Natural Products Expo West Trade Show

What is Expo West?

Natural Products Expo West is THE event to discover the product trends that will rule 2025-26 and the newest products designed to keep you healthy, fit and on your game.

The annual event hosts more than 85,000 attendees over the four-day period, with approximately 3,500 exhibiting companies. The other component of the event is the education program filled with lectures delivered by industry greats covering everything from issues facing the natural products industry, consumer purchasing habits, climate change tools, product trends and innovation, farming and agriculture and so much more. 

Who Attends?

Everyone from the media to bloggers to ingredient suppliers and retailers attend the event looking for new products, connecting with company owners and discovering brand spanking new companies looking to shape the future of healthy products. These young companies attend the event hoping to create product buzz and consumer demand that leads to much-needed distribution deals and product placement in stores.

Exhibitors are trying to keep up with ever-changing consumer demand by showcasing new products, introducing updated packaging and educating consumers.

Why Attend?

Two reasons — making sales and spotting trends. The event is a picture of what to expect from the natural products industry in 2025-26 and an insight into what products will grace store shelves, be highlighted in magazines and on blogs.

The application for 2024 Natural Products Expo West has closed. Please check back later for the 2025 program details.
