The No.1 Specialist Platform for Functional Food Industry Professionals

11 February 2020

With its youthful population and large financial resources, Asia will be critical to any new balance on the global economic and political stage. Over the coming years, Asia will play an even more influential role in world finances as its economic engine switches gear from production to consumption.

Asia is consuming 25% more than it did at the start of the financial crisis in 2008. This has propelled GDP growth rates to double-digit levels. From 2008, GDP has grown 18% in Singapore and Indonesia, 14% in the Philippines, 10% in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Thailand, 25% in India and 29% in China.

Motivated by these positive indicators and the success of previous events, Duxes will host the 5th Nutraceutical and Functional Food Asia Pacific Summit 2020 in Singapore, from June 17-18. The summit will gather delegates from across the functional food and nutraceuticals industry, including government officials, researchers, analysts, and representatives from leading companies and industry associations, to discuss trends and developments in the fast-paced Asian market.

During the two-day event, speakers representing regulatory agencies and officials will detail the regulatory framework and market-entry procedures in prominent jurisdictions, including Japan, Indonesia and China. Further testimony from industry leaders and analysts will provide firsthand knowledge on crucial product innovations such as probiotics and CBD, the ascendant anti-aging sector, as well as market trends toward infant health and personalized nutrition.

The 5th Nutraceutical and Functional Food Asia Pacific Summit 2020 will provide a platform for high-level exchange and collaboration within the functional food industry, continuing Duxes’ support for the industry’s growth in emerging markets. Professionals, whose work relates to functional foods, health foods, food packaging, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals, are invited to attend.
