Industry Relevance 

NATEXPO Lyon has charted the history of the organics market for the last four decades. Right from its very first edition in 1985, the annual trade fair has made a positive impact for exhibitors and now its reputation has only grown. In response to growing interest in the organic industry, NATEXPO Lyon made a significant change in its format in 2022. All future editions will now be extended to three days – a decision resulting in more business and favourable reviews from both exhibitors and trade visitors alike.   

NATEXPO Lyon’s biggest strength is its efficiency as a business platform. In 2022, the fair was responsible for nearly 1,500 business meeting appointments, which resulted in many deals. The trade fair showcases the full breadth of products and solutions with an emphasis on innovations.  The exhibition halls are divided into eight sectors – food, cosmetics and hygiene, ingredients, dietary supplements, services and equipment for retail and brands, ECO Products & Services, e-commerce and digital solutions, and the newly added textile. 

In addition to this, exhibitors can also find other avenues to highlight their product and meet with their target audience. You have a choice in the following seven themed villages: 

• Organic /Food and Wine Incubator
• Cosmetics Village
• NEW – E-Commerce and Digital Village
• NEW – ECO Products and Textile Village
• Cosmetics Big Splash
• Organic Food and Wine Big Splash
• The Lab

Finally, NATEXPO Lyon connects buyers with exhibitors through six guided tours. The trails are Organic Catering, Organic Private Label, Vegan Products, Zero Waste, Épure and Local.
