The impressive turnout of visitors highlights the immense business potential of the event, with the total value of business deals expected to exceed THB 6.5 billion.

The event brought together tens of thousands of producers, researchers, distributors, and experts, facilitating business matching and extensive knowledge exchange. These interactions are set to drive innovation and expansion across the food and health sectors.
Moreover, the event’s success reflects a growing public awareness of holistic healthcare and a rising interest in food supplements, healthy diets, and health-promoting technologies—a positive trend that signals continued momentum for the industry.
Thai Innovations Make Their Mark on the Global Stage
Another key highlight of the event is the strong international interest in Thai food and supplement innovations derived from local ingredients. Thai businesses and researchers showcased a range of cutting-edge products that creatively fuse traditional knowledge with modern technology. Notable innovations include herbal extracts that support immune function and enhance brain performance—responding to the growing trend in preventive healthcare. In addition, alternative protein sources made from local plants and microorganisms attracted significant attention, catering to the rising demand among health-conscious and plant-based consumers.
The “6th Startup Innovation Challenge” served as a dynamic platform for the next generation of food innovators to present their creative ideas and products. University students impressed with inventive uses of local ingredients in food supplements and functional products.
Highlights included:
- “Siam Lanna Choco” – dark chocolate infused with Hung Lay curry powder and fermented bean powder, which won first prize in the Food and Beverage category.
- “Sa Kum Malt Brew” – a unique beverage made from barley grown in Samoeng District, Chiang Mai, which earned the first runner-up position.

These innovative products not only highlight Thailand’s abundant agricultural resources but also demonstrate the country’s exceptional creativity and potential to develop globally competitive innovations.
Success Signals Strong Growth in Thailand’s Food Industry
The success of Fi Asia 2025 and Vitafoods Asia 2025 clearly reflects the rapid advancement of Thailand’s food ingredients and dietary supplement sectors. This progress is driven by two key factors: a rising number of health-conscious consumers prioritizing preventive healthcare, and government policies aimed at positioning Thailand as a global future food hub.
According to an analysis by LH Bank, Thailand’s food supplement industry is projected to reach USD 179.9 billion by 2025. This aligns with similar forecasts from other reputable sources, including the Government Pharmaceutical Organization, which estimate the industry’s value to exceed THB 100 billion. Products that support immunity and overall health are among the fastest-growing categories.
Innovative, high-value food ingredients and extracts derived from local agricultural resources—such as herbs, vegetables, and fruits—are playing a key role in enhancing Thailand’s global competitiveness. The impressive showcase of these products at both events serves as compelling evidence of Thailand’s capability to earn international recognition and generate sustainable economic value.
