Super Market Trade Show 2008 (Feb. 20~22, 2008)
The year's first international food and beverage trade show in Japan
The Japanese retail market is one of the largest in the world, espcially the food market, which is said to be as large as $430 billion. There're 1,700 companies with 20,000 chain stores exist in Japan. Strong competition compels Japanese supermarkets to explore new products in order to distinguish themselves from competitions. Given the size of Japanese supermarkets, the Super Market Trade Show is the ideal place for finding new overseas products sources. Not only the giants but also a great number of mid-sized chains are potential customers of overseas exhibitors.
The earlier start of the event in 2008 shows how flexibly the fair organizer acts in response to industry demands, reflecting the nature of the organizer as the association of visitors' industries.1,200 exhibitors will meet with 75,000 visitors at 2008! The main exhibits are foods and beverages all over the world.
