More than 20 million consumers live in Romania and there are more than 20,000 active, bakery-pastry and HoReCa businesses here. With a 7% economic growth in 2017 the country has set a record in this respect.
Moreover, the European Union has approved a € 43 billion funding for the country for 2014-2020. Romania is one of the most dynamically developing countries in Europe.
The Romanian market shows a growing tendency in many business sectors, so it has become an attraction for world-wide suppliers. One of the fastest-growing sectors is the bakery-pastry and HoReCa industry in all regions of Romania, especially in the Western and Central regions. A large number of new bakeries, confectioneries, restaurants and other catering units have opened up here seeking modern technologies and innovative ingredients. Already existing businesses also seek new and professional solutions for business development.
GastroPan International Specialized Trade Fair for the Bakery, Confectionery and HoReCa industries provides a unique opportunity to meet for those who run bakeries, confectioneries, pizzerias, restaurants, hotels, catering companies and other hospitality units, as well as Romanian and international suppliers, as it is a professional B2B event where demand meets supply. In addition, foreign companies have the opportunity to enter the Romanian market, meet personally with local business operators, get to know their needs and the market potential. For foreign suppliers seeking a new market, wanting to develop and expand their businesses, the Romanian market offers promising business opportunities and GastroPan exhibition is the ideal gateway to enter the market.
