Functional Food in Thailand: Siam Trade Development Invited as Regulatory Speaker at FFWS 2026
Siam Trade Development (“STD”) is honoured to be invited as a regulatory expert and speaker at the Functional Foods for Wellness Summit (FFWS) 2026, that will be held on January 20-21 at the Pullman Bangkok King Power in Bangkok, Thailand. The Summit is recognised as one of the most important gatherings in the functional food in Thailand and broader Asia-Pacific industry, bringing together regulators, industry leaders, and innovators in nutrition, functional foods, and dietary supplements.
Engaging with Global Stakeholders at FFWS 2025
The FFWS platform facilitates comprehensive dialogue on regulatory frameworks, market access pathways, and emerging scientific trends. More than 150 professionals and representatives from international organisations—including the International Probiotics Association, Health Food Supplement Association, Malaysia Dietary Supplement Association, and many leading manufacturers and research institutes—will participate in sessions covering regulatory policy, product innovation, and market opportunities in the health-oriented food sector.
Siam Trade Development’s Role as Regulatory Expert for Functional Food in Thailand
At FFWS 2025, Siam Trade development’s contribution will focus on regulatory compliance and market entry strategies for functional foods and dietary supplements in Thailand and ASEAN. As an invited speaker, we will present insights on the evolving regulatory landscape and the implications for companies seeking approval and commercialisation in this dynamic region. The session will underscore the importance of aligning product development with both safety standards and claim substantiation requirements, reinforcing Thailand’s role as a strategic hub for regulatory engagement in Asia.
Participation in events of this calibre reflects Siam Trade Development’s commitment to shaping global understanding of dietary supplement regulation and advancing knowledge on regulatory harmonisation for functional ingredients and products. FFWS provides an invaluable forum to exchange perspectives with peers and stakeholders from countries including Japan, China, India, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and beyond, fostering greater clarity on compliance challenges and opportunities across markets.
The Summit will also showcase key industry developments such as regulatory update panels, scientific presentations on health-benefit ingredients, and discussions on consumer and policy trends shaping the future of functional nutrition. These discussions are directly relevant to companies navigating complex regulatory pathways for functional foods and dietary supplements in Thailand and throughout the region.
We extend our appreciation to the FFWS organisers and fellow participants for a productive and insightful event. STD remains dedicated to supporting industry stakeholders with up-to-date regulatory guidance and practical strategies for market entry success.
