Informa Markets to Host Vitafoods Asia 2025 Fueling the Growth of Asia's Nutraceutical Industry

BANGKOK, Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Informa Markets will host Vitafoods Asia 2025 from 17–19 September 2025 at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) in Bangkok. The event will play a key role in advancing Thailand's food and nutraceutical industries, aligning with the region's growing shift toward preventive healthcare and wellness.

According to Market Minds Advisory, the Asia-Pacific nutraceutical market is projected to reach USD 176.5 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 8%.

"The rapid growth of the food supplements and nutraceutical sector is fueled by rising consumer health awareness, especially around non-communicable diseases like diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular conditions," said Ms. Rungphech Chitanuwat, Regional Portfolio Director – ASEAN at Informa Markets.

Asia's consumers are increasingly seeking solutions for immunity, weight control, and holistic health. Functional beverages, such as protein and probiotic drinks, are gaining traction—especially among younger demographics. Industry players are focusing on R&D for new technologies and natural ingredients like turmeric, green tea, and herbs. Meanwhile, digital platforms and e-commerce are broadening market reach and offering personalized experiences.

"This shift toward preventive healthcare is driving strong demand for functional foods and supplements, paving the way for growth across health food, supplement, and nutritional technology sectors," added Rungphech.
