DBEDT is excited to offer Hawai‘i companies the opportunity to showcase their innovative and high-quality products at one of the world’s largest and most influential trade shows for natural, organic, and healthy products. NPEW brings together over 90,000 industry professionals and more than 3,600 exhibitors from around the globe. This highly anticipated event is a key gathering for buyers, wholesalers, distributors, retailers, and manufacturers from diverse sectors of the natural products industry.

With the growing global demand for sustainable and health-conscious products, NPEW serves as an ideal platform for Hawai‘i companies to connect with key players, explore market trends, and expand their reach. The show is expected to draw a diverse audience of industry leaders, creating valuable opportunities for Hawai‘i’s businesses to build meaningful relationships and increase their presence in the rapidly evolving natural products market.

In cooperation with the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) and other local partners, DBEDT is committed to promoting Hawai‘i’s unique products and supporting the growth of Hawai‘i’s manufacturers in the international marketplace.

Natural Products Expo West is THE event to discover the product trends that will rule 2026-27 and the newest products designed to keep you healthy, fit and on your game.

The annual event hosts more than 90,000 attendees over the four-day period, with approximately 3,600 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. 

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.

Two reasons — making sales and spotting trends. The event is a picture of what to expect from the natural products industry in 2026-27 and an insight into what products will grace store shelves, be highlighted in magazines and on blogs.
