Trade fair swop 2017: new confectionery and bakery zone

At trade fair swop 2017, November 7-10 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), a large number of internationally advanced and innovative processing and packaging products for the confectionery and bakery sectors will be showcased. Several leading European confectionery processing and packaging machinery manufacturers have registered for the exhibition with the goal of supplying Chinese and Asian dessert industries with advanced products and high quality services – among them the German exhibitors Theegarten-Pactec, Chocotech, Winkler+Dünnebier, Hänsel Processing, LoeschPack and Hansa Mixer.

According to statistics, the total output value of China’s candies and chocolates from Jan-Oct 2016 reached approx. EUR 7.6 billion, with a cumulative growth rate of 17.64 %. In Switzerland, the annual chocolate consumption per capita is 10 kg, while only 40 to 70 g in China. This means, that China could become the world’s largest chocolate market as soon as its annual consumption per capita might reach 1 kg. Therefore, China has become the chocolate market with the highest development potential.
