The exhibition will be organized by Cosmoprof Asia Ltd, joint venture between Bologna Fiere and UBM, one of the largest groups in the world organizing trade shows and professional events. The Indian beauty market is constantly evolving, with an annual growth which remains regularly in double figures. Cosmoprof India will be a new opportunity for visibility and economic development for companies focused on finished products, especially on skincare, body-care and haircare.

From this year onwards, the International network of Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna is landing in new emerging markets. The first scheduled appointment is in Colombia, at Belleza y Salud, (Bogotá, from September 27th to 29th, 2017). Bologna Fiere Cosmoprof will take part in the organization of the exhibition as international representative, in collaboration with CORFERIAS – International Business and Exhibition Center of Bogotá and in partnership with ANDI – National Business Association of Colombia.

Belleza y Salud showcases all the beauty segments: perfumery and cosmetics, machinery, raw materials, packaging, contract manufacturing, beauty and spa, hair, nail, wellness and fitness. Starting from the results of the 2016 edition, with an exhibition area of 9,256 sqm, 279 exhibiting companies and 55.000 attendees, the show can be considered as the most important business opportunity in South America for distributors, suppliers, import/export groups and managers of the beauty industry looking for trends and news with an international appeal. ITA – Italian Trade Agency and Cosmetica Italia – The Personal Care Association will organize the Italian Country Pavilion, promoting the presence of the national leading companies.

What is new in 2018 in Bologna is the evolution of Cosmoprof into a “tailor made” exhibition, in order to meet the business requirements from both exhibitors and beauty professionals. For the first time, at Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna 2018 every single segment will have specific opening dates. The areas dedicated to professionals – Beauty & Spa, Hair and Nail – will open as usual on Friday, March 16th, till Monday, March 19th.
