After a successful year in Hong Kong in 2024, Vinexposium is bringing Vinexpo Asia back to Singapore in 2025, delivering a more dynamic and robust trade show than ever before.
The premier event for wine and spirits professionals will be held at Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands from 27-29 May, returning to the city for the first time since its debut in 2023, where Singapore was cemented as a gateway to the region’s liquor market.
Rodolphe Lameyse, CEO of Vinexposium said this year’s event promises to provide a diverse program designed to meet the challenges facing the industry today.
“The global wine and spirits industry faces a pivotal geo-economic challenge with declining consumption worldwide. In this context, seizing commercial opportunities is imperative. Southeast Asia, with Singapore as its key business hub, is where growth happens. Vinexpo Asia in May will be the prime event for industry leaders to connect and thrive in this dynamic region,” he said.
With around 1,100 exhibitors from over 20 countries this year’s event will welcome 11,000 professional visitors from 70 countries and offer three full days of business opportunities.
Exhibitors will come from diverse producing regions from France, Italy and Australia (top 3 countries) to Spain, New Zealand, South Africa, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and the United Kingdom.
Vinexpo Asia 2025 is expected to attract stakeholders from diverse markets in Asia Pacific, including mature wine markets like Japan, South Korea and China.
According to the IWSR, Asia Pacific accounts for 10 per cent of global wine imports, with beverage alcohol consumption forecast to grow in 2025 by 1.5 per cent, rising to 5.9 per cent for the ready-to-drink segment.
Singapore represents a mature and dynamic market with the city of Singapore alone reflecting a respective 2.18 per cent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in volume through to 2028 for wine and three per cent for spirits.
The event is also well-positioned to open opportunities to emerging growth markets in the region such as Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.
For the first time visitors to the Singapore event will be able to experience the Welcome to the Organic World (WOW!) section, offering the opportunity to explore the diverse range of organic and biodynamic wines produced globally.
Award-winning collective Wines Unearthed will also make its debut at Vinexpo Asia 2025, offering a unique one-stop showcase of boutique producers who are looking for distributors in the region.
Spirits are expected to deliver a strong global line-up with representation from Japan, the UK, Ireland, Australia, France, and China.
The Vinexpo Academy programme will offer visitors an opportunity to experience insightful high-level masterclasses and conferences with a line-up of top sommeliers from around the globe, discussions on current-day issues in wine and spirits markets and rare opportunities to taste specialty wine vintages.
