The importance of food processing will be under the spotlight at SIAL Paris 2024, hoping to gain visibility while providing information about the latest trends within the industry.
Food processing methods are crucial in transforming raw food into new products. The preparation and processing reduces the waste of fresh food and enhances its quality, offering numerous health benefits.
The spotlight on this topic aligns with the massive transformation within the food processing industry, with an evolution being driven by the dynamic shift in how consumers evaluate food choices. Sustainability, origin and health benefits are in great demand, with brands that practice 'clean label' favoured.
Automation, the integration of AI, data analytics, and intelligent manufacturing processes have progressed to enhance companies' efficiency while reducing costs.
Consumers are making environmental practices the heart of their choices, shifting the industry towards sustainable and ethical practices.
The food processing sector now must reevaluate supply chains, packaging methods, production processes, and capabilities to minimise food waste through recycling.
SIAL Paris 2024 will reconnect different trends and advancements within the agri-food industry.
The food processing sector will be divided into four main sections: processes for the food industry, equipment for shops, institutional and commercial catering, and transport and services.
Over decades, the show has remained a critical promotional opportunity, helping exhibitors achieve comprehensive media coverage and generating visibility among audiences inside and outside the show.
In 2024, SIAL Paris will have 140 exhibitors presenting their range in food processing, with 65 percent being international. As of 2022, the global food processing market was valued at EUR €55 Billion, and it is predicted to rise to EUR €369 Billion by 2032.
