The time for Beauty

Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna is the B2B event for the world's leading beauty industry that - together with Cosmopack - has for 53 years, marked the rhythm of a changing world. Appointment in Bologna, from 12 to 16 March 2020.

What will the future look like? What are the challenges and changes we will be called to face from here to  2030? These questions are impacting on the evolution of the cosmetic industry, which inevitably reflects the global social and economic scenario.
Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna 2020, for 53 years the privileged observatory of “megatrends” in the world of beauty and personal care, will offer an exclusive preview of the technologies and treatments in vogue in the next 10 years.

An itinerary involving all sectors, and providing international operators and companies with suggestions and contents to better face the challenges of the future. Cosmoprof once again confirms itself as the ideal partner to tackle new projects in strategic markets and to present new products and innovative solutions to industry key players.

FOCUS ON COSMOPACK: CONFIRMATIONS AND NEWS
Cosmopack 2020, the show dedicated to contract manufacturing and private labels, process and packaging machinery, primary and secondary packaging, applicators, ingredients and raw materials, it’s the place where to discover the latest production technologies.
Industry leaders are paying more and more attention to sustainability, both in terms of formulation and research of natural ingredients, and to packaging, focusing on recycling solutions and the use of biodegradable materials.
In 2020, the spaces occupied by Cosmopack increase: in addition to pavilions 20, 15, 15A and 18, the 19PK area is growing (inside hall 19). Companies specialized in machinery and production solutions will be on show in pavilions 19PK and 20; the latter will also host the constantly expanding formulation and packaging segments.
To optimize the visit routes, the development of Cosmopack foresees an increasingly marked division between the different specialties of the supply chain, and in 2021 an entire pavilion will be dedicated exclusively to machinery.

Hall 15 will host international manufacturers specialized in full services for the industry. Focus of the hall 18 will once again be the OEM and packaging companies.

The Cosmopack format has reached an international echo: in addition to Hong Kong, with Cosmopack Asia, with an entire fair district dedicated to companies of the supply chain, the first edition of Cosmopack North America is being inaugurated this year in Las Vegas.

The Factory feature. A consolidated initiative of Cosmopack, the 2020 edition of The Factory will present a multi- stage journey, in halls 14 and 29, to show a preview of new industrial solutions which can be integrated by new instruments and trends of the retail channel. This year The Factory will present a face-foundation suitable for multiple skin tones, thus answering to a new approach focused on diversity and multicultural society.

Addendum. As for the large Cosmo | Perfumery & Cosmetics area, in addition to Perfumery and Cosmetics in Hall 19, we remember Hall 21 dedicated to the "green universe" and Hall 14 with Cosmoprime, mirror of the future of cosmetics and the retail channel, the ideal showcase for trend scouters, who come from all over the world to Bologna, in search of the latest trends.

Cosmoprime 2020 is where Lifestyle Beauty is developing: a vision of the cosmetic product focused on the person and his/her values, in a unique relationship between customers and their needs on the one side, and suppliers who adapt their product to market needs on the other. In this scenario, sustainability has become a "state of mind", rather than a trend.
Today all the sectors are called upon to present solutions with reduced impact on the environment, with a view to recycling and circularity in the use of beauty product.
In this area, the green vocation of the exhibiting companies will be marked with a sticker, “The Green Selection”, to indicate a path starting in pavilion 14 and moving to all other sectors in the next editions.

“Zoom On Emerging Prime” will host young companies entering the international business of Cosmoprof for the first time. The area is an important launch pad for meeting distributors from all over the world.
The first edition of 2019 brought to the fore very interesting productive realities, which thanks to this experience were able to confirm their presence at Cosmoprof 2020.
