AXIA Japan Expo: A Gateway for Japanese Food Brands in the Philippines
On May 3, 2026, the AXIA Japan Expo will take place in the central district of Makati, Manila, organized by AXIA Promotion & Trading Philippines Corporation. This event aims to support Japanese companies entering the Philippine market by hosting a large-scale consumer sampling project. It will feature 10 leading Japanese food manufacturers, including notable names like Koiwai Dairy Products, Iwatsuka Confectionery, and Yamaki.
The expo will engage with 100 local consumers, gathering their genuine feedback on various products. This initiative is crucial for assessing the acceptance and adaptability of Japanese products in a rapidly growing market like the Philippines. Feedback on aspects like flavors, pricing, and packaging will be collected to help Japanese companies shape their strategies as they navigate this market.
Focus of the Project: Providing Confidence in an Uncertain Market
The interest in Japanese products is soaring in the flourishing Philippine market. However, comprehensive data on local tastes, pricing acceptability, and packaging impressions is currently lacking. The AXIA Japan Expo will be held in a hotel setting that attracts the upper-middle-class demographic, creating a conducive environment for thorough research and feedback collection. This setup aims to significantly assist Japanese businesses in making informed decisions about market entry.

- - Iwatsuka Confectionery Co., Ltd.
- - Sanritsu Confectionery Co., Ltd.
