The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is resuming the DTI Bagong Pilipinas National Trade Fair from July 23 to 27, 2025, at SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City. The fair will feature nearly 300 exhibitors across the Philippines, showcasing a diverse range of local products, including heirloom crafts, wellness essentials, upcycled home décor, contemporary fashion, and environmentally responsible solutions. The lineup promises excellence, with each exhibitor chosen for their commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability.
What sets the National Trade Fair apart is its deeper mission. It isn’t just about displaying and selling goods; it’s about celebrating the stories, cultures, and communities that shape them. Supporting the Tatak Pinoy Strategy, the 2025 edition reinforces DTI’s push to build a dynamic domestic economy where homegrown brands and products can flourish locally and globally. These MSMEs show how Filipino enterprises can lead in a fast-evolving world through innovation, creative design, and responsible production.
“The National Trade Fair is more than a marketplace—it’s a national platform for promoting Filipino excellence, innovation, and sustainability. This 2025 edition goes even further, introducing new features to spotlight game-changing green technologies,” said DTI Assistant Secretary Nylah Rizza D. Bautista, who heads the Competitiveness and Innovation Group. She further explained that, unlike the National Food Fair, which focuses on culinary enterprises, the National Trade Fair highlights a broader spectrum of Filipino creativity. From fashion and home furnishings to digital innovations and natural wellness products, the NTF offers a rich and immersive experience. Assistant Secretary Bautista emphasized that this year’s fair continues to promote the use of Philippine natural raw materials and highlights the potential of green technologies in helping MSMEs scale up and compete more effectively.
One of the major highlights of this year’s fair is the Philippine Sustainability Pavilion. Here, visitors will find breakthrough eco-innovations and green technologies taking center stage. The pavilion brings to light how indigenous and natural materials—such as bamboo, abaca, and native grasses—are transformed into high-value products suitable for both local consumption and international markets. It is a striking example of how environmental consciousness and cultural heritage can be woven together to create beautiful, functional, and sustainable products. But the fair offers more than just shopping and exhibits. Attendees will enjoy a rich
learning environment through business development seminars, live skills demonstrations, and themed exhibit zones. These are designed to help MSMEs improve market access, develop innovative products, and accelerate growth. Whether you’re a buyer, a budding entrepreneur, or simply someone who values Filipino craftsmanship, there is something to learn and appreciate at every corner of the event.
The National Trade Fair has proven to be a powerful platform for MSMEs. In 2024, it featured 273 MSMEs and welcomed 27,909 visitors. The event generated Php 73.2 million in total sales, including Php 62.12 million in cash sales and booked orders. These
numbers reflect not only the public’s growing support for locally made products but also the strategic value of this event in helping small businesses grow. As the 2025 edition unfolds, it carries the momentum of past successes while pushing toward new heights. With increasing interest in sustainability, quality local goods, and proudly Filipino innovations, the fair is expected to deliver even greater impact this year. Everyone’s Invited
The 2025 DTI-Bagong Pilipinas National Trade Fair will run for five days, from July 23 to 27, at SM Megamall. Admission is free and open to all. This is your chance to discover the latest in proudly local design, support MSMEs from all over the country, and take part in a
movement that’s building a more sustainable and globally competitive Philippine economy.
