Cosmoprof Asia is set to launch a new strategic business matchmaking event in the Middle East. Dubbed Cosmoprof Connect Dubai, it is scheduled for April 14-15, 2026</strong>.
Designed to facilitate one-on-one business rekations between global beauty brands and top-tier Middle East, North Africa (MENA) and Central Asia buyers, the two-day B2B event promises a curated, high-impact networking experience for companies eager to expand into these markets – one of the industry’s fastest-growing segments and projected to hit USD 60 billion by 2026.
“The Cosmoprof Network has always stood for discovery and innovation,” said Enrico Zannini, General Manager of BolognaFiere Cosmoprof. “With Cosmoprof Connect Dubai, we are unlocking an entire region’s potential for the beauty industry community. It is a bold step forward that connects East and West in unprecedented ways.”
Ingredients & fragrance take centre stage in Hong Kong
For its part, running from 11-13 November at AsiaWorld-Expo (for cosmetic supply chain) and 12-14 November at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (for branded finished products), Cosmoprof Asia will feature two major new initiatives this year: Beauty Ingredients & Formulation Asia (BIFA), a conference-led event on the one hand, and Fragrance Avenue, a dedicated exhibit zone spotlighting the booming fragrance market, on the other hand.
BIFA, launching 11–12 November 2025, at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong and co-located with Cosmopack Asia, will be a first-of-its-kind scientific conference and expo co-hosted with the Hong Kong Society of Cosmetic Chemists (HKSCC) and the China Society of Cosmetic Chemists (China SCC). Supported by the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC), the event will bring together R&D experts, chemists, and industry leaders to explore new frontiers in beauty ingredients, responding to the APAC region’s booming demand for science-driven beauty solutions.
Fragrance Avenue area will feature a section dedicated to niche fragrances, enhanced by the expertise of Esxence, the internationally renowned event for artistic perfumery.
Both initiatives will enhance the exhibition offerings and content at Cosmoprof Asia 2025
