organized with Naples' renowned pizza trade show, adds a dynamic culinary demonstration element. The SIAL Global Food Industry Summit runs concurrently, featuring expert discussions on supply chain trends, health and wellness consumer shifts, and market access strategies. For overseas food exporters, SIAL Shanghai is the single most effective platform to meet qualified Chinese buyers and build distribution networks.
