The growth in this forecast period can be attributed to several trends being picked up globally, one being consumers’ increasing interest in the use and consumption of natural, organic, and sustainable personal care products. As the Korean and wider APAC markets a preference for natural and ‘clean’ beauty, the event’s Natural Extract Zone will spotlight natural and sustainable ingredients and themes, featuring leading suppliers of herbal and plant extracts, essential oils, and raw materials. Other industry trends include exosomes, which promise hair growth, and natural ingredients like mugwort and yuja (“Yuzu”).
