The 2025 Frost & Sullivan Global Growth, Innovation & Leadership Conference and the 4th New Investment Conference (hereinafter referred to as '2025 Frost & Sullivan New Investment Conference' or 'Conference') will be hosted by Frost & Sullivan, a globally leading growth consulting firm (Frost & Sullivan, abbreviated as 'Frost & Sullivan'), and will take place from August 27th to 28th, 2025 in Shanghai, with special events scheduled for September in Chengdu.
Consumption, as the core engine of economic growth, continues to drive high-quality economic development. In 2025, China introduced a series of policies intensively focused on 'boosting consumption and optimizing the consumer environment.' Among them, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the 'Special Action Plan for Boosting Consumption' on March 16, 2025, aiming to vigorously boost consumption, expand domestic demand in all aspects, increase market consumer capacity through income growth and burden reduction, create effective demand through high-quality supply, enhance consumer willingness through optimizing the consumer environment, and specifically address prominent issues restricting consumption. The introduction of national policies has greatly stimulated the development of the consumer industry. However, mere policy stimulus is far from enough. The market needs leaders, and consumption needs disruptors. Whether it is the overseas transformation and upgrading of traditional consumption or the rapid rise of emerging consumption, both cannot be separated from enterprises' precise grasp of global consumer needs and forward-looking predictions of market trends.
Technological innovation and leadership are key drivers of growth in the consumer market. By 2025, with the widespread application of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and smart hardware, consumer scenarios are undergoing profound changes. The emergence of consumer hotspots such as emotional IP has also allowed enterprises to see more potential development opportunities within the consumer industry. The consumer industry in China and even globally is broadening its boundaries through innovation, which requires leaders of consumer enterprises to possess more unique and cutting-edge strategic vision and execution. In today's rapidly changing market, keeping up with the pulse of the times, predicting consumer trends, grasping consumer pain points, and resonating with the times are particularly important for promoting the sustainable growth of consumer enterprises and the entire consumer industry.
Against this backdrop, Frost & Sullivan has specially planned and launched the 2025 Global New Consumer Forum. As a premier event in the new consumer sector, this forum focuses deeply on key tracks such as global consumption brand layout, technology-driven consumer innovation, sustainable consumption practices, food and beverage consumption, and industrial upgrading; bringing together global leaders in the consumer industry, founders of innovative brands, corporate representatives, and heads of top institutions to jointly decode the future growth code of the consumer market. The forum will leverage Frost & Sullivan's deep insights into primary and secondary markets, presenting the best solutions for the global growth of the consumer industry through trend analysis, case breakdowns, and cross-border dialogues. It will comprehensively explore the breakthrough strategies for enterprises in the new consumer era, promoting efficient resonance between industrial value and capital momentum. Anchoring new consumption opportunities with a global perspective and reshaping new growth patterns with innovative momentum!
1.Forum highlights
Key guests are present to deliver speeches, boosting global business growth
Expanding consumption is the primary economic task for 2025. After the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 2024, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the State Council have successively issued documents such as "Measures on Restoring and Expanding Consumption" and "Opinions on Promoting the High-quality Development of Service Consumption," making measures and directions for expanding both goods and service consumption. The Central Economic Work Conference held in 2024 placed boosting consumption at the top priority of economic work for 2025. Enterprises within various consumer industries need to seize the favorable policy environment to achieve value growth for their own businesses. Against this backdrop, the forum has invited heavyweight guests to give opening remarks at the event. Additionally, founders of well-known food and beverage enterprises will also deliver speeches on the development of the food and beverage market. The forum content revolves around themes such as "Promoting the 'Consumer Industry Supply Chain'" and "Innovation and Breakthrough of Domestic Goods," unfolding across different consumer sectors to help participating enterprises adapt to more personalized and healthy consumption trends, thereby achieving rapid growth for their own businesses.
Industry leaders gather to share insights and analyze the path to brand growth
Against the backdrop of consumption upgrading, enterprises need to accelerate their digital capability building and grasp new consumer trends that are personalized and healthy. The Outline of the Digital Economy Development Plan for 2025 clearly states the need to accelerate the cultivation of new digital economy business forms and promote the full-chain digital transformation in the consumer sector. Technological innovation has become the core driving force for brand growth. This forum invites several senior practitioners from the consumer field to share practical experiences in brand building and communication, and to deeply discuss the development prospects of various old or emerging tracks within the consumer market. Frost & Sullivan will hold this forum in a combination of online and offline formats, inviting industry leaders to join and deliver keynote speeches on topics such as 'New Global Consumer Trends, How to Empower Brand Growth, Brand Communication, and Brand Going Global', sharing practical insights and successful case experiences in brand building and communication.
Leading figures gather to discuss and lead the new trend in the consumer ecosystem
On one hand, the heads of well-known consumer brands engaged in a deep dialogue on food and beverage topics, discussing how digital technology can optimize the entire chain from raw material procurement to terminal sales, as well as the critical role of AI technology in enhancing the global competitiveness of the baking industry. On the other hand, at the National Domestic Brands Innovation Forum, founders of renowned domestic brands will share their strategies for breaking through barriers. The participating guests will delve into core topics such as traditional craftsmanship innovation and health formula research and development, demonstrating how domestic brands can achieve high-quality development through product upgrading and digital transformation. This forum actively responds to the government policy's emphasis on collaborative innovation in the consumer industry by 2025, vigorously promoting cooperation mechanisms to help domestic brands build differentiated competitive advantages in the global market.
2,White Paper Release
The annual white paper on the food and beverage industry is released with great momentum
In 2024, as a crucial year for the comprehensive economic recovery in the post-pandemic era, China's consumer market has shown strong resilience growth. With continuous efforts to promote consumption policies, the national economic cycle has been continuously smoothed, further unleashing the vitality of the consumer market. Food and beverage consumption, as an economic barometer, has taken the lead in warming up. After three years of the pandemic, Chinese consumers have become more rational and quality-conscious in their consumption concepts, which has profoundly affected all sectors of the consumer market. Among them, the food and beverage industry, which is an essential need for people's livelihood and closely related to healthy living, is undergoing a transformation from quantity to quality, demonstrating new development momentum and market opportunities.
At the forum, Frost & Sullivan will release the '2025 Food and Beverage Industry White Paper', providing an in-depth analysis of the latest changes and future opportunities in the Chinese food and beverage market. The report focuses on core trends such as 'Intelligent Food and Beverage', 'Health Upgrade', and 'Globalization Layout'. Combining industry data for food and beverages in 2024, it scientifically analyzes and predicts the competitive landscape of the food and beverage industry in 2025, as well as the market wave of healthy consumption. The forum will bring together leading food and beverage brands, supply chain enterprises, and investment institutions to engage in in-depth dialogue around hot topics such as food and beverages, IP culture and entertainment, and consumer outbound markets, helping the industry accurately grasp growth momentum within the consumption market scale in China and globally, and break through the bottleneck of homogeneous competition.
