World Seafood Shanghai 2025 — China’s Premier Platform for the Global Seafood Industry

2,000+ exhibitors, 160,000 sqm, 65,000+ professional buyers and visitors from 100+ countries and regions

World Seafood Shanghai 2025 will host industry leaders from every part of the seafood economy. It will cover more than 160,000 square meters of exhibition space, organized into zones for fresh seafood, frozen seafood, value-added seafood, processed marine products, aquaculture solutions, fishing vessels and equipment, packaging, and cold chain technologies. With rising demand for seafood among Chinese consumers and an increasing emphasis on sustainability, traceability, and high-quality sourcing, this expo plays a pivotal role in market development. Professional buyers include importers, traders, seafood processors, chain restaurants, supermarket groups, e-commerce platforms, and institutional buyers from foodservice and hospitality sectors. In addition to booths and product displays, the event features seafood tasting sessions, business matchmaking services, aquaculture and marine technology forums, and a global procurement conference that connects domestic suppliers with foreign importers. With visitors expected from Japan, Korea, Russia, Vietnam, Norway, Chile, Canada, and the U.S., this is a major global seafood hub.

Fresh and frozen seafood, aquaculture technology, value-added processing, sustainable fishing, logistics, and packaging

The exhibition covers a full array of seafood product categories and related supply chain services. Exhibits include fresh and live seafood such as salmon, tuna, cod, mackerel, eel, shrimp, crab, lobster, scallops, and oysters. Frozen options include whole fish, fillets, shellfish, processed seafood (breaded, marinated, smoked), and ready-to-eat meals. A dedicated aquaculture zone showcases high-tech farming systems, feed technologies, disease prevention, genetic breeding, and water quality monitoring solutions. Sustainability is a strong focus in 2025 — exhibitors will highlight certified seafood (MSC, ASC), traceability platforms, RFID tracking, and green fishing technologies. The cold chain section features blast freezers, insulated transport containers, IoT monitoring tools, and rapid logistics solutions. Also on display: processing equipment, slicing and deboning machines, vacuum packers, X-ray inspection systems, and customized packaging options for export markets. Special attention is given to premium seafood for high-end hospitality and export — including caviar, bluefin tuna, Chilean sea bass, and Norwegian salmon. In addition, visitors will find exhibitors promoting plant-based seafood alternatives and algae-based products in response to growing health and sustainability trends.

Visitors represent a diverse range of professional profiles: purchasing managers from chain supermarkets, heads of seafood procurement at hotel groups, menu developers for restaurant franchises, foodservice distributors, logistics and cold chain providers, and investors exploring the seafood value chain. International pavilions from Norway, Japan, Vietnam, and Ecuador will feature regional seafood brands and national export promotion boards.
