SupplySide Global 2026: What We Saw on the Floor, and What Comes Next

We counted the SupplySide Global 2026 show floor: about 1,600 exhibitors, more than half of them ingredient suppliers, led by botanicals and a fast-growing Asian supply base. Download our free recap.

SupplySide Global 2026 (Las Vegas, October 28–30) was a supplier's show. Our team came home with 158 new connections from 128 companies, and we counted the floor to see who was there.

A few things stood out:

• More than half of exhibitors were ingredient suppliers. By our count, 56% of roughly 1,600 exhibiting companies.
• Functional ingredients led the floor. Botanicals were the largest category, followed by vitamins and minerals, delivery systems, proteins and probiotics.
• The supply base is global. Chinese ingredient exhibitors outnumbered US ones, and more than half of botanical suppliers came from China or India.

The full recap has the charts, what this means for brands, and an introduction to SKS Spark Reserve, the members' network we opened that week to connect brands with qualified suppliers. Apply for a seat.
