Industry Relevance 

Natural Products Expo West has been there since the birth of the organic, health-conscious market. The very first edition took place in 1981 in Anaheim, California and the trade fair targets the West territory of the USA. Another sister trade fair based in Philadelphia services Eastern state markets. You have quite the large variety in products from supplements and specialty foods to personal care and home products. Editions are held at Anaheim Convention Centre annually and are the first big opportunity for exhibitors to showcase new products and collections to buyers.

As a result, this is where professionals are able to experience the fresh trends for the year ahead. You have extensive programming available and many sign up for the fast-paced Natural Products Business School. 

As we’ve mentioned, the natural and organic industry is having a moment and breaking records. The New Hope Network’s Nutrition Business Journal reported that in 2021 the industry grew by 7.7% to $274 billion in 2021. Currently, it’s expected to cross $300 billion in sales by 2024, and $400 billion by 2030. Part of the reason why this has been the case is the role of the pandemic. End consumers are more preoccupied with their health, which has led to changes in consumer behaviours. It’s also important to note that there’s been a growth in the numbers of new customers who have turned to natural and organic products. 

Who Are You Going to Meet? 

Brands with a regular presence at the trade show include Himalaya Herbal Healthcare, Barlean’s, Quantum Health, Mondelez, HempFusion and Garden of Life.

Additional Value of Attending
