A first-time conference delegate and visitor to the show, Rikhia Mazumdar, Global Senior Brand Manager for Reckitt Benckiser said that she would certainly return next year. “I've learned about new emerging trends in microbiome technology and also probiotics - that is something that you don't get sitting out of a desk job.

關於趨勢，Pharmatech的研發科學家Jeff Klien評論：“益生菌和膠原蛋白廣受歡迎。它們在美國市場上無疑佔有極大份額，但有趣的是，它們居然也盛行于亞洲各地。”
Aoife Marie Murphy, a Nutrition Scientist for exhibitor Kerry, said, "There's lots of different concepts, lots of new ingredients emerging. Protein is still a key trend and there's a move towards plant-based protein with the sustainability trends that are coming out. But we also see really novel innovation of ingredients with a lot of science behind them that have health benefits for the consumer. For example, there are a lot of different probiotics in terms of the need states, like healthy ageing. Sports nutrition probiotics are becoming really popular at the moment.” She added, “At Kerry, we've lots of different ingredients - we are working in the protein space, gluten, fibres, and probiotics. We have seen a lot of interest at Vitafoods Asia in these concepts."
參展商凱愛瑞（Kerry）的營養學家Aoife Marie Murphy說道：“不同概念造就了各種新成分的紛紛湧現，多姿多彩。蛋白質始終是主流趨勢，而重點正轉向基於植物的蛋白質，並預示永續趨勢的到來。無論如何，我們都見證了運用科學原理來研製的各種創新成分，為消費者帶來健康補益的佳音。例如，各式各樣的益生菌是針對不同的個人需要和狀態，如健康老齡化。目前，運動營養益生菌的市場迴響極其火熱。”她強調：“凱愛瑞備有的成分廣泛而多元，我們正積極鑽研蛋白質領域、麵筋、纖維和益生菌。透過《亞洲國際營養保健食品展》，我們曉得人們對這些概念有著濃厚興趣。”

另一個重要趨勢則是膠原蛋白的妙用，不只是美容領域，它在健康老齡化和運動科學方面也大放異彩。2019《亞洲國際營養保健食品展》贊助商之一的嘉利達（GELITA），其中國/ APA銷售副總裁Josh Hemelaar分享道：“科學重塑了運動營養品的形態……膠原蛋白正形成一股風靡全球的浪潮。”
