Health store owners, supermarket buyers, online retailers, wholesalers and distributors across the country can now book their tickets to the longest standing business event for natural, organic and sustainable products. Helping to facilitate trade across Europe for 29 years, Natural & Organic Products Expo (NOPEX) returns to Excel London on 12-13 May.
This year’s edition of NOPEX is raising the bar with new international pavilions, three dynamic start-up zones, and an exciting addition: The Artisan Food & Drink Expo. Attendees can also look forward to a range of inspiring talks across two theatres and exclusive ‘meet the buyer’ opportunities.
Event Director Georgina Baker shares her enthusiasm: “Our long-established event has helped harness the growth of natural, organic and sustainable products for over 29 years, and so we’re thrilled to announce registration is now open for 2025.
After receiving lots of feedback, NOPEX will take place on a Monday and Tuesday, making it even easier for visitors to meet suppliers, find new innovations, and listen to FREE keynotes across two ‘working’ business days. NOPEX is a truly unique show for our sector, helping to shape a healthier and more sustainable future for years to come. So, if you’re a retailer or buyer passionate about sourcing planet-positive brands, we can’t wait to see you on 12-13 May!”
This two-day event will showcase 1,000’s of products across three dynamic show areas:
Natural Health Expo
According to the Holland & Barrett’s Wellness Trends Report, the wellness market worldwide is predicted to be worth $8.4 trillion (showing a growth rate of 8.6% in 2024). And according to The Grocer, value among supplements’ 10 leading brands was up a total of £12.6m.
With the market’s buoyancy, the Natural Health Expo is the perfect destination to explore innovative vitamins, minerals, supplements, and other health and lifestyle products – from gummies to sprays, powders to drops. This area of the show will feature cutting-edge trends in hormone health, collagen, protein, fertility, botanicals, mushrooms, and more.
As well as health, the Natural Health Expo exhibitor lineup will include leading eco-living brands, featuring reusable products and natural household essentials.
Natural Beauty Expo
Soil Association’s 2024 Organic Beauty and Wellbeing Market Report stated that despite challenging market conditions, growth in organic personal care was up by 6%, with an overall market worth £136million in the UK. Similarly, Holland & Barrett reported ‘45% of UK consumers say they take a brand’s use of natural ingredients into consideration’ when shopping.
The Natural Beauty Expo is the place to explore natural, organic, sustainable, and ethical beauty – across skincare, haircare, makeup, and personal care products. From minimalist skincare to climate-conscious beauty, organic formulations to reusable beauty tools; this is a must-attend for retailers and beauty professionals eager to meet the growing demands of their eco-conscious customers.
Natural Food Expo (co-located with The Artisan Food & Drink Expo)
The organic market has delivered its 12th year of growth, with 2% in 2023 ending the year at £3.2 billion (Soil Association). Shoppers are also buying free-from products ‘on average over 15 times per year’ according to Kantar, an increase year on year of 2.4%, according to The Grocer. Therefore, both are vital markets for retailers to consider within food and drink.
The Natural Food Expo will feature the very best certified organic, natural and biodynamic products including snacks, confectionery, free-from, functional foods, plant-based and speciality food and drink. Whilst the new Artisan Food and Drink Expo will present a range of exciting artisanal producers; offering a dedicated platform for brands that champion provenance, high-quality ingredients, and unique curations.
Inspiration overload
From high-calibre experts to innovative CEOs, the free NOPEX seminar programme will provide visitors with tools and insights to take back to their businesses. The extensive programme – which will take place across two days – will dive into the hottest trends and opportunities in the retail sector. From ecommerce to social media, trendspotting to footfall – there’s a whole raft of inspiring talks to choose from across two theatres.
Previous speakers have included a broad range of retail experts including ‘The Queen of Shops’ Mary Portas; Mike Barry, Former Director of Sustainable Business at Marks & Spencer; Oliver Chadwyck-Healey, Branded Innovation Manager at Waitrose; Rachel Chatterton, Director of Product (NPD for Food and Non Food) at Holland & Barrett; Millie Kendall OBE, CEO of The British Beauty Council; Renée Elliott, Founder of Planet Organic, and many more.
