Cosmetic buyers, brands, suppliers and distributors in Australia depend on the world’s major cosmetic and personal care trade shows to network, find new partners and keep abreast of pricing, new trends and product launches.
Top of the must-go events are Cosmoprof Worldwide, North America and Asia and in-cosmetics Global and Asia.
RX (Reed Exhibitions) has announced that this year’s in-cosmetics Global, scheduled for Barcelona in October, will now be held in Paris from April 5 to 7 in 2022. The popular in-cosmetics Asia will also move to November 1 to 3 next year in Bangkok.
The South American iteration has fared better and in-cosmetics Latin America will still be held in Sao Paolo in Brazil this year, shifting dates by only seven weeks to November 10 and 11.
We have been in continuous contact with both exhibitors and visitors, and it is clear the level of confidence to travel and attend large-scale international B2B exhibitions in the cosmetic industry is not there yet, said Roziani Zulkifli, exhibition director of in-cosmetics Global.
“Our primary aim is to meet the expectations of our exhibitors and visitors, and this we believe will happen in 2022.”
Thailand is still battling increasing cases of Covid-19 and many areas of Bangkok and surrounding provinces are undergoing strict lockdowns. The reason why the Latin America show has only been delayed is to allow for Brazil’s vaccination program to gain more traction.
