Mr. Sanchai Numbunnam, General Manager of Informa Markets Thailand, said Cosmoprof CBE ASEAN 2026 continues to advance as an international business platform for beauty industry entrepreneurs including brands, manufacturers, importers, distributors, retailers, and business owners seeking to expand opportunities in Thailand, ASEAN, and the Asia-Pacific region.
For 2026, over 700 exhibitors are expected, an 8% increase from last year, with 48% of exhibition space allocated to Thai businesses and 52% to international participants. The exhibition area is divided between Cosmoprof at 47% and Cosmopack at 53% of the total space.
This reflects Thailand's potential as both a key manufacturing base and a large consumer market in the region. Additionally, over 25,000 visitors are anticipated, including more than 550 high-quality hosted buyers from ASEAN, Asia-Pacific, and Europe, representing a more than 20% increase from the previous year.
The event will feature five international pavilions representing countries and regions: Italy, Taiwan, South Korea, China, and Thailand. This allows buyers and entrepreneurs to experience innovations, trends, and beauty products from around the world comprehensively, reinforcing the event's role as the gateway to the Southeast Asian market.
A key highlight for global brands and manufacturers this year is Italy being designated as the Country of Honour. The Italian Country Pavilion will host over 20 leading Italian companies, supported by the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) and Cosmetica Italia, showcasing the renowned quality, creativity, and innovation of Italy's globally recognized beauty industry.
Cosmoprof CBE ASEAN 2026 will take place from 24 to 26 June 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. The event welcomes entrepreneurs, investors, and beauty industry experts worldwide to explore opportunities, network, and shape the future of the beauty industry in the ASEAN region together.
