-China's most professional gathering of health and nutraceutical industry professionals

SHANGHAI, Aug. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- China's leading health food and nutritionals event, Healthplex & Nutraceutical China (HNC), successfully concluded on 28 June 2014 in Shanghai, China. This is the most important and professional health industry event in China.

HNC is growing rapidly since UBM Sinoexpo began cooperating with China Chamber by combining events in 2013. When HNC returned to Shanghai on 26-28 June 2014, it attracted almost all the leading companies in the industry, including Rousselot, DuPont, Tongrentang, Sirio, Gelita, Swanson, and Aurinda among others.

HNC 2014 was co-located with Fi Asia-China, Hi & Ni, the most important food ingredients show in China. The Starch Exhibition was newly introduced this year, and is the only international expo for starch in China. Expo FoodTec showcased food machinery, packaging, and technology innovations in the food and beverage industry. HNC is also held in conjunction with CPhI China, the world's largest ingredient tradeshow for the pharmaceutical industry. With over 3,000 cross-platform exhibitors, this was the highest quality exhibition in China focusing on the health food, functional supplements, nutraceuticals, food & beverage ingredients, and pharmaceutical industries. Together with the co-located shows, HNC provided participants not only a global gathering of the health industry, but an industry chain platform from ingredients to finished products.  

The 2014 edition was attended by 63,331 visitors, 10% more than the previous year, with international visitors from 131 countries. According to the post-event survey, 81% of international visitors thought the show was important to their business; 92% thought the visiting experience was great and 73% were sure of visiting the show again in 2015.

This year, the total exhibiting area for food shows exceeded 18,833 sqm, and featured 918 exhibitors with 112 international exhibitors from the USA, UK, Netherlands, Australia, Japan, Korea, and Brazil. The post-survey also showed that 80% of international exhibitors thought their exhibiting experience was excellent or good, 81% would recommend the show to their colleagues and 57% said the show met their expectations. Over half of the 2014 exhibitors have already rebooked their booths onsite for 2015, with 54% of the remainder likely to rebook.
