3,000+ exhibitors, 150,000 sqm of floor space, over 100,000 professional visitors from 30+ countries

SIFCE 2025 will serve as the leading business platform for frozen and chilled food in China, connecting suppliers with a wide range of professional buyers. Attendees will include food processors, importers, restaurant chains, convenience store chains, hypermarkets, wholesale markets, and e-commerce platforms. With growing consumer demand for convenience, freshness, and safety, the frozen and chilled food sector in China has seen exponential growth — and SIFCE sits at the center of this momentum. The exhibition’s scope has expanded in 2025 to include not only raw ingredients, but also semi-finished products, ready meals, and value-added food solutions. Key visitor services include multilingual onsite interpreters, customized matchmaking, express procurement channels, and guided tours for international buyers. Numerous themed forums, cold chain tech summits, food safety seminars, and packaging innovation showcases are also scheduled.

Frozen food, chilled meat and seafood, prepared meals, fruits and vegetables, cold chain logistics and packaging

The event’s core themes include a wide variety of product categories: frozen meats and poultry, chilled seafood, pre-cooked and ready-to-eat meals, frozen vegetables and fruits, and dairy-based frozen products. Exhibitors will present cutting-edge solutions in cold chain logistics, including energy-efficient freezers, smart temperature tracking devices, mobile cold storage containers, and last-mile delivery systems optimized for frozen cargo. The show will feature industry leaders showcasing solutions for shelf-life extension, natural freezing techniques, and low-temperature preservation. Special zones will highlight international brands, regional specialties, clean-label and low-sodium options, and pre-portioned meals for institutional catering. Additionally, new areas have been added for plant-based frozen alternatives, sustainable packaging, and private label sourcing for retailers. Food safety is a cross-cutting theme, with displays on traceability, QR-based cold chain tracking, and HACCP/ISO-certified facilities. The expo also integrates live demo kitchens, where chefs and buyers can experience taste, texture, and cookability in real-time.
