SIAL Paris, which will be held from 19 to 23 October 2024 at the Parc des Expositions, Paris Nord Villepinte, and which is this year celebrating its 60th anniversary, is the go-to event for all players in the food industry, the world over.

With just a few months to go, are the companies answering the call?
Which sectors are growing? Which countries will be most represented?
Let’s take a closer look at this upcoming edition, which promises to be exceptional.

SIAL PARIS 2024: ALL SYSTEMS ARE GO

The signs look very positive for SIAL Paris 2024, with around 90% of the exhibition space already taken up. The demand is such that the organisation is considering setting up a waiting list.

FOOD SECTORS: NEW PLAN, NEW DYNAMICS

One of the new features of this edition is the reorganization of the floor plan in favor of increased sectorization in response to the demand from buyers. The aim is to make it easier to get around and to enhance the visitor experience. This change has been generally welcomed by the partners, whose national pavilions, previously assembled in halls 1 to 4, will now be represented in each hall or thematic space (savory groceries, dairy products, etc.).
While dynamic marketing has benefited every sector, the meats universe is now almost fully booked (meat, poultry, cured meats), with plant-based alternatives and substitutes being grouped together in Hall 7, and testifying to a gain in momentum this year. Fine foods is also looking healthy. In Hall 8, legumes are making their entrance alongside cereals and fruit & vegetables.

SIAL PARIS, MELTING POT OF THE FOOD INDUSTRY

With 7,500 exhibitors from more than 130 countries expected and 75% international visitors, the next edition of SIAL Paris promises to be THE big event for food industry players worldwide.

TOP 12 COUNTRIES TO DATE

As for the most represented countries, France and Italy are neck and neck for pole position at this stage,
with Italy leading by a short head in terms of surface area, accounting for no less than 16,000 square meters of exhibition space.
China is back in force, having been absent from the previous edition due to the health context and the
continuing restrictions on travel abroad, with already more than 6,000 square meters of pavilions confirmed for Ukraine, although still impacted by the ongoing war situation, will be well and truly present at SIAL Paris this year. India’s influence is growing, with a very strong showing this year.
Africa will be prominently positioned and some of the exhibitors from the continent will be highlighted, their pavilions grouped together in a dedicated space in Hall 5a. The number of African countries represented at the upcoming edition is expected to be greater than in 2022. Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal have already confirmed their participation, with a hefty increase in the exhibition space earmarked for the latter. It should be noted that particular attention is devoted to the recruitment of exhibitors from the sub-Saharan regions.
Uganda, Libya and Iraq will participate in the show for the first time.
Finally, the USA and Spain are also ramping up for this anniversary edition.

SIAL PARIS 2024 UNDER THE HIGH PATRONAGE OF THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE

SIAL Paris is an exceptional showcase for France. With 285,000 professionals expected, a programme of
8,000 major buyers with 50 billion euros in purchasing power and 200 contacts made on average per
exhibitor, SIAL offers a unique opportunity to gain visibility and generate business opportunities on
the international scene. It is also an unmissable highlight of culinary diplomacy, with more than 100
official delegations welcomed.

This international scope, as well as its unique character as a business catalyst for French agri-food companies for export, has earned SIAL Paris the honor in 2024 to be placed under the high patronage of the President of France, a mark of interest on the part of the Head of State.
