Thailand is bolstering its position as a regional hub for the health and nutrition industry as growing demand for preventive healthcare, healthy aging, and longevity creates new market opportunities. Vitafoods Asia 2026 is being held from September 2 to 4 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok, featuring more than 800 exhibitors from 40 countries, over 10 international pavilions, and more than 16,000 visitors.
