“Thanks to collaborations and business partnerships, first of all with the Ministry of Economic Development and the ITA – Italian Trade Agnecy, the Cosmoprof Worldwide network is reaching all the booming markets from all continents, confirming a strategic ally for companies in the sector for the development of new business opportunity”, said Franco Boni, President of Bologna Fiere. “The internationalization of the Cosmoprof network is strengthened in 2017 with the cooperation with Iran Beauty & Clean, the main event for the sector in the Gulf region and the Middle East. Cosmoprof Bologna will be exclusive international agent of the 24th edition of this important exhibition, to be held at the Teheran International Fairground from April 25. In September Bologna Fiere Cosmoprof will start working with Feira Belleza y Salud in Bogota, Colombia, opening up interesting perspectives for Latin America. And then we are working to develop a project that in 2019 will cover India”.
“The cosmetics industry is cyclical, as demonstrated by the data in 2016 evidencing the value of the total turnover of 10.5 billion Euros (+ 5%). The positive trend registered by economic surveys has been confirmed in a general climate of optimism: companies have welcomed the visit of the many Italian and foreign operators and the quality of contacts. The full calendar of conferences has been noted for careful attention to new trends, market scenarios and consumer attitude. 2017 – said Fabio Rossello, President of Cosmetica Italia – Personal Care Association – marks the common goal of the fiftieth anniversary of the Cosmoprof and of our association. The partnership has always guaranteed us the support for the industry and its main trade show, a unique event in the world paradigm. The visit of the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Economic Development, Ivan Scalfarotto, has been a sign of the growing attention that even the institutions pay on a sector that stands out in foreign markets for exports in double-digit growth (+ 12%) and a trade balance of 2.3 billion euro record. It is thanks to these synergies, between institutions, trade and industry, that we consolidated a winning and competitive system strategy”.
