Event overview
Nutri Ingredients Summit 2027 (NIS 2027) runs 14–15 April at Transamerica Expo Center in São Paulo, Brazil.
The two-day B2B event connects functional, natural and nutraceutical ingredient suppliers with food, beverage, supplement and pharmaceutical buyers.
The fair is open 10:00–19:00, while the NIS Conference runs 10:00–17:00 across four programme modules.
TL;DR
Meet ingredient suppliers with applications for functional foods, supplements and beverages, compare proteins, fibres, probiotics, botanicals and natural colours, and sit in on conference sessions on consumer demand, R&D and regulation. The compact two-day format suits product developers, procurement teams and marketers who need several supplier conversations in one trip.
Exhibiting puts ingredient portfolios in front of Brazilian food, beverage, supplement and pharmaceutical manufacturers in one hall. The 2026 edition drew 146 exhibitors and 8,600 visitors, and organisers said 70% of the 2027 floor was already sold. São Paulo is the region’s main R&D and procurement hub, so a stand supports both brand visibility and direct technical conversations.

Edition recap
NIS 2026 closed as the largest edition, with 146 exhibitors, more than 500 brands, 8,600 visitors and 600 conference attendees. Organisers reported 50% growth over 2025 and said 70% of the 2027 floor was already sold.

SourceImpact
NIS has moved from a regional ingredient meeting into the main Latin American platform for functional ingredients, with the 2026 edition drawing 8,600 visitors and 146 exhibitors. The announced partnership with IEG Brasil points to a more international exhibitor and visitor mix for 2027, which should widen the supplier shortlist for Brazilian product teams.
Audience quality
The audience is concentrated in food, beverage, supplement and pharmaceutical manufacturers, with job functions spanning R&D, marketing and purchasing. That mix gives exhibitors technical and commercial conversations in the same hall, though it is not an audited visitor profile and the exact 2027 mix will depend on registration.
Exhibitor outcomes
A stand is best justified by booked technical meetings rather than raw footfall. With 146 exhibitors in 2026 and 70% of the 2027 floor reported sold, competition for buyer attention will be high. Exhibitors should target 25–40 pre-booked meetings, qualify applications and follow up within two working days; no audited ROI or rebooking rate is published.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Brazil’s food, beverage and supplement manufacturers are reformulating around health, convenience and clean labels. NIS gives international ingredient suppliers a concentrated route to Brazilian R&D and procurement teams, while local buyers can compare applications, documentation and pricing in one two-day visit.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Health-led reformulation
Demand is shifting toward ingredients that support metabolic health, longevity, immunity and everyday performance, pushing formulators to combine vitamins, proteins, fibres and botanicals in mainstream products.
What it changes: Suppliers that can document a clear benefit and a stable application win listings faster than those selling commodity ingredients alone.
Natural and clean-label sourcing
Brazilian buyers are asking for natural colours, flavours and extracts, plant-based proteins and shorter ingredient lists that still deliver taste and shelf life.
What it changes: Traceability, origin stories and clean processing help ingredient brands differentiate in a crowded supplement and beverage market.
Convenience formats and personalisation
Capsules, sachets, powders and ready-to-drink formats are expanding, with brands segmenting products by age, activity level and health goal.
What it changes: Ingredient suppliers need application data for multiple delivery formats, not just a single food or supplement use case.
NIS anchors the Latin American ingredient calendar in April. Buyers and suppliers often pair it with a North American supply-side show and a European ingredients fair later in the year.
