On August 26, 2026, the three-day WPE&WHPE 2026 World Expo of Natural and Healthy Ingredients (Xi'an Natural Expo) concluded at the Xi'an International Convention and Exhibition Center. As one of the core sections of this expo, the Plant Extracts Exhibition Area maintained a strong atmosphere of industry exchange on the closing day, following the opening day's promotion and the second day's targeted matchmaking. Exhibitors, buyers, and industry practitioners from all over the country continued to linger and negotiate, exploring cooperation opportunities and exchanging cutting-edge technologies during the final stage, bringing this professional plant extracts industry exhibition in Xi'an to a successful close.
The expo officially opened on August 24, bringing together more than 700 high-quality exhibitors from across the country. Focusing on the entire industry chain of plant extracts, natural medicinal raw materials, functional food ingredients, and natural cosmetic ingredients, it leveraged Xi'an's advantages as a western industrial hub to build a leading platform in Northwest China for natural raw material production and sales matchmaking, technology exchange, and innovation display. Compared to the concentrated opening and flurry of signings on the first two days, the third day of the exhibition was more measured and pragmatic. The hype subsided, focusing instead on precise industry matchmaking and in-depth technical discussions. Exhibitors prioritized key tasks such as final payment negotiations, solidifying long-term cooperation intentions, and refining technical solutions.
A visit to the plant extract exhibition area revealed that this year's exhibits covered all categories and sub-sectors, including fruit and vegetable extracts, herbal functional extracts, medicinal and edible raw materials, plant essential oils, natural pigments, and antioxidant extracts, widely applicable to diverse scenarios such as health supplements, functional foods, cosmetics, pet food, and pharmaceutical excipients. Several leading plant extract companies from Shaanxi and other provinces showcased their latest core technologies, including low-temperature extraction, supercritical purification, precise component separation, and green energy-saving extraction, addressing industry pain points such as insufficient purity, high losses, and unstable components in the traditional plant extract industry. Many companies showcased their latest R&D products, including highly active plant polyphenols, probiotic compound plant extracts, and standardized herbal extracts, emphasizing "clean labels, high-efficiency functions, and green production," precisely catering to the evolving needs of the current health consumer market.
The closing day of the exhibition featured more targeted exchanges. Attendees were predominantly industry veterans, including food and health product manufacturers, cosmetics brand R&D and procurement personnel, pharmaceutical raw material buyers, cross-border traders, and researchers. Unlike the broad browsing on the first day, attendees focused on connecting with raw material products suitable for their own supply chains, seeking detailed information on key issues such as raw material testing standards, mass production capacity, customized extraction solutions, and supply chain delivery cycles. Staff from several participating companies stated that this Xi'an exhibition precisely targeted the unique characteristics of the western market, leveraging the region's abundant medicinal herbs and agricultural and forestry plant resources to attract numerous buyers from Northwest and Southwest China. The number of potential clients and initial cooperation orders accumulated over the three days exceeded expectations. On the closing day, many previously contacted potential clients completed on-site verification and confirmed cooperation, demonstrating significant conversion rates.
In addition to exhibits and business matchmaking, the industry forums accompanying the exhibition continued on the final day. Industry experts shared their insights on hot topics such as compliance standards for plant extracts in 2026, cross-industry applications of natural raw materials, green and low-carbon production technologies, and the large-scale development of the plant extract industry in western China. Combining current market regulatory policies and consumer trends, they analyzed the core path for the plant extract industry to transform from "extensive production" to "refined, standardized, and functional" production, providing practical industry references for western plant extract companies to transform and upgrade, and expand market channels. Simultaneously, the event focused on the cross-industry integration trend of "pharmaceuticals + cosmetics + functional foods," exploring innovative directions for the multi-scenario application of plant extracts, breaking down industry segmentation barriers, and promoting the comprehensive development of natural raw materials.
Throughout the three-day exhibition, the plant extract exhibition area of this year's Xi'an Natural Expo not only showcased the new technologies, new products, and new achievements of the domestic plant extract industry, but also fully activated the advantages of western China's natural plant resources, opening up channels for supply and demand matching between the eastern and western plant extract industries. Leveraging Xi'an's geographical and industrial advantages, the exhibition effectively brought together production, R&D, market, and trade resources from across the national plant extract industry, providing an efficient platform for small and medium-sized plant extract enterprises to expand their sales channels, leading enterprises to establish a presence in the western market, and industry practitioners to connect with cutting-edge technologies.
With the successful conclusion of the exhibition on the 26th, this Xi'an Plant Extract Industry Exhibition achieved multiple values: product display, technical exchange, business matchmaking, and industry empowerment. Industry insiders stated that the successful holding of this exhibition further solidified Xi'an's position as a core hub for the exchange of natural plant extracts in western China. Going forward, they will continue to leverage the platform effect of the exhibition to promote the standardization, branding, and internationalization of the western plant extract industry, contributing to the high-quality upgrading of the domestic natural health raw material industry.
