SupplySide Global 2025 concluded last week, after bringing in participants from more than 70 countries for a week of new connections and advances in product concepts, development, and manufacturing in hot areas such as longevity, sports nutrition, personal care, and general health and wellness.

Product development teams, sourcing professionals, regulatory experts, marketers, and C-suite executives discovered breakthrough ingredients and emerging technologies. Attendees were from major companies such as Nature’s Way, GNC, Nestlé Health Science, Unilever, PepsiCo, Walmart, The Coca-Cola Company, Procter & Gamble, L’Oréal, Anheuser-Busch, and more.

More than 1,600 exhibiting companies were in attendance, including ingredient suppliers, contract manufacturers, finished product brands, packaging experts, laboratory services, and other specialists. The expo hall was the largest to date, with the addition of a Level 2 exhibition space, which housed special areas like the Networking Pub, Bark Park, and Supplement Solutions Stage.

The program included more than 130 hours of expert-led content to address pressing opportunities and challenges facing the industry, along with market and trend forecasting. Some topics included artificial intelligence applications in product development, natural coloring solutions, GLP-1 innovations, and global trade and supply chain considerations.

The Sustainable Packaging Solutions Showcase addressed a growing focus on environmental responsibility, featuring companies specializing in material innovation and packaging design, sparking conversations about balancing product integrity and environmental impact.

Live demonstrations and expert panels were featured at the Innovation Stage, Future of Food & Beverage Stage, and Supplement Solutions Stage to provide attendees with insights into formulation trends, regulatory developments, and new market opportunities.

“As consumer demands evolve alongside a shifting regulatory landscape, companies look to SupplySide Global for the insights and strategic connections that keep their businesses current and competitive,” said Danica Cullins, executive vice president of health and nutrition at Informa Markets. “This year’s event proves once again why SupplySide Global remains indispensable to success, it is where breakthrough innovations meet market opportunities and where the relationships that drive our industry are forged.”
