With all exhibition space now sold for the biggest ever edition of Natural & Organic Products Europe trade show, organiser Diversified Communications UK has released its first preview of new products being showcased on 17-18 April at ExCeL London.
Whether it's down to changes in lifestyle, personal ethics, health or environmental concerns, the natural and organic market has certainly benefited from increasing consumer awareness about the provenance, sustainability and functional benefits of the products and ingredients that they use and consume. And it's this rising demand for more natural and clean label products that has kept Natural & Organic Products Europe well 'ahead of the curve' since it first launched in 1997. This year's show – its 20th edition – will feature an unprecedented 650 exhibiting companies from over 50 countries. Visitor pre-registrations are also tracking ahead, with over 10,000 attendees expected over two days.
One of the show's biggest selling points is its comprehensive array of new products across all natural and organic categories (including food, drink, health, nutrition, beauty, personal care, and eco-living). From new start-ups with compelling origin stories to established brand pioneers championing new formulations – hundreds of new launches are timed specifically to coincide with the event.
