Returning for its 29th edition, Cosmoprof Asia 2026 is preparing to welcome more than 78,000 attendees and more than 2,900 exhibitors from around the world. As one of Asia-Pacific’s leading business-to-business beauty events, the November gathering will once again bring together the brands, manufacturers, suppliers, buyers and creative voices shaping the future of the industry.

Cosmoprof Asia 2026 will connect Cosmoprof Asia and Cosmopack Asia across two complementary venues, offering a comprehensive view of the beauty value chain.

Cosmopack Asia, taking place at AsiaWorld-Expo from Nov. 10 to 12, will focus on the supply chain, spanning ingredients and raw materials, packaging, print and label, machinery and equipment, as well as contract manufacturing and private label. Cosmoprof Asia, held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from Nov. 11 to 13, will showcase branded finished products across perfumery and cosmetics, beauty salon and spa, nail and accessories, hair salon and natural and organic.

Together, the two events are designed to connect science, business, creativity and imagination, offering a broad perspective on the forces that are shaping beauty’s next chapter.

“Cosmoprof Asia is the unmissable international beauty-trade event that delivers unparalleled business opportunities,” said the organizer. “This year’s edition brings together high-profile Cosmoprof Asia exhibitors and Cosmopack Asia supply-chain leaders, alongside key buyers from major retailers, distributors and e-commerce platforms across Asia-Pacific and beyond, reinforcing the show’s role as the definitive gateway to growth in the global beauty market.”

World-renowned brands will be represented across the two shows. Cosmoprof Asia will feature Asia Pacific Beauty Group, Beautisky, Caregen, D-UP, Ga. Ma., Game On, Giffarine, HSA Cosmetics, Indiba, Pettenon, Pretty Woman Asia, Pro Labo and Vagheggi. Cosmopack Asia will host Axilone, B.Kolormakeup, Baralan, CDP-WOOJUNG, Coreana, F.S. Korea, HCT, Schwan Cosmetics, Tair Jiuh, Thai Ho Bio-Tech, Tonnie Cosmetics, Roboqbo and Zhejiang JM.

The international scope of the event will also be reflected within the 20 country and group pavilions, presenting beauty products, technologies and industry solutions from across the globe. Participating pavilions include Australia, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan Region, Thailand and the U.S. Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, South Africa and the U.K. will join the event as new participants this year.

Italy’s designation as “Country of Honor” will be one of the highlights for the 2026 edition. The ITA, Italian Trade Agency, together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and Cosmetica Italia, the Italian Personal Care Association, will present a country pavilion spanning Cosmoprof Asia and Cosmopack Asia.

The pavilion will spotlight Italy’s beauty excellence, manufacturing expertise, creativity and innovation, bringing the country’s distinctive contribution to the international beauty conversation into focus.

Business matchmaking will remain central to the event. The Match & Meet platform will facilitate targeted one-to-one meetings between qualified invited buyers and exhibitors, while the buyer program will bring together more than 400 top-tier qualified buyers from over 45 countries and regions. Professional buyer specialists will curate tailored itineraries to help participants navigate the shows and identify relevant business opportunities.

For 2026, the program will place particular emphasis on the Middle East and Central Asia, two strategic regions for Cosmoprof Asia. Dedicated buyer delegations will be designed to foster new connections and business opportunities in these markets.

The Elite Circle will complement the program with an exclusive networking platform for C-level executives and senior international industry executives.

Fragrance, live artistry, industry intelligence, trend forecasting, international business and social impact will all feature in a program that reflects the breadth and evolution of the global beauty industry.

Fragrance will remain a strategic focus for Cosmoprof Asia, with three special projects exploring different aspects of perfumery — from scent culture and innovation to fragrance creation and international olfactory excellence.

ScentMuseum, developed in partnership with Xuelei, will offer an immersive olfactory journey through interactive and multisensory spaces. The experience will explore scent culture, formulation innovation and the excellence of Chinese perfumery.

CosmoLab will take visitors behind the scenes of fragrance creation, tracing the production process from initial concept to finished product. Developed through the collaboration of Xuelei, Baralan and CPL Aromas, the project will bring together expertise in fragrance formulation, premium packaging and strategic co-development, offering a tangible view of how a fragrance comes to life.

Completing the fragrance-focused initiatives, the Fragrance Creative Workshop installation, developed in partnership with Centdegres China, will showcase a curated selection of international fragrance houses. The leading creative agency, known for building bridges between East and West, will celebrate the heritage, expertise and contribution of these houses to the art and science of perfumery.

Live artistry will take center stage at Cosmo Onstage, bringing together three international beauty icons, each representing a distinctive expression of contemporary makeup artistry.

Megumi Sekine, an internationally acclaimed celebrity makeup artist trained in Japan and New York, will bring a global editorial perspective shaped by work featured in editorials.

Nikkie de Jager, known as NikkieTutorials, is one of the world’s most influential beauty creators. She is internationally renowned for her transformative makeup, bold creativity and commitment to inclusivity.

Mao Geping, a leading name in Chinese makeup artistry and education, will bring his distinctive approach, which blends traditional Eastern aesthetics with contemporary techniques.

The program will also include Fusion Beyond, an international hair show presented under “Glamorous Hong Kong — International Hair & Beauty Showcase 2026—2027.” The event will bring together more than 1,000 hairstylists, salon professionals, industry leaders and international talents.

For industry leaders looking for strategic foresight, CosmoTalks and the Beauty Ingredients & Formulation Asia (BIFA) Symposium will feature more than 80 global experts discussing critical supply-chain strategies and consumer trends.

Among the highlights will be Eternal Group’s “Scent of Happiness” emotional wellness study, which will reveal the Daily Mood Index and scent habits of citizens in Hong Kong and Macao. Laurinda Ho, founder of Smile with us HK, will be a featured speaker.

An exclusive partnership with the World Aesthetic Anti-Aging Society (WAAS) will also explore developments in regenerative aesthetics and longevity medicine.

Trend forecasting and industry excellence will come into focus through two signature projects organized and curated in partnership with Beautystreams: the Cosmoprof Asia and Cosmopack Asia Awards and the CosmoTrends Report.

The Global Influencers Circle will extend the reach of the show beyond the exhibition floor, bringing more than 15 international creators to share real-time content and livestreams with global beauty communities.

Beyond business, Cosmoprof Asia will reinforce its commitment to social impact through Boutique, its charity initiative supporting Her Fund.

Sustainability will also remain a key focus of the 2026 edition through Be Sustainable with Beauty, an initiative designed to promote more responsible practices across the beauty industry.
