"Cosmoprof Asia continues to expand, innovate and remains the unique Asian Pacific event for the professional beauty industry. We are proud to provide a unified platform that continues to meet the needs of the global beauty industry," said Duccio Campagnoli, President of BolognaFiere Group.

The organisers are expecting more than 55,000 visitors coming through the doors to delve into the comprehensive showcase of innovative products in all areas of cosmetics and personal care, spa and wellness, packaging and contract manufacturing, together with professional hair and, for the first time, a new sector dedicated to "Nail & Accessories" brings together 128 brands and companies to display the latest in nail art, decorative techniques, nail products and tools.

The international flavor has been stressed with 22 national and group pavilions, which include the largest-ever Korean pavilion -- a collection of 190 companies in skincare, make-up, nail, personal care, formulation and packaging solutions. Leading cosmetics manufacturing countries such as France and Italy have also expanded their group size registering the highest number of exhibiting companies. At the same time, the large Asian participants -- mainland China, Korea and Taiwan region -- are prominently represented, confirming the fair's indisputable stature as the leading B2B beauty event and the best sourcing platform in Asia.

INTERNATIONAL NAIL DAYS

The new sector Nail & Accessories is enlivened by the "International Nail Days", a 3-day programme designed to connect nail professionals to foster exchange and networking. The kick-off seminar on 13 November will feature Silvia Fossati, the Editor in chief of LOVE NAILS magazine from Italy, who will report on global nail art in terms of colour, texture and trends.
