As one of the most international gatherings in the food trade calendar, SIAL China 2019 drew applications from 67 countries and regions and ultimately put 4,300 exhibitors on the floor, with overseas companies accounting for 49% and domestic companies 51% - a well-balanced mix. Exhibition space totalled 199,500 sq m, an 18% gain over 2018. The heavy presence of overseas exhibitors reflects the wider globalization of food trade and once again underscores SIAL China's strongly international character. For 2020, an even larger number of Chinese exhibitors has signed on.

Trade outcomes were equally impressive. SIAL China 2019 welcomed 117,595 professional visitors who came to catch up on the latest food market intelligence and open new business contacts, setting a fresh attendance record for the show and marking an 11.5% rise over 2018. Domestic visitors in 2019 travelled from 645 cities across 31 provinces and municipalities; non-local domestic visitors made up 52% and Shanghai-based visitors 48%. Overseas visitors accounted for 13.10%, arriving from 108 countries and regions, with Asia, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and Europe leading the way.

Satisfaction research confirms strong exhibitor endorsement of SIAL China: exhibitors and visitors from home and abroad gave average satisfaction scores of 83% and 90% respectively, while 70% of Chinese and international exhibitors reported closing deals or reaching cooperation intentions during the show.

Food and Beverage Utensils and Food Processing & Packaging Equipment Hall - a brand-new pavilion introduced by SIAL. Against the backdrop of a fast-changing catering market, the '2020 International Food and Beverage Packaging Exhibition' (FDP) brings renowned brands and manufacturers from the catering packaging design field into the show, aiming to help catering manufacturers raise efficiency and sharpen product image, and to enable more investors and catering business owners to build their own brands faster and more effectively.

Authoritative figures show that China's catering industry generated 4.3 trillion yuan in revenue between 2017 and 2019, second only to the United States in scale, and full-year growth for 2020 is expected to hold at around 8%. Meanwhile, a 2017-2019 China consumer survey found that 35% of respondents now perceive food and beverage products through packaging rather than the quality-first lens of the past - a share that stood at just 12% in 2015. 'High visual appeal' is set to become the dominant theme for catering companies going forward.

As consumption upgrades, packaging that is refined, practical and convenient has become a new priority for mainstream buyers, alongside product quality itself. Manufacturers are therefore compelled to cultivate a distinctive personality and style to win over more consumers. A completely fresh visual experience will be the central focus of the food and beverage industry in the years ahead.
