WHY ATTEND COSMOPROF INDIA
The growth of Cosmoprof India year after year reflects the impressive development of the region. Today, India is the most populated country in the world, with over 1.3 billion people, and it has become a strategic market. India is the 4th largest beauty market in the world in terms of purchase volumes, and it is expected to grow up to 40% by 2026.
Personal care, make-up and skincare are the fastest-growing sectors, with a CAGR rate of 4.5%, but fragrances are increasing their sales percentage, too. Apart from being a productive hub for beauty brands, owing to the development of a local supply chain, India is land for exports from the UK, China, UAE, US, EU, Singapore, and Korea.
Traditionally devoted to Yoga and Ayurveda, India is a reference hub for wellbeing and holistic beauty brands. Strong attention to sustainable practices and proposals is catching up, too, with younger generations being the drivers of the growth of green and clean beauty brands. Further to that, Cosmoprof India is a reference event as well for neighbouring countries such as Nepal, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. According to Euromonitor International, Bangladesh is one of the best-performing emerging markets, with an expected annual growth rate of 9% in the next four years (2024 to 2028).
As a result, Cosmoprof India is the reference hub for stakeholders interested in business opportunities in a region with great potential that is still to be explored.
SPOTLIGHT ON TRENDS
For stakeholders looking for discovering new trends in the region, Cosmoprof India will present special exhibition areas presenting the
most influential products categories and innovations.
A dedicated project for the Natural and Organic sector will be devoted to Ayurveda. The most impacting proposals and treatments featuring the ancient Indian tradition and culture will guide attendees across an immersive experience to the roots of beauty in India.
Male Grooming will be another key topic. With the gradual economic improvement of the population, men are taking better care of their aspect, and men’s products are recording a significant boom. Specialised brands will promote new proposals for men, such as skin care, beard care and hair care.
Special attention will be paid to Medical Beauty, which features the latest and most innovative devices and technologies for professionals. This category reflects the strong interest of the local market in medical devices and treatments, which is having a significant impact on beauty salons.
As part of Cosmopack India, the Ingredients Zone will feature the best proposals in raw materials for beauty products and fragrances,
highlighting the attention on traditional ingredients.
SPECIAL EVENTS AND EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS
Together with a rich exhibition offer, Cosmoprof India provides high-quality educational sessions with the participation of prestigious

To discover the latest innovations and novelties, the Cosmoprof Awards and Cosmopack Awards India are must-see events at Cosmoprof India.

Additionally, the World Massage Meeting returns for its second edition, continuously introducing new international faces in the sector. This event aims to bring Ayurveda and Western practices closer together, recognising and respecting the fundamental principles of both traditions. The goal is to generate a synergy, rather than a "fusion" between these two distinct approaches.
