“The outstanding growth of Cosmoprof India reflects the development of the Indian beauty market, which according to Euromonitor International is the second best-performing market in Asia, and will reach a total revenue of more than USD 30-billion in 2025. At the same time it is the result of the hard work and commitment of our teams, reinforced by the prestige and international appeal of the Cosmoprof network all around the world,” Antonio Bruzzone, CEO of BolognaFiere, said.
Yogesh Mudras, managing director of Informa Markets in India, said, “India's beauty and wellness market is experiencing remarkable growth, with the beauty and personal care sector poised to reach USD 34-billion by 2028, up from USD 21-billion currently.
This growth is fueled by increasing online penetration and a rising preference for high-quality, premium beauty products.
This year, the event is hosting over 200 buyers from India, Cyprus, Nepal, Maldives, UAE, Uzbekistan, Sri Lanka, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. The exclusive software ‘Cosmoprof India My Match’ ensures the best connections between exhibiting companies and potential buyers, maximizing networking opportunities in Mumbai.
The 2024 edition of Cosmoprof India is characterised by new projects and initiatives enriching the experience of stakeholders attending the show. Cosmotalks will have 16 round tables scheduled and featuring strategic partners such as Asia Cosme Lab, BEAUTYSTREAMS, Centdegrés, Ecovia Intelligence, Euromonitor International, Fashion Snoops, Statista, and WGSN.
The Cosmoprof India and Cosmopack India Awards, a project curated by BEAUTYSTREAMS for the Cosmoprof network, will celebrate the most outstanding products in the Indian beauty industry, highlighting innovation, new technologies, and the latest trends among exhibiting companies across five categories — from supply chain to branded finished products.
Winners will be announced during the Cosmoprof India Awards & Networking Night on December 5, which will feature the 'Runway by Cosmoprof India'—a fashion beauty show. This prestigious event is made possible thanks to the invaluable support of its sponsors: ITA – Italian Trade Agency (Platinum Sponsor), Beauty Garage (Runway Sponsor), and Streamline (Hair Sponsor). Their commitment and partnership play a pivotal role in recognizing and celebrating excellence in the beauty industry.
This year, ONE SHOT by ON HAIR will make its debut in India, drawing inspiration from the acclaimed ON HAIR show of Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna. This remarkable event will shine a spotlight on the excellence of leading companies and teams in the hair industry. The initiative is proudly supported by Cotril (by Think Well), Aveda (by Streamline), and Orangewood (by Oran Intl.), whose contributions have been essential in bringing this vision to life.
For professionals and brands operating in the beauty salon segment, the World Massage Meeting returns for its second edition, continuously introducing new international faces in the sector.
