Cosmoprof Asia will return to Hong Kong from 10 to 13 November 2026, with organisers expecting more than 2,900 exhibitors from over 40 countries and regions and over 78,000 visitors. The B2B event will once again split its offer between Cosmopack Asia for the supply chain and Cosmoprof Asia for finished products, reflecting its ambition to connect the entire beauty value chain across the Asia-Pacific market.
The supply-chain exhibition, held at AsiaWorld-Expo from 10 to 12 November, will focus on OEM/ODM, ingredients, packaging and machinery, while the finished-products show at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 11 to 13 November will bring together brands across perfumery, cosmetics, nail, hair and professional beauty.
Fragrance gains dedicated spotlight
One of the biggest additions for 2026 is an expanded fragrance programme. In partnership with Esxence, the event will introduce a curated niche fragrance area featuring independent perfume brands, one of the most dynamic categories of the Asia-Pacific market.
The fragrance experience will be complemented by a dedicated installation created with creative agency Centdegrés, designed to showcase selected fragrance houses through their heritage, craftsmanship and creative expertise. Organisers say the offer will span artistic, independent and mass-market fragrances, underlining the category’s growing strategic importance for international buyers.
Italy takes centre stage
Italy has been named Country of Honour for the 2026 edition. Supported by the Italian Trade Agency, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cosmetica Italia, the initiative will create a unified Italian presence across both Cosmopack Asia and Cosmoprof Asia, highlighting the country’s manufacturing capabilities, innovation and beauty expertise.
Stronger emphasis on ingredients and education
Ingredient innovation will also receive renewed attention through the Beauty Ingredients & Formulation Asia (BIFA) Symposium, organised with the Hong Kong Society of Cosmetic Chemists. The two-day programme will explore new ingredients, formulation advances, fragrance trends and enabling technologies, while facilitating business matching between suppliers, formulators and manufacturers.
Education remains another pillar of the event, with organisers planning more than 20 CosmoTalks and Cosmo Forum sessions featuring around 50 international experts discussing consumer behaviour, emerging technologies, market trends and product innovation.
The 2025 edition attracted 64,761 attendees from 140 countries and regions, with 75% of visitors coming from outside Hong Kong, reinforcing the show’s position as one of the region’s leading international beauty business platforms.
