BIOFACH 2025 gets underway with a diverse product range and sustainable inspiration for the food sector

Nuremberg is the venue today for the launch of BIOFACH, the World’s Leading Fair for Organic Food. From 11 to 14 February 2025, the sector will gather in the organic food metropolis to collectively tackle global challenges and build networks. The theme of this year’s accompanying congress is “Yes, we do! How to effect change in the organic food segment”. Some 2,300 exhibiting companies from 94 countries are set to showcase the diversity and innovative strength of the organic community. “BIOFACH 2025 will show how the sector is actively shaping change. In times of multiple crises, ecological transformation is more important than ever. With its comprehensive product display in nine exhibition halls and accompanying congress, BIOFACH sees itself as a guiding force that provides direction, dialogue, and leading-edge inspiration,” explains Dominik Dietz, Director of BIOFACH.

At BIOFACH 2025, stakeholders from the entire value chain will gain a comprehensive overview of the products and solutions available. In nine exhibition halls, they’ll discover a wide variety of products from international exhibitors who have travelled from all over the world but primarily from Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, France and Austria. Almost half of the participating companies have organic ingredients for food and natural cosmetics as well as vegetarian and vegan options in their product ranges. This development is also reflected in the BIOFACH Trends of 2025. The Trend Jury, made up of experts from the organic and sustainability sector, has chosen this year’s industry trends: “Next-level Plant-based” and “We, Myself and I”. The former describes the dynamic development of plant-based alternatives on the market, where innovative products that combine flavour and sustainability are setting new benchmarks. “We, Myself and I” reflects the conflict between idealism and hedonism. Price and variety are at the forefront of purchasing decisions, while sustainability has taken a back seat. Nevertheless, consumers still want transparency and environmental awareness from manufacturers.

This is also happening at the product level. The product trends in 2025 range from rebellious moments of (organic) indulgence (Rebel’s Choice) and plant-based taste sensations (Vegan en Vogue) to high-quality convenience products (Culinary Ease), eco-friendly beverages for every occasion (Cheers to Every Moment), and foodstuffs with added benefits (Functional Finesse).
