Exhibition Background:

Group meal, also known as group dining, is a dining mode of centralized meal management for groups. The rental, gas, water, and electricity costs for group dining venues are low, with a relatively fixed customer base and highly concentrated meal times. This can maximize the preparation of ingredients, reduce waste, allocate manpower, and win by quantity. The catering service targets groups such as schools, government agencies, hospitals, and large enterprises. From the income situation of various types of catering, except for regular meals, group meals have the highest income. Affected by the epidemic, many local governments encourage enterprises to conduct pre arranged group meals or self organized group meals to solve the problem of difficult meals for employees. Group meals have become a dark horse in the catering industry, breaking through the encirclement. The group dining industry has been affected by the epidemic and has been decreasing its outings, but it is actually getting better and better. During the epidemic, the group dining population in university canteens, corporate canteens, and other places has been fixed, accelerating the development of the group dining industry. Major food companies such as Quanjude, Qianxihe, Xiang-Eqing, and Qiaojiangnan have all entered the group meal market.

Our country's group meals are mainly concentrated in school canteens, government canteens, enterprises, factories, institutions, hospitals, military, hotels, cruise ships, real estate, training institutions, rural tourism, tourism group meals, chain stores, industrial park enterprise canteens, business office buildings, enterprise group meals, property management, construction sites, student nutrition and elderly care meals, exhibition and conference event group meals, miner's canteens, aviation and railway catering, among which school, enterprise and government canteens are key areas. In recent years, with the acceleration of China's aging population and the rapid development of the exhibition industry, emerging group meal businesses such as elderly care catering, delivery, and catering have gradually increased.

Currently, the group meal market in China is growing rapidly and has become the fastest-growing catering industry. It is estimated to maintain a growth rate of 10% and continue to be profitable, serving as a dark horse leading the social catering industry. By 2024, it will reach 2.25 trillion yuan. The group meal business is closely related to enterprises, schools and other units, and the industry is less affected by the epidemic and international situation. The industry continues to show a trend of rigid demand development, and the scale of China's group meal market will continue to expand. In order to ensure the stability of the group meal supply chain industry chain, promote the stable development of high-quality group meals, enhance food safety, market expansion, and model innovation, meet the new requirements of group meal intensification, quality, and popularization, steadily promote the healthy, orderly, and efficient development of the group meal industry, lead the catering industry to actively implement the national 14th Five Year Plan and 2035 vision goals, and meet the growing needs of the people for a better life, the 2025 China Western Group Meal Industry Expo was born in response to the trend, creating a platform for the exchange of new products and technologies in the group meal industry chain. It is the preferred event for various group meal enterprises to visit, purchase, and negotiate cooperation, and the best channel for domestic and foreign group meal brands to expand into the western market.

This year's Group Meal Expo is based in the western region and radiates across the country, creating a high-quality platform for domestic and foreign high-quality ingredients, food, catering brands, aquatic products, cold chain distribution production suppliers, group meal enterprises, etc. to enter the western market and the national market.
