SIAL Vietnam 2026

Date: November 11–14, 2026
Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Exhibitors: the first exhibition under the SIAL brand in Vietnam, co-located with Vietnam Food Expo
Visitors: over 20,000 industry professionals

Specialization and uniqueness: a new regional platform of the global SIAL network in Southeast Asia and the first international trade show of this caliber to provide structured access to the Vietnamese food market. The organizer is Comexposium — owner of the SIAL brand, uniting 12 leading food trade shows across four continents and annually gathering 700,000 industry professionals from 205 countries. The show is held in co-location format with Vietnam Food Expo — the country's flagship event organized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam, ensuring institutional recognition and access to an established local audience from day one.

The thematic coverage follows the SIAL network standard and encompasses the full industry value chain: processed food products, fresh and frozen produce, beverages, ingredients, retail solutions and HoReCa. The parallel programme includes B2B matchmaking sessions, industry conferences and innovation presentations in the SIAL Innovation format.

The defining feature of the show lies in the precision of its market positioning. Vietnam is the most dynamic consumer market in Southeast Asia, with a population rapidly transitioning to modern consumption formats: supermarkets are displacing traditional markets, and demand for imported products with clear certification and transparent composition grows year on year. This is precisely where buyers from modern retail chains, importers and distributors are concentrated — actively seeking new suppliers — and SIAL Vietnam is the only platform where all of them are gathered in one place with a structured business programme and meeting arrangement tools.

For a food producer, SIAL Vietnam is the entry point into the market via the shortest possible route: three days of negotiations with buyers who have already arrived with the intention of finding a new supplier replace months of independent work searching for and establishing contacts in an unfamiliar market.
