COSMOPROF ASIA is the largest and most influential beauty and cosmetics exhibition in the Asia-Pacific region. It is one of the exhibitions under the world-renowned beauty and hairdressing brand series COSMOPROF; it is the first exhibition of global beauty brands with a long history and high reputation. Hong Kong is the hub of the Asian beauty trade, and the Asia Pacific Beauty Show is an important gateway to the Asia Pacific region.

As one of the most important international beauty exhibitions in the Asia-Pacific region, it is also a rare platform that can link China and even the Asia-Pacific market with the global beauty industry for interaction. This exhibition undoubtedly contains a large number of market trends and interpretable information.

COSMOPROF ASIA continues the form of "one place, two exhibitions", dividing into the Asia Pacific Beauty Supply Chain Exhibition targeting upstream and downstream enterprises such as packaging suppliers, OEM enterprises, and raw material suppliers, and the Asia Pacific Beauty Exhibition targeting beauty care brands. According to official data, there were more than 437 Chinese exhibitors participating in the supply chain exhibition this time.

In terms of exhibitors, the Asia Pacific Beauty Supply Chain Exhibition mainly includes domestic OEMs and packaging suppliers with overseas business or primarily focused on the overseas market, as well as downstream enterprises from Japan and South Korea seeking Chinese customers during this exhibition.

In terms of products, the breakthrough direction for makeup products is mainly in appearance, 3D printing technology, makeup products skincare, formula innovation, which have become important highlights; the development trend of skincare products is clearly in mild and efficient, pure skincare, among which products with traditional Chinese culture, using Chinese traditional plant extracts as the main ingredient, are popular overseas.

In terms of packaging, multiple well-known domestic and international packaging suppliers all emphasize that environmental protection has become one of the most important trends in the development of cosmetic packaging.

At the Hong Kong Asia Pacific Beauty Exhibition site, Japanese and Korean brand merchants remain enthusiastic, not only occupying relatively central positions in the exhibition hall, but also the number of participating brands is also relatively large. According to official data, this year, the Japanese and Korean pavilions respectively brought 20 and 253 selected exhibitors to the Asia Pacific Beauty Show to showcase local hot new products, demonstrating the Japanese and Korean beauty trends.

In addition to Japanese and Korean brand exhibitors, US and French exhibiting companies also occupy a certain number. According to official data, this time the French Trade Investment Agency brought over 80 French cosmetics companies to the French National Pavilion. Among them, the French perfume brand L.T. PIVER, the professional skincare brand MEDICEUTIC, and the functional skincare brand Laino, all made their appearances.

As an international exhibition linking domestic and foreign beauty enterprises, COSMOPROF ASIA plays a role similar to the "barometer" of China's import and export beauty industry. In the current economic downturn and increased uncertainty, the active participation of exhibitors from various countries indirectly confirms that the Chinese and even the Asia-Pacific beauty market is still one of the most active markets globally.

From this exhibition, many overseas brands are participating for the first time, and they have never entered the Chinese market before, and are currently planning to enter the Chinese market. Many brands have stated that they hope to find agents or distributors in China or other markets through this exhibition.

In general, the Chinese cosmetics market remains an arena that cannot be ignored by overseas brands. At the same time, the rise of domestic brands and the upgrading of consumption have made competition and challenges for overseas brands more intense, requiring more innovation and differentiation.
