admin Growth in the beauty and personal care industry reached a decade high last year and is set to continue unabated, according to Euromonitor. In fact, the value of the global cosmetic products market is expected to reach USD 805.61 billion by 2023, propelled by major trends including conscious consumerism, advancements in beauty technology and the rise of ‘skintellectuals’ – a new breed of consumer who is more knowledgeable than ever before. And it is against this backdrop that in-cosmetics Global, the world’s leading personal care ingredients event, announces its return to Barcelona in 2020, celebrating 30 years of industry innovation.
The event will be hosted in the cosmopolitan capital of Spain’s Catalonia region for the sixth time in the show’s three-decade history, having previously taken place in other major cities across Europe, including London, Paris, Milan and Amsterdam, since its launch in 1990. The world-renowned event – which welcomed over 12,000 visitors in 2019 offers R&D professionals an unrivalled opportunity to source the latest ingredients, network with key suppliers, and learn about the trends shaping the beauty and personal care industry.
At the core of the event is the exceptional line-up of exhibitors, many of which return to showcase their latest innovative ingredients and services at the show year-on-year. For its debut, in-cosmetics hosted just 60 exhibitors – a number which has grown more than fourteen-fold, with 843 companies taking part in the 2019 edition. Continuing this momentum, next year the exhibitor line-up is expected to include 95% of the industry’s biggest names who have showcased their products at in-cosmetics Global for decades, including the likes of Croda, Ashland and Clariant. In addition, the 2020 show is set to welcome a host of first-time exhibitors, ensuring that visitors have the opportunity to meet suppliers of all shapes and sizes including some of the freshest faces in the industry. Alongside a raft of top suppliers, in-cosmetics Global has become synonymous with opportunities to soak up market intelligence including trends, facts, figures, market analysis and research data from all corners of the personal care industry. First launched at the turn of the millennium, the Marketing Trends Theatre still continues to command many of the industry’s foremost thought leaders to share their expertise twenty years on. Roziani Zulkifli, Exhibition Director of in-cosmetics Global, commented: “Over the last 30 years, in-cosmetics Global has built its reputation as one of the industry’s biggest and most important dates in the diary. The show truly has become a hotbed of innovation and the core destination for important networking and business meetings. We’re incredibly proud of our history, and much like the industry upward trajectory of growth, we’re excited to see the event go from strength-to-strength every year. We can’t wait to show you what we have in store for 2020!”
