Numbers on the rise for the 52nd edition of Cosmoprof, the event that attracted, between 14 and 18 March 2019, in the Bologna fair district, Italy. More than 265,000 operators in the cosmetics industry, with an increase of approximately 10% of visitors from abroad. The pavilions housed 3,033 exhibiting companies (+8.2%) from more than 70 countries, a record for this Bologna show.
“The companies associated present at the fair recorded a significant increase in the quality of the contacts with sector operators,” commented Renato Ancorotti, President of Cosmetica Italia. “Hence they find a confirmation of the determination and the competitiveness of the Italian cosmetics industry on international markets. Not by chance export, which has grown 3.6% for a total of 4.8 billion euro, continues to sustain turnovers that exceed 11.2 billion euro, up 2.1%.”
This landmark fair for the world of international beauty continues to extend its range of action, announcing new expansion plans in Africa and Asia by 2020.
Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna proposes 3 annual appointments outside of Italy, in Asia (Hong Kong), USA (Los Angeles) and India (Mumbai).
The fair has also gained momentum in markets in South American, Southeast Asian, and European markets thanks to the recent acquisition of the German Health & Beauty group.
This year, the beauty event has definitively boosted sustainability in the sector through the organisation of numerous initiatives, including “The Cosmopack Factory”, the programming brimming with talks dedicated to the world of green and numerous special areas with sustainable materials that have highlighted the attention Cosmoprof pays to the environment.
