MOSCOW – From April 15 to 17, 2025, Neofoods participated with great success in the Global Ingredients Show (GIS), Russia's premier event for the food and beverage industry. Held at the expansive EXPOCENTRE Fairgrounds in Moscow, the show served as a critical meeting point for suppliers and buyers across the CIS region and beyond. Our involvement underscored our strategic commitment to this dynamic and evolving market.
The Neofoods booth became a hub of engagement, where we showcased our comprehensive portfolio of high-quality food additives and specialty ingredients. From sweeteners and preservatives to functional blends and texture modifiers, our offerings were met with keen interest by manufacturers, R&D specialists, and procurement leaders seeking reliable, performance-driven solutions.
Beyond showcasing products, GIS 2025 provided an invaluable platform for direct, face-to-face dialogue with our existing partners and a multitude of new contacts. These conversations yielded critical, on-the-ground insights that are essential for tailoring our services to regional needs.
Key Market Insights from the Show Floor
Our team actively engaged with attendees to identify the dominant trends driving formulation decisions in the region:
• Accelerated Demand for Clean-Label Solutions: The shift toward simpler, more natural ingredient declarations is unmistakable. Buyers across product categories are actively seeking alternatives to synthetic additives, prioritizing ingredients with clear, consumer-friendly origins and processing methods.
• Rising Interest in Functional & Fortified Foods: Health and wellness remain a powerful driver. Conversations frequently centered on ingredients that offer added benefits—such as plant-based proteins, dietary fibers, vitamin-mineral premixes, and gut-health supportive components—to meet growing consumer demand for nutritionally enhanced products.
• Strategic Importance of Reliable, Competitive Import Partners: With a significant portion of specialty food ingredients in the region being imported, the need for dependable, high-quality international suppliers is paramount. Neofoods' position as a manufacturer and global trader, offering a balance of consistent quality, technical expertise, and competitive value, resonated strongly with businesses looking to secure their supply chains and enhance product competitiveness.
