As a global leader in scientific breakthroughs, advanced formulations, and trendsetting innovation, Asia will bring the beauty industry together when Hong Kong hosts Cosmoprof Asia. The region is the largest and one of the fastest-growing in the global beauty and personal care market, accounting for more than 30% of its total value, and it’s projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.50%, reaching $234.39 billion by 2032.
From November 10 to 13, leaders from across the global beauty industry will gather in Hong Kong for the 29th edition of the event. As one of the leading international business-to- business beauty gatherings, Cosmoprof Asia attendees are able to build expertise and discover opportunities across the entire beauty value chain. From ingredients and formulations to manufacturing and packaging, the event combines education, networking, and market intelligence, offering insights into the trends shaping the Asia-Pacific beauty market.
Building on the momentum of last year, the event is expected to host more than 2,900 exhibitors from over 40 countries and welcome 78,000 attendees from around the world. The event’s international pull is evidenced from its high turnout in 2025, when 89% of exhibitors and 75% of attendees came from outside Hong Kong.
Cosmopack Asia, a segment of the trade show dedicated specifically to the beauty supply chain, will take place at AsiaWorld-Expo from November 10 to 12, while Cosmoprof Asia will focus on finished products for the retail and professional sectors at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, from November 11 to 13.
Cosmopack Asia will be organized around two key segments: “OEM/ODM & Ingredients” and “Packaging & Machinery,” designed for brand owners, product development teams, and R&D professionals from emerging start-ups to established global companies.
The OEM/ODM & Ingredients segment will connect brands with manufacturers and product developers while showcasing ingredients, raw materials, cosmetic formulations, laboratory services, and other solutions for bringing new products to market. Meanwhile, the Packaging & Machinery section will spotlight innovations across manufacturing, processing, and packaging, with a focus on technology that can support efficiency and sustainability.
The conference will also include the BIFA (Beauty Ingredients & Formulation Asia) Symposium, which debuted last year. Developed in collaboration with the Hong Kong Society of Cosmetic Chemists, the symposium brings together various sectors of the industry to discuss how emerging technologies and scientific advancements can help shape the next generation of beauty products.
Cosmoprof Asia will be divided into two main segments: “Perfumery, Cosmetics & Nail” and “Hair & Beauty Salon.” The first segment will showcase products and brands from across the consumer market, while the latter will focus on the professional channel, including salon equipment, spa and wellness solutions, and professional products and tools.
Fragrance will be a particular area of focus, reflecting the category’s continued growth. Cosmoprof has collaborated with Esxence, an international event dedicated to artistic perfumery, to create a dedicated niche fragrance section. Here, attendees will be able to discover a curated selection of independently owned and emerging brands. Meanwhile, a special installation will further showcase the heritage, creativity, craftsmanship, and science behind participating fragrance houses in hopes of offering buyers and other professionals a more comprehensive view of the category.
This year’s program will also feature CosmoTalks and Cosmo Forum sessions, offering education and insights into the technologies, trends, and market developments. Additionally, Cosmo Onstage will bring new ideas to life through live demonstrations of products and application techniques. And Glamorous Hong Kong – International Hair & Beauty Showcase 2026-2027 will connect professional talent with education and live artistry.
Cosmoprof’s specialized areas of discovery will include Halal Beauty, Nutri-Beauty, and Zoom on Beauty, an exhibition format dedicated to emerging brands and new market opportunities.
Italy will be the 2026 Country of Honor, recognized for its longtime excellence in both creativity and innovation. To mark the occasion, an Italian-focused pavilion spanning both Cosmoprof and Cosmopack Asia will highlight the country’s contributions to the global cosmetics industry.
Other established events include the Cosmoprof Asia and Cosmopack Asia Awards, CosmoTrends, and CosmoLab.
