2025 HIGHLIGHTS

25 - 27 FEBRUARY 2026

WORLD TRADE CENTER MANILA

On its 25th year, WOFEX is launching a brand-new show designed to give a new twist to trade shows.

WOFEX Drinks: Brew, Bar & Beverages is set to put the spotlight on the highly-profitable beverage industry.

Coffee, tea, beer, wines, spirits, liqueur, soda, juices, energy drinks and water belong to a dynamic industry projected to have a value of USD 1,991.85 billion by 2028. Beverages also offer some of the strongest profit margins in the foodservice industry.

WOFEX Drinks is a trade show with an edge. It will not just recreate the cafe and bar scenes on the trade floor but also recreate the reality of how the best business deals are sealed over a cup of coffee, a glass of wine or a mug of beer.

As it highlights the business side of beverages, WOFEX Drinks will also feature the entire supply ecosystem of the beverage industry. From ingredients to manufacturing to packaging, WOFEX Drinks will offer a most comprehensive line-up of products and services that has become the trademark of any WOFEX edition.
