Prediction of the Macro Trends for Natural, Organic and Healthy Products
(March 15, 2017, Los Angeles, CA) The 37th annual Natural Products Expo West & Engredea, the world's largest natural, organic and healthy products event, experienced another record-setting year playing host to more than 80,000 attendees including industry pioneers and a new generation of innovators shaping the future of healthy products. The show, produced by New Hope Network, was held March 9-13 2017 at the Anaheim Convention Center and brought together 3,100 exhibiting companies, including more than 500 first-time exhibitors.
“We
love the energy and excitement at Natural Products Expo West. This is
the perfect event to launch a product because the key decision makers
are in the same place. We’ve secured several placements for our new
Sticky Rice Chips this week and are thrilled about the momentum coming
out of the show,” said Vincent Kitirattragarn, Founder and CEO of Dang Foods.
New Hope
Network again expanded the event’s footprint to encompass the entire
Anaheim Convention Center campus expanding exhibits into the Anaheim
Marriott Hotel for the first time. Producers look forward to hosting
exhibits in the newly expanded North Hall at the 2018 event.
“Each
year, longtime attendees band together with first-timers to push the
natural products industry to new heights. We quickly see its impact as
groundbreaking new healthy products show up on store shelves across the
country.” said Adam Andersen, Managing Director, New Hope Network.
