Bakery China 2027 - international trade show for bakery and confectionery industry

Bakery China (China International Bakery Exhibition) is the annual bakery and confectionery trade fair in Shanghai. The organiser calls it Asia Pacific's leading event for the bakery and confectionery market. It has been held since 1997.

Not to be confused with China Bakery Exhibition in Guangzhou. In autumn the same organiser runs a smaller show, Bakery China Autumn, together with China Home Baking Show. Additives and ingredients for the whole food industry are shown at FIC in March at the same venue.
