The Asian cosmetics market will be abuzz at in-cosmetics Asia 2014, which now boasts a Japan Country Focus, an Interactive Formulation Lab and a Fragrance Zone. The event will return to Bangkok on Nov. 4-6, 2014.
Asia-Pacific is one of the fastest growing cosmetic products markets in the world, with growth and technological progress driven by the demand for color cosmetics, hair care and most crucially skin care products, all of which will lead to the region accounting for 28% of the global cosmetics and toiletries market by the end of 2014. This year’s exhibition will feature more than 400 exhibitors providing visitors with a chance to have face-to-face business discussions with global manufacturers about the latest ingredients and technological advances. Returning this year is BASF (Germany), BioSpectrum (South Korea), Gattefossé (France) Lowenstein (USA) and Namsiang (Thailand).
