Asia Food Expo 2026: Manila will once again bring together the food processing, packaging and food technology industry

8 June 2026

From 9 to 12 September 2026, the World Trade Center in the Philippines will host the 32nd edition of ASIA FOOD EXPO, held alongside the Food Ingredients and Food Manufacturing (FIM ASIA) Expo. The event is an important platform for the food processing, packaging, manufacturing technology and food ingredients sectors in the Philippine market. 

ASIA FOOD EXPO with FIM Asia has been developing since 1991 as one of the leading industry events in the Philippines, created to bridge the gap between international and local food trade. Today, the exhibition offers a comprehensive platform for companies seeking solutions in food processing, manufacturing, packaging, food & beverage, FMCG, and food ingredients.

This year’s edition will bring together around 200 exhibitors from more than 20 countries, cover over 10,000 sqm of exhibition space, and attract more than 9,500 trade visitors from different countries. The scale of the event confirms its importance as one of the main meeting points for companies interested in the Philippine market and the wider ASEAN region.

The relevance of the exhibition is also strengthened by the market position of the Philippines. The country remains one of the most important packaged food markets in ASEAN, and according to Euromonitor, retail sales in this segment were estimated to reach nearly USD 17.5 billion in 2023, making the Philippines the second-largest packaged food market in ASEAN after Indonesia. At the same time, the country’s total food imports reached USD 20.56 billion in 2024, including cereals, processed food, meat, fats and oils, dairy products, poultry, and confectionery.

The exhibition profile will cover a broad spectrum of products and technologies, including food and beverage processing and packaging technologies, edible oil technology and machinery, bottle filling, sealing, wrapping, labelling and packaging systems, warehousing, storage and refrigeration, spices and condiments, sauces and blended premixes, canned food, confectionery, dairy products, convenience and ready meals, tea, coffee, juices, organic and health food, meat and poultry, fruits and vegetables, frozen food, seafood, and processed, packed, dried and value-added products.

Asia Food Expo 2026 is an important meeting place for manufacturers, importers, distributors, technology providers and ingredient suppliers looking to expand their presence in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia. For the industry, it will offer an opportunity to identify new suppliers, analyse market trends and build business relationships in one of the region’s most promising markets.

Venue: World Trade Center, Philippines
Date: 9–12 September 2026
