The organisers of Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna have expressed their satisfaction with the results of the 53rd edition. This took place from April 28th – May 2nd at BolognaFiere after two years of postponements due to the pandemic crisis.
The show’s success can be summarised by these numbers: visitors from more than 140 countries attended the event, which accommodated 2,700 exhibitors from 70 countries.
The educational events were particularly popular, too. The Cosmotalks sessions brought together visitors to discuss the new trends that will revolutionise the industry. There was also great enthusiasm in Pavilion 37 theatre, where the On Hair shows finally brought together hairstylists and protagonists from across the professional hairdressing industry.
Here are some comments from the organisers’ representatives, whose enthusiasm for the success of this event is hugely understandable.
Gianpiero Calzolari, President of BolognaFiere:
”We are really proud of the results of the exhibition: Cosmoprof has once again confirmed its role as a point of reference for the global cosmetics industry, despite the ongoing complications of the current situation. Exhibitors have noticed the high professional standards of visitors, as well as commenting on how many operators have arrived from abroad. Most came from Europe, but attendance from Asia and the Americas went well beyond our expectations. The African and Middle East markets followed on with numbers which are very interesting in terms of future prospects. It was very exciting to see the aisles of the fair come alive with operators from all over the world, making business deals and discussing new projects. We hope to have offered companies and professionals a profitable experience.”
Renato Ancorotti, President of Cosmetica Italia:
“We waited a long time for this 53rd edition of Cosmprof Worldwide Bologna. To finally find ourselves in the halls of the Bologna exhibition centre was undoubtedly an important moment for our industry, one which highlighted the desire to start up again with a relaunch that rests on solid foundations. By 2021, the Italian cosmetics sector has shown its ability to respond and by 2022, despite the uncertainties of the international scenario, it is estimated to return to pre-crisis levels with a turnover that will once again exceed €12 Billion.”
Enrico Zannini, General Manager of BolognaFiere Cosmoprof:
“This edition of Cosmprof Worldwide Bologna was extremely positive. Our exhibitors have finally met buyers and distributors from all over the world in person. We are aware that many companies couldn’t attend due to the restrictions related to both the pandemic and the war between Russia and Ukraine. For this reason, our match-making system, Cosmoprof My Match, will also remain available to our operators in the coming days. We want to guarantee the visibility and quality of Cosmoprof business opportunities even beyond the days of the fair.”
Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna will be back in 2023.
