Expo West 2025: Where the $317 Billion Natural and Organic Industry Converges

The natural and organic products sector is set to experience another landmark gathering as preparations intensify for Expo West 2025, taking place at the Anaheim Convention Center from March 4-7. With industry projections showing a 5.1% growth outlook in consumer sales for 2024, this tri-coastal event represents a critical convergence point for over 60,000 professionals across the CPG and retail ecosystem.

Industry Giants and Emerging Brands Unite

A compelling roster of established leaders and innovative newcomers will showcase their latest offerings across the expo floor. Recognized names including Stonyfield, Chobani, LaCroix, Eden Foods, Natural Factors, and Gaia Herbs are confirmed participants, while rising brands such as BOND, TK, and BrainJuice will introduce their products to industry buyers and retail professionals. This mix of market veterans and disruptive startups creates an unparalleled networking environment.

Redesigned Schedule Optimizes Buyer and Exhibitor Experience

Recognizing feedback from previous events, organizers have implemented a restructured floor schedule to better serve diverse attendees. The Fresh Ideas Organic Marketplace—an exclusive one-day outdoor event combining the accessibility of a farmers market with professional trade show infrastructure—launches the festivities on Tuesday, March 4, featuring exclusively certified organic offerings.

The main exhibition floor operates with expanded hours: Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with abbreviated Friday hours from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. A new addition includes dedicated buyer-only sessions (9-10 a.m. on Thursday and Friday) reserved for retail buyers, hosted buyers, food service professionals, and health practitioners, streamlining business connections.

Curated Education Addressing Industry Imperatives

This year’s conference programming tackles the CPG sector’s most pressing challenges and opportunities. Sessions examine responsible innovation, organic farming practices, and regenerative agriculture—emerging as critical differentiators in the market. Attendees gain access to actionable business intelligence and trend analysis, including insights on non-alcoholic beverage growth, women’s health innovation, conscious beauty movements, and sustainable agricultural practices.

A new offering allows registrants to subscribe to the State of Natural Market Insights, delivering continuous industry intelligence and data throughout the year—moving beyond the traditional conference experience.
