Asia continues to be an important market for the global nutraceutical, dietary supplement, pharmaceutical, and natural ingredients industries.
From ingredient sourcing and formulation development to manufacturing and supply-chain partnerships, industry events provide an important opportunity for companies to understand market demand and connect with potential partners.
In September 2026, two major industry events are bringing together companies across the nutrition, pharmaceutical, and ingredient supply chains:
- Vitafoods Asia 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand
- CPHI & PMEC Shenzhen 2026 in Shenzhen, China
JHD GLOBAL is participating in both events as part of its ongoing engagement with international customers and industry partners.
The company participated in Vitafoods Asia 2026 from September 2–4 at Booth H6-J38 and will next meet customers and partners at CPHI & PMEC Shenzhen from September 16–18 at Booth 7F35.
For companies sourcing botanical extracts, herbal extracts, nutraceutical ingredients, and dietary supplement raw materials, these events provide an opportunity to explore new ingredient solutions and discuss potential supply partnerships.
Vitafoods Asia 2026: Connecting with Asia’s Nutraceutical Market
Vitafoods Asia 2026 took place from September 2–4, 2026, in Bangkok, Thailand.
The official Vitafoods event information confirms Bangkok as the host city and positions the event around professionals and companies across the nutraceutical industry.

Location: Bangkok, Thailand
Date: September 2–4, 2026
Booth: H6-J38
For JHD GLOBAL, participating in Vitafoods Asia is not simply about exhibiting products.
It is an opportunity to understand what supplement brands, ingredient distributors, formulators, and manufacturers are currently looking for in the Asian market.
Key discussions around the nutraceutical supply chain increasingly involve:
- Botanical extracts
- Herbal ingredients
- Functional ingredients
- Dietary supplement raw materials
- Standardized extracts
- Custom ingredient solutions
- Reliable international supply
These conversations provide valuable insight into how ingredient requirements are evolving across different markets.
Why Vitafoods Asia Matters for Nutraceutical Ingredient Suppliers
The Asian nutraceutical market is becoming increasingly important for ingredient companies.
Brands are looking for ingredients that can offer not only attractive product positioning, but also:
- Consistent quality
- Reliable supply
- Technical documentation
- Regulatory support
- Flexible specifications
- Competitive commercial terms
This is particularly relevant for botanical ingredients.
Unlike many synthetic compounds, botanical ingredients can be affected by:
- Botanical origin
- Plant part
- Harvest conditions
- Extraction technology
- Standardization
- Storage
- Supply-chain management
As a result, choosing the right botanical extract supplier is becoming an increasingly important part of product development.

From Ingredients to Solutions: What Buyers Are Looking For
One important trend in the ingredient industry is the shift from simple ingredient purchasing toward solution-based cooperation.
A buyer may no longer simply ask:
“Do you have Ashwagandha Extract?”
Instead, the discussion may involve:
- Which plant part is used?
- What is the extraction ratio?
- What is the withanolide specification?
- Which testing methods are available?
- What is the MOQ?
- Can the specification be customized?
- Can the supplier support long-term bulk orders?
This is why ingredient suppliers need to provide more than a product catalog.
They need to demonstrate:
Ingredient + Manufacturing + Quality Control + Supply Capability + Technical Support
What Comes Next: CPHI & PMEC Shenzhen 2026
Following Vitafoods Asia, JHD GLOBAL will continue its September exhibition schedule at CPHI & PMEC Shenzhen 2026.
CPHI & PMEC Shenzhen 2026 will take place from September 16–18, 2026, at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center (SZCEC).
The official CPHI website describes the Shenzhen event as a platform connecting pharmaceutical, biotech, R&D, manufacturing, and technology companies, with a particular focus on the Asia-Pacific market.

The event also features a dedicated Natural Products area focused on natural ingredients and supply-chain opportunities across the Greater Bay Area and Southeast Asia.
Why CPHI Shenzhen Is Relevant to Natural and Botanical Ingredients
Although CPHI is strongly associated with the pharmaceutical industry, its ingredient ecosystem extends into areas that overlap with the nutraceutical and natural ingredients sectors.
This makes the event particularly interesting for companies working across:
- Botanical extracts
- Herbal ingredients
- Natural active ingredients
- Pharmaceutical ingredients
- Functional ingredients
- Beauty and cosmetic ingredients
The official CPHI Shenzhen platform describes the event as a gateway to Asia-Pacific markets and highlights its role in connecting pharmaceutical and technology companies.

From Thailand to Shenzhen: Building Stronger Ingredient Connections
The two September exhibitions represent two complementary sides of the Asian ingredient market.
Vitafoods Asia
Focuses strongly on:
Nutrition → Nutraceuticals → Dietary Supplements → Functional Ingredients
CPHI Shenzhen
Provides broader exposure across:
Pharmaceuticals → Ingredients → R&D → Manufacturing → Natural Products
For an ingredient supplier such as JHD GLOBAL, participating in both events creates opportunities to engage with different segments of the supply chain.
More importantly, face-to-face conversations can reveal market needs that are difficult to understand through online inquiries alone.
What Global Buyers Should Consider When Choosing an Ingredient Supplier
