With the improvement of people’s living standards and the transformation of consumption structure, the focus on diseases has shifted from simple treatment to prevention in recent years. Plant extracts, as the core raw materials and products of biopharmaceuticals, have been widely applied in botanical drugs, food additives, functional foods, health foods, and cosmetics, etc. Biopharmaceuticals have developed rapidly in the 21st century. Being affected by such new medical modes, active and functional plant extract products have been much favored worldwide and with broad market potentials. China’s export of plant extracts is granted great development prospective. Meanwhile, the continual introduction of favorable and industry support policies in China enables the industry to keep rapid development; market size of the plant extract industry in China is expected to reach RMB 24.9 billion in 2018, and to exceed RMB 34.1 billion by 2022. The plant extract industry will become a new strategic key industry in China’s economy and social development in the future.
Under such background, the NEX China that has been accompanying China’s extract industry for 10 years since founding will take place again in Hall E4-E5 of Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) on June 18-20, 2019. In reliance upon the flourishing of the international natural extract industry and resource advantages of China in the animal and plant extract field, the exhibition will be expanded to 20,000m2. By then, Chinese and overseas quality extract enterprises will appear with their innovative products. Forums and workshops relating to natural raw materials will be held concurrently on site, to share information about global regulations and analyze hottest exported varieties and application trends of natural plant extracts, so as to provide multiple solutions for the plant extract enterprises during the progress of tranformation and innovation.
