Saudifood Show 2026 and Saudifood Manufacturing 2026, which concluded at Jeddah Superdome, attracted more than 28,000 industry professionals and over 1,000 exhibitors representing more than 95 countries. The events showcased more than 100,000 products, technologies, and solutions and hosted more than 12,000 business meetings.
Both events brought together, for the first time, all stages of the food and beverage industry value chain.
The two exhibitions were held concurrently at the same venue in strategic partnership with the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON), drawing broad participation from industry professionals, buyers, manufacturers, suppliers, and technology and solution providers. This provided opportunities to network and explore cooperation across food and beverage production, manufacturing, supply, and related services.
The exhibitions covered food and beverage products and ingredients, as well as manufacturing, processing and packaging technologies, automation, and technology solutions, reflecting the diversity and integration of the food industry value chain.
The events come as Saudi Arabia continues to develop its capabilities in food security, manufacturing, localization, and logistics services as part of the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030. The Kingdom's food and beverage sector continues to grow, marked by the expansion of local production, advances in manufacturing capabilities, and greater integration of supply chains, supporting the Kingdom's objectives of enhancing food security, localizing industries, and strengthening the sector's competitiveness.
Bringing together different stages of the value chain under one roof also highlighted the expanding scope for cooperation among producers, manufacturers, suppliers, buyers, and technology providers. It provided a platform to explore opportunities in trade, manufacturing, and innovation and further integrate Saudi Arabia's food and beverage ecosystem.
