Exhibition Introduction
Asia Pacific Nut Expo 2027 (APNE 2027)
Time: August 25-27, 2027
Location: Shanghai New International Expo Center
The 2027 Asia-Pacific Nut Expo will be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from August 25-27, 2027, in conjunction with the 2027 Asia-Pacific Vegetarian Food Expo at the same venue. The exhibition aims to fill the gap in the domestic nut industry's lack of a vertical professional exhibition, leveraging the industry resources, buyer database, and brand influence accumulated by the Asia-Pacific Vegetarian Food Expo to create Asia's first professional platform dedicated to the entire nut industry chain. By bringing together global nut growers, processing enterprises, brand owners, and channel buyers, the exhibition will link the complete industry chain from raw materials to the dining table, promoting the branding and internationalization of the nut industry, and helping enterprises seize the multi-billion-yuan nut market amidst the wave of healthy consumption.
Market driving force: healthy consumption upgrade. Consuming 28 grams of tree nuts daily can reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol by 4%-6% and lower the risk of cardiovascular events by approximately 20% over five years. The "healthy" claim standard revised by the US FDA in 2025 allows manufacturers to label the unsaturated fat content of nuts on the front of their products. The "2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans" explicitly lists nuts as a preferred protein source.
Plant-based wave: With the increasing popularity of vegan and plant-based diets, the demand for nut-based dairy substitutes and snacks continues to grow. Walnut protein drinks are emerging as an alternative to soy milk and almond milk, while walnut butter is rapidly penetrating the healthy snack market as a premium alternative to traditional peanut butter.
Convenience-driven consumption trend: 42% of American consumers skip breakfast at least twice a week, driving the rapid growth of single-serving nut packaging. Convenience store channels in the Asia-Pacific market, especially in Japan and South Korea, have set up dedicated shelves for nuts and seeds.
Driven by the gift economy: The market size of China's gift economy is expected to reach RMB 1.6197 trillion in 2027, with 39.58% of consumers purchasing roasted nuts for gift-giving purposes. These dual attributes are driving market development.
Exhibition Opportunity Currently, the nut industry in China has yet to establish a vertical professional exhibition with broad industry influence. Most existing nut-related exhibitions are sub-sectors of large food exhibitions (such as FHC Global Food Expo and SIAL China), lacking a professional platform that focuses on the entire nut industry chain. The 2027 Asia-Pacific Nut Expo will fill this gap, leveraging the industry resources, buyer database, and brand influence already accumulated by the Asia-Pacific Vegetarian Food Expo to create Shanghai's first professional exhibition dedicated to the nut industry.
