The first day of the expo sees a huge demand for masks, disinfectant solutions and disinfection spray guns in the epidemic prevention and protection zone. Premium suppliers including Jinyuan Biotechnology and Oralion Technology will remain available for inquiries online 24 hours a day.

In the health equipment and supplies zone, exhibitors displayed medical devices and first aid kits for home use, equipment and tools for making traditional Chinese medicine as well as lab equipment for diagnostic testing.

The smart medical segment ranked among the top three in terms of inquiries on the first day, with exhibits including smart wearables, smart trackers, and intelligent robots for rehabilitation. Some brands represented by eCare Technology (Shenzhen) showcased the Huihuaizhen care robot for use in hospitals, rehab, nursing home and residential settings.

Segments of traditional Chinese medicine, healthcare and wellness, beauty and fitness, and health management received the most attention. Green and healthy foods as well as tonics and nutrition products on display also attracted buyers from many countries as consumption of health foods increased substantially worldwide following the pandemic.

Some thirty events were held during the expo, including in-person visits to nearby production facilities, new product launches and business matching sessions. Several one-to-one matching sessions are coming up in the next few days. Buyers interested in meeting suppliers are encouraged to contact the event organizers at en.itoegd.com.
