"Cosmoprof Asia 2015 hosted 2,504 exhibiting companies from 46 countries which is an increase of 6% compared to last year, with an exhibition area of more than 84,000 sqm, a 3% expansion," said Michael Duck, Director of Cosmoprof Asia Ltd "Every year we are witnessing a growth in the show which confirms its importance for the Asian beauty industry".
The international flavour was strong with the participation of 22 national and group pavilions, which include the largest-ever Korean pavilion (a collection of 212 companies over 2,696 sqm) as well as the first-timer Chile.
"Cosmoprof Asia is the main focal point for the international beauty industry as we continue to invest in the growth of the show with a focus on the Chinese market," said Duccio Campagnoli, President of Cosmoprof Asia Ltd.
Changes Ahead for 2016
Cosmoprof Asia will introduce the concept of "One Fair, Two Venues" in 2016. Presenting the Fair in more spacious and specialised platforms will allow exhibitors to expand their presence, for visitors to better realise their sourcing goals, resulting in more business opportunities for everyone.
The 2016 edition will be held strategically across two venues - From 15 to 17 November, AsiaWorld-Expo will host exhibitors of ingredients, machinery & equipment, packaging, contract manufacturing and private label. From 16 to 18 November the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre will open its doors for all finished products: cosmetics & toiletries, natural health, beauty salon, hair salon, nail and accessories.
