After 26 groundbreaking years in Geneva, Vitafoods Europe the world's leading nutraceutical event is gearing up for its most ambitious edition yet. With a bold move to its new home at Fira Barcelona, Gran Via, the 2025 edition promises to deliver an unforgettable experience for the global nutraceutical community. Scheduled to take place from May 20 to 22, 2025, the event will boast a record-breaking 75,000 square metres of exhibition space, offering unparalleled opportunities for connection, innovation, and exploration.
The decision to relocate from Geneva to Barcelona was not taken lightly. It follows extensive feedback from both visitors and exhibitors and aligns with the brand's exciting growth trajectory. Barcelona, known for its vibrant culture, accessibility, and world-class infrastructure, is poised to enhance the Vitafoods Europe experience. Fira Barcelona, Gran Via, offers 25% more exhibition space than previous editions, enabling the event to host its largest-ever assembly of nutraceutical professionals.
Bigger, Bolder, and Better: What's New in 2025
With 1,300 plus exhibitors and over 21,000 attendees expected, Vitafoods Europe 2025 is on track to be the most comprehensive edition in its history. Here are the highlights attendees can look forward to:
- Future of Nutrition Lunch & Learn: An exclusive event designed for in-depth discussions on emerging nutrition trends and technologies.

Whether it’s over coffee and churros or in formal panel discussions, networking has never been more accessible or more engaging.
Thematic Shift: Personalised Nutrition and Holistic Health
The overarching theme of Vitafoods Europe 2025 is clear: personalised nutrition and holistic health. As European consumers grow more informed and proactive about their health, the demand for functional foods, drinks, and dietary supplements continues to rise. This is not merely a trend it’s a transformative shift in how people think about wellness.
Particularly noteworthy is the expansion of the healthy ageing market. With over 21% of Europe’s population aged 65 or older (Eurostat, 2024), the sector is not just about serving older generations. Today, younger consumers are increasingly investing in preventive and longevity-focused nutrition solutions. This includes products aimed at enhancing immunity, improving skin health, boosting sports performance, and supporting cognitive well-being.
The Rise of Personalised Nutrition
One size no longer fits all in the world of nutrition. Factors such as age, gender, health conditions, and geographical location all influence an individual’s nutritional needs. Enter personalised nutrition, a game-changer that is set to redefine the industry.
With advances in AI, genetic testing, data integration, and microbiome analysis, the industry is now able to offer highly targeted and individualised solutions. Technologies like microbiome sequencing are enabling companies to understand unique gut health profiles and tailor products that cater specifically to digestive health, women’s reproductive wellness, and other specialised needs.
Expect to see leading-edge solutions and thought leadership around this trend throughout the event. From the Nutraceuticals Showcase Theatre to exhibitor booths, personalised nutrition will take centre stage.
What Sets This Edition Apart?
Beyond its physical scale and new location, what truly sets the 2025 edition apart is its experiential richness. The layout of Fira Barcelona encourages a seamless flow of interaction, learning, and deal-making. Attendees will find more intuitive navigation, better amenities, and greater opportunities to immerse themselves in innovation.
Furthermore, the event is structured to cater to a wide variety of stakeholders ingredient suppliers, finished product manufacturers, service providers, retailers, healthcare professionals, and researchers. Whether you are looking to discover the latest trends, source new products, or build lasting partnerships, Vitafoods Europe 2025 offers something invaluable.
