2 new thematic trails
Local: giving pride of place to regional sectors
The craze for local is a basic trend, which is becoming increasingly important. Half of the French population say that they have changed shopping habits or eating patterns over the past three years. For 48% of French people, this means adopting locally sourced products and short supply chains, a criterion which features among the top five commitments by French people for healthy eating and better eating.

Local favoritism, activism or guarantee of quality, buying as close as possible to producers is strongly supported by consumers, who give pride of place to regional sectors, even beyond the ‘made in France’.
Natexpo is inaugurating the local thematic trail in 2022 to identify professionals combining organic and local. The trade show thus offers people the opportunity to target potential new partners on precise origin criteria to stand out in an organic market which is becoming increasingly demanding on this point. As there is no official definition of “local product” – because the notion of proximity is fluctuating according to the regions, the products and the consideration or not of their transformation – the information provided will gather the radius in which ingredients are sourced, the percentage of ingredients from a local supply chain, the place where the product is made and packed, and information on specific labels or regional wording.
Epure : the new trail dedicated to premium cosmetics
The distribution market is in constant evolution. Organic cosmetics users are now sensitive to the discourse and the label, but also and more than ever to the product’s aesthetic.
In 2022, Natexpo launches a special thematic trail dedicated to cosmetics brands targeting a specific and upmarket retail segment: perfume shops, department stores, skincare and beauty professionals, subscription boxes…
Niche brands, sophisticated formulation, premium packaging: Epure brings together the best of organic cosmetics, shaped to meet this growing consumers’ demand.
A new sector: E-commerce Solutions
In 2020, the e-commerce offering grew by 20%. E-commerce turnover grew by 50%. A rise increased during the health crisis, during which retailers had to set up an online sales activity in no time, in order to allow their customers to continue buying their products.
According to a Médiametrie survey for the e-commerce and distant selling federation, 75% of those questioned believe that all local shops should now offer an e-commerce service in addition to the store.
In light of these observations, Natexpo launches in 2022 a tailored offering and positions it at the centre of the show: the E-Commerce Solution sector brings together specific equipment, advice for retailers looking for a support developing their online sales. Customer experience, inventory management, click & collect, delivery, equipment, marketplace…
