Special edition kicks off: COSSMA

Sustainability | In just a few days, key players and stakeholders in the beauty industry will redefine the future of beauty in the Asia-Pacific region at Singapore Expo. A host of exhibitors await visitors, and a special programme is designed to create a special connection between exhibitors and buyers.

The return of Cosmoprof and Cosmopack Asia in-person is the first occasion for beauty stakeholders to gather under one roof and discuss how to deal with the new scenario and needs of the Asia-Pacific market.

More than 1,000 exhibitors from 40 different countries and regions are showcasing their new propos-als to retail outlets, distributors, wholesalers, finished products and packaging manufacturers, hair and beauty salons owners, who are gathering in Singapore from all over the world.

The presence of national and group pavilions from Australia, California, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mainland China, Malaysia, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, UK, and the first-timer Global Shea Alliance, with ten exhibitors from four West African countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Togo) gives visitors a global perspective on emerging trends.

Rendezvous for international beauty stakeholders

For 25 years, Cosmoprof and Cosmopack Asia have been a reference event for buyers and operators interested in business opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region and getting back finally to a face-to-face exhibition is a long-awaited occasion for most of the attendees of the 2022 special edition.

Thanks to the ‘Buyer Programme’, one of the special services, exhibitors (brands and suppliers) on one side, and selected buyers, distributors, and retailers on the other can easily close direct contact. Around 300 buyers from across the world, including Australia, ASEAN countries, India, Korea, Japan, Europe, Middle East, and the US, are part of the Cosmoprof Asia 2022 ‘Buyer Programme’ with scheduled meetings with suppliers and companies with common interests during the three-day show.

“Taking part in Cosmoprof and Cosmopack Asia is very important for my beauty business. The various Cosmoprof exhibitions I have visited since 2009 have been a very influential event in building the brand. I am in the process of launching a second beauty brand, and again, I understand the priceless value additions that the event provides. I expect from the show to get to learn more on current worldwide beauty trends, Asia being a market that Africa looks to in terms of our forward movement in the industry. We also trade a lot with the various Asian countries, so interacting with the thousands of manufacturers for my various product lines is an integral part of it all. I am also venturing out into the Asia-Pacific region in terms of distribution, therefore being at Cosmoprof and making direct contacts with relevant parties in this area is vital for me.”

“Cosmopack Asia has been a very important show for the leading cosmetic packaging suppliers to gather around and to meet new clients as well as old friends in the industry. After the Covid-19-pandemic, it is even more important to be at this show to get a sense of the market. A presence in the show is sending a signal to the market that we are here with 400 years of glass making history and expertise, running the production to serve the local market. Our target is to serve the brands having business in APAC that value quality and sustainability.”
