The leading industry event, the Organic and Natural Products Expo Africa, proudly sponsored by Standard Bank, is returning to Johannesburg for its fourth edition at the Sandton Convention Centre from 12 to 14 September 2024.

As Africa’s only dedicated event for the organic and natural products industry, this expo is the ultimate platform for traders and exhibitors to showcase their offerings to a diverse and influential audience. Designed as a hybrid event that caters to trade buyers while allowing retail sales directly to consumers, the expo features local and international manufacturers, producers, suppliers, importers, exporters and distributors.

A unique exhibition opportunity

“This is looking to be our biggest event yet and we are delighted to bring the expo for its fourth consecutive year to Johannesburg,” says Organic and Natural Product Expo Africa’s head of sponsorships and partnerships, Warren Hickinbotham. “Last year, over the three days we attracted over 4,000 visitors! The expo provides a unique opportunity for exhibitors to connect with top industry leaders, buyers, and decision-makers from across the continent and Europe.”

Bringing together suppliers, buyers and eco-enthusiasts to celebrate greener, healthier, and more sustainable living, the expo showcases product categories such as health, body & beauty, lifestyle, home, food & beverages, and baby & kids.

“It really gives unparalleled exposure and the chance to network and build lasting business relationships,” explains Hickinbotham. “With the added benefit of 365 days of visibility through our leading trade portal, this expo is a must for anyone serious about expanding their footprint in the organic and natural products market."

The expo has attracted significant interest from across Africa and will open doors to new business opportunities from countries including Botswana, Namibia, Madagascar and Malawi. Further interest from the German Chamber of Commerce promises to drive European traders to the event.

Surging growth in the natural and wellness sector

Both locally and internationally, the organic and natural industry continues to witness remarkable growth, driven by rising consumer awareness and demand for healthier, more sustainable products.

According to data provided by Spherical Insights, the global organic food and beverages market is expected to grow from $227-billion in 2023 to $786-billion by 2033, at a compound annual growth rate of over 13% for the forecast period 2023-2033. The billion dollar natural and organic personal care market is likewise expected to grow annually by approximately 10%.

Unparalleled visibility

More than just an expo, the event offers a memorable, informative and exciting experience - including exclusive networking opportunities, live demonstrations, product tastings, interactive sessions, engaging potential clients and showcasing products in real-time. Additionally, attendees will gain valuable industry insights, staying ahead of market trends and learning about the latest innovations in sustainability and wellness.

As a member of the International Organic Trade Fair Alliance, the Organic and Natural Products Expo Africa promises to attract key players in the market, fostering national, regional, and international trade opportunities, providing brands with unparalleled visibility and credibility.
