HONG KONG, People’s Republic of China — With the global demand for organic products continues to rise, organic food and beverages market is forecasted to nearly triple by 2025 reaching $320.5 billion; an estimated 9.5% compounded annual growth rate in organic personal care market; all eyes are on Asia to fuel that surge.
From natural foods & beverages offering plant base alternatives and natural ingredients, to natural beauty products toting cruelty-free manufacturing and clean packaging, to the growing nutraceuticals market in response to natural and healthy lifestyles, Asia is projected to witness the fastest growth in the “organic movement” and account for over 12% of global revenue by 2025.
As proof, this month in Hong Kong from 29-31 August, the 5th edition of Natural & Organic Products Asia (NOPA) will host first time to debut products for the worldwide market alongside 1,000s of organic and natural products from international bestselling companies and manufacturers.
Established since 2014, Natural & Organic Products Asia has provided the leading platform for introducing one of the largest ranges of international natural and organic products throughout Asia.
This year’s edition will see the launch of several first time to debut products including Glowing Skin Luxury Body Oil for Dry Skin by U.K. based Atlantis Skincare loaded with vitamins, proteins, amino acids and antioxidants and Turmeric & Orange Coffee Body Scrub & Mask by Pure Purpose Cosmetic in U.K., an award-winning body scrub that helps with brightening the skin and improves skin circulation.
NOPA 2018 will also play host to the eat-like-a-Finn experience with featured foods from Finland — some of the purest foods grown in the world due to cultivation within the clean Arctic climates — including the healing properties of Finnish luminous oats.
“Try Swedish” is another experiential component at NOPA 2018 offering visitors a sample of the healthy Swedish lifestyle in “Swedish Fika” or the art of the Swedish coffee break.
