The global cosmetic industry is valued at $427 billion, according to the 2023-2027 beauty report by the analysis company McKinsey & Company. This turnover is expected to increase by 6% annually, reaching $580 billion by 2027.

Now in its 55th edition, the leading B2B event for the cosmetic industry is still recognized as a unique kaleidoscope to discover the industry’s transformation. It excels in both excellent quality of its exhibition offer and the most interesting innovations from around the world, as well as inspiring training sessions hosting prestigious experts and opinion leaders.

The 2024 edition is set to be an unmissable experience for suppliers, manufacturers, brand owners, buyers, distributors, retailers, and operators interested in new solutions for their business development.
