GUANGZHOU, China, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Every September, Asia’s food buyers
begin preparing for the region’s biggest consumption season—Christmas, year-end 
gifting, Ramadan and Chinese Lunar New Year. They are turning to China for one reason:**
food trends often emerge here first**.

According to the **IMF**, Asia is expected to contribute nearly **60% of global 
economic growth**, making it the world’s fastest-growing consumer market.

For buyers across ASEAN and North Asia, discovery now matters more than sourcing:
finding the next bestseller first is the real challenge. **SIAL Guangzhou** is becoming
a key sourcing platform for buyers seeking the region’s next bestselling products.

Early this year, **SIAL in China and WGSN** (World’s Global Style Network) jointly
identified seven emerging trends shaping China’s food and beverage industry in 2026.

At **SIAL Guangzhou 2026**, these trends will be reflected through thousands of 
innovative products showcased by more than **1,500 exhibitors** across **15 sectors**,
offering visitors a closer look at the future direction of the food and beverage
market.

Functional dairy products, including A2 dairy, camel milk and nutritional solutions,
are meeting growing demand for gut health and personalized wellness.

**2. Clean-Label Protein Snacking**

High-protein snacks and premium meat-based products are redefining convenient nutrition
with cleaner ingredients and better textures.

**3. Tea-Flavoured Innovation**

Tea-flavor is expanding beyond beverages into snacks, dairy, coffee and confectionery,
creating new product opportunities.

**4. Asian Low-ABV Revolution**

Tea cocktails, sparkling rice wine and RTD beverages are bringing new and tipsy 
experiences to younger consumers.

**5. Low-GI & Functional Bakery**

Low-sugar, slow-release energy and functional bakery products are offering healthier
ways to enjoy everyday foods.

**6. Mood & Sensory Snacking**

Extreme sour flavours, cooling effects and multi-sensory experiences are transforming
snacks into emotional experiences.

ingredients with modern wellness concepts.
