The new solutions for skin care and make up: COSSMA

Even though there have hardly been any face-to-face meetings over the past two years, the demands placed on solutions for skin care and make up have continued to change, and contract manufacturers and private labels have steadily developed new products. We can finally meet again, exchange ideas on site at COSMOPACK and find out about current trends.

Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna will take place from 28th April – 2nd May, 2022 Cosmopack and Cosmo Perfumery & Cosmetics will take place from 28th April – 1st May, 2022 in the Bologna Fair District. For details, please check www.cosmoprof.com

To understand how the cosmetic industry is transforming and the challenges to be faced in the coming months, it is essential to analyse the solutions proposed by the supply chain. Cosmopack, scheduled from 28th April to 1st May, 2022, in Bologna, Italy, hosts all sectors of the supply chain – contract manufacturing and private label, process and packaging machinery, primary and secondary packaging, applicators, ingredients, and raw materials. The exhibition, organised in conjunction with Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, will offer a complete vision of innovations and technologies in response to the most current issues for consumers. The presence under the same roof of managers and R&D specialists for finished products is a key factor for the growth of new projects and collaborations, enhancing the quality of the cosmetic offer.

Cosmopack 2022 will host the main novelties: on the show floor stakeholders will discover machines equipped with new digital instruments, capable of improving safety processes without forgetting the quality of the result; new generation raw materials, with manufacturing and extraction processes with reduced environmental impact; performing formulations that respect the planet; packaging with sustainable components; collections suitable for recycling and reuse.

European beauty market

Europe plays a central role in the development of the global beauty industry. France, Germany, UK, and Italy are among the four leading systems worldwide, bringing to the world top-quality and excellent products. Research, innovation, safety, and sustainable transition are the key words, which are guiding consumers through a more responsible purchase experience.

Thanks to these values, the beauty market in Europe reached a total value of up to 79.8 billion euros, with more than 1.8 million employees and over 30,000 scientists working on R&D labs.

As part of the European system, the “Made in Italy” industry is constantly growing. In 2020, the Italian beauty industry reached a value of up to 10.6 billion Euros, 33.2 billion Euros when referring to the whole cosmetic supply chain. Thanks to the commitment of over 36,000 direct employees (more than 400,000 if we consider the whole supply chain), Italian companies produced 67% of all the make-up products purchased in Europe.

Presenting the supply chains

The development of Cosmopack foresees an increasingly marked division between the various specialities of the supply chain. The area dedicated to leading machinery and production solutions companies is growing: 19PK, a peculiar sector of Cosmopack, differentiates the show from all other international competitors. Hall 15 is the reference point for global manufacturers specialising in full-service offers for the industry. In hall 18, there will be OEM and packaging exhibitors. In hall 20, alongside the innovations in the machinery sector, there will be space for companies specialising in packaging.
