Seize the new trend in diabetes management and health! The Guangzhou International Low-GI Food Exhibition will launch alongside the Food2China Expo in September.
In the era of nationwide sugar control, low-GI products have long transcended their label as "exclusive to diabetics" and have become a essential category catering to diverse groups—including young individuals seeking weight loss, pregnant women, and middle-aged/elderly health-conscious consumers. Industry data projections indicate that China's low-GI food market will exceed 250 billion yuan by 2026, with an annual growth rate consistently surpassing 10%. Sales of related online categories have surged 60-fold over two years, while supermarkets, e-commerce platforms, and restaurants have all established dedicated low-GI sections, fully unleashing the sector's potential benefits.
To strengthen the supply chain for low-GI foods,Food2China Expo has launched a dedicated event—the Guangzhou International Low-GI Food Exhibition—to be held from September 10 to 12,2026, in Zone B of the Canton Fair Complex. Leveraging F2C China Food Expo®'s network of hundreds of thousands of global professional buyers and bringing together brands across the entire industry chain, this exhibition aims to establish a premier trade platform for low-GI foods in South China, enabling companies to tap into the vast health market worth hundreds of billions of yuan.

Targeted empowerment in specialized segments – saying goodbye to inefficient, low-efficiency exhibition participation driven by broad-based traffic.
The Guangzhou International Low-GI Food Exhibition highlights three core strengths: vertical segmentation, precise focus, and comprehensive empowerment, creating a distinctive trade ecosystem tailored to this niche market. Leveraging the extensive resources accumulated by Food2China Expo over more than a decade of experience in South China's food industry, and positioned within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area—the nation's forefront for healthy consumption—it capitalizes on the region's strong consumer spending power and high health awareness to precisely serve the national market while connecting with global trade resources.
The exhibition departs from the conventional comprehensive exposure model, focusing instead on targeted efforts within the specific low-GI food segment to achieve optimal alignment among exhibitors, products, buyers, and resources. This approach fundamentally addresses common challenges in traditional corporate participation—excessive visitor traffic, insufficient targeting precision, difficult negotiation processes, and low conversion rates. By specifically inviting key procurement groups—including nationwide chain supermarkets, fresh food convenience stores, live-streaming e-commerce platforms, community group-buying services, health lifestyle centers, premium catering supply chains, food distributors, agents, and import-export traders—the event ensures each visit delivers efficient customer acquisition, precise business matching, and effective transactions. This strategy empowers enterprises to rapidly establish a strong presence in South China's core market and capitalize on the national opportunities within the low-GI industry.
Covering the entire low-GI product chain, we establish a one-stop trading platform.
This exhibition covers the entire supply chain of low-GI foods, showcasing innovative industry products, cutting-edge production technologies, high-quality raw materials and excipients, as well as supporting services. It creates a one-stop platform for exhibition, negotiation, trading, and collaboration, comprehensively addressing market procurement needs and consumer demands.
The exhibition scope includes: low-GI rice, flour and whole grains; meal replacement staples and coarse grain products; low-GI snacks, sugar-free candies, low-sugar dried snacks, and light snack foods; sugar-free tea beverages, low-calorie functional drinks, and sugar-controlled liquid foods; low-GI baked goods and prepackaged light meals; functional sugar-controlled diets and low-GI foods for special populations; specialized low-GI ingredients, additives, and components; as well as comprehensive industry-chain support services including low-GI testing and certification, brand compliance consulting, and technology R&D services.
Exclusive Talent Forum: Addressing Challenges in Industrial Development
To help enterprises overcome development bottlenecks in product R&D, process optimization, compliance management, and market promotion, the exhibition will concurrently host the [2026 Low-GI Healthy Food Innovation Development Forum], jointly organized by the Guangdong Import Food Association, Worldex China Exhibitions Co., Ltd., FTA, Shiyan Classroom, Shiyanhui Foodix, and 21Food. This event serves as a high-end industry summit that integrates technical exchange, intellectual dialogue, and resource networking. The forum will feature distinguished experts from the industry, university researchers, founders of leading brands, senior technical professionals, and channel strategists.
The event featured in-depth discussions on key topics including innovation in low-GI product formulations, production process optimization, interpretation of industry compliance standards, market launch of new products, brand marketing strategies, and distribution channel planning. It also released annual insights into development trends, market data, and regulatory updates for the low-GI food sector, providing exhibitors with professional technical guidance, compliance solutions, and innovative market strategies to help them accurately grasp industry dynamics and overcome developmental challenges.
The low-GI sector is brimming with growth potential and demand—what's lacking is simply the right timing to enter.
