SIAL China Guangzhou 03. – 05. September 2026 | International trade fair for food

The SIAL China, which has been a leading international trade fair for food and beverages since its launch in 2023, will now be held annually at the Poly World Trade Center Expo in Guangzhou following its relocation from Shenzhen. The name SIAL stands for “Salon International de l’Alimentation”, meaning “International Food Exhibition”. The event is organised by Comexposium, a global organiser of trade fairs and conferences.

The exhibition covers a wide range of sectors, including baby food, organic and wellness products, dairy products, non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, meat, poultry, processed meats and sausages, seafood, as well as pulses and cereals. This diversity highlights its central role as a platform for innovation and emerging trends within the food industry.

At SIAL China, food manufacturers, distributors, importers, wholesalers, retailers, and representatives from both institutional and commercial foodservice showcase their latest products and services. As such, the trade fair serves as an important gateway to the Chinese market and a key platform for international companies seeking to establish a presence in China’s dynamic business environment.
Distinctive features of the event include numerous competitions and award ceremonies recognising outstanding innovation, such as the SIAL Innovation competition, the SIAL Chic and Tea Contest, and the SIAL Cup Barista Challenge. These events promote quality and innovation while providing valuable opportunities for exchange between industry professionals and companies.
As part of a global series of SIAL exhibitions, SIAL China plays a pivotal role in the international food industry. Participants and exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of sectors, including food production, foodservice, and trade.
The Poly World Trade Center Expo in Guangzhou offers modern facilities and excellent infrastructure, making it an ideal venue for events of this scale and significance. Its convenient accessibility further enhances the trade fair’s appeal for both local and international participants.
