APAS Show Brazil 2023

APAS Show Brazil 2023

Do not miss the chance to join the largest food and beverages fair of the Americas and meet with key stakeholders of the industry.

Also known for being the largest supermarket event in the world, during four days, APAS Show offers trade visitors a great platform for new and existing business developments.

The Brazilian food and beverage industry is one of the most relevant for the country, it represents 10.6% of GDP and generates 1.72 million formal and informal jobs. Brazil is the second largest exporter of industrialized food in the world, selling to more than 190 countries. The local market is well developed and count with the presence of large multinational companies with consolidated manufacturing facilities. This shows a very high level of internal competition with many players and with strong companies. 

Although it might seem as a difficult market, Brazil still has plenty of opportunities for companies that would like to work in niche markets that demand top-premium quality products. This is a chance that Swiss SMEs have when approaching the Brazilian market. As the local conditions impose that the product arrives at the market with high prices, the way to differentiate from competitors is highlighting unique product’s characteristics that no other local or foreign supplier can offer. The Swiss brand helps in this perception among local consumers, as the country is commonly associated to premium, superior and unique products.

APAS SHOW will take place in São Paulo, bringing together professionals from the supermarket sector and the main food and beverages companies in Brazil. More than a fair, APAS SHOW is a true source of business through the relationship with exhibitors, generation of connections and the various lectures given by top professionals in the supermarket sector.
