In 2017 China’s food market experienced many changes. According to a report released by the Boston Consulting Group and AliResearch , the upper-middle-class, affluent families and younger generations in China emerged to become the main consumer group and shaped food trends through their demand for quality, safe, and convenient products, and influenced marketing with their growing interest in food brands and original labeling.

From May 16 to May 18, 2018, at the Shanghai New International Expo Center, exhibitors from 21 food sectors, occupying 13 exhibition halls and 162,000 sqm will exhibit their products at SIAL China.
