Top Global and China Food & Beverage Exhibition 2026

The food and beverage (F&B) industry’s global reach depends on strategic exhibition presence—2026 brings a lineup of unmissable trade shows that connect brands to buyers, distributors, and consumers worldwide. Whether you’re launching plant-based snacks in the USA, premium tea in Europe, or halal-certified products in the Middle East, exhibiting at top F&B events is your gateway to market expansion.

But success hinges on more than a great product: you need a booth that attracts attention, logistics that run smoothly, and localized support to navigate international markets. SODA Global Marketing specializes in F&B-focused solutions: customized booth design, China-manufactured quality construction, on-site photography, and multilingual interpreting. Below, we’ve curated 2026’s most influential F&B exhibitions—including SIAL’s key China editions in Shanghai and Shenzhen—and how our services help you maximize ROI.
