Cosmoprof Asia is the leading international beauty trade show in Asia-Pacific. Organised by BolognaFiere Cosmoprof and Informa Markets Asia, it typically hosts around 3,000 exhibitors, many in national pavilions from Korea, Japan, Italy, France and the US, and attracts buyers from more than 130 countries. The 2026 edition runs 11–13 November (Cosmoprof Asia) and 10–12 November (Cosmopack Asia) in Hong Kong. For beauty brands, suppliers and distributors, the Cosmoprof Asia attendee list is the most international beauty audience in Asia.

Two shows, two venues

Shuttles link the two venues, but they’re far apart, so plan your days.

Registration

Registration is free with online pre-registration (2026 deadline: 4 November). On-site registration costs HK$420 per visitor. It’s trade-only and under-16s aren’t admitted.

AI matching platform

Pre-registered visitors get access to an AI-driven matching platform to find and schedule meetings with suppliers. It’s useful for buyers. For brands and suppliers who want to reach distributors and retailers, the visitor side is still largely invisible, and that’s exactly the list an enriched pre-show file provides.

Pros and cons

Pros Cons
The most international beauty show in Asia Two venues far apart
Free with pre-registration HK$420 if you register late
AI meeting-matching tool Expensive hotels in November
Separate supply chain venue Competes with CBE Shanghai for China focus
Hong Kong is a convenient hub No under-16s

Exhibiting is expensive. An empty meeting calendar is worse. A pre-event Cosmoprof Asia list with decision-makers, companies and LinkedIn profiles gives your booth staff something to work with. Get the Cosmoprof Asia attendee list

Need Cosmoprof Asia leads ready for your CRM?

Event apps are built for browsing, not for sales teams. They cap connections, hide data behind logins and rarely let you export anything. I pull attendee, exhibitor and speaker data from the app and the event website, enrich every profile and hand you a clean file before the doors open, so your reps can book meetings in advance and follow up properly afterwards.
