The first Cosme Toyko (International Cosmetics Trade Fair) and the third Cosme Innovation (International Cosmetics Development Expo & Conference) were held in Tokyo 27-29 June 2012.
Together they gathered 324 Exhibitors and 16,936 visitors from 43 countries, which exceeds the previous show (141 exhibitors and 9,069 visitors in 2011). Cosme Tokyo was newly launched this year which made the event Japan’s only trade fair covering the whole cosmetics industry, from ingredients, OEM, containers/packaging to finished products. The show was welcomed by the Japanese cosmetics industry as a central hub of the latest trends and products, which gave the visitors both a comprehensive overview of the whole industry and detailed information in each field. Of course, it was not only the Japanese market that welcomed this show. This year, the number of overseas exhibitors has increased considerably, as well as a large number of visitors from all around Asia seeking Japan’s high quality ingredients, popular ‘made-in-Japan cosmetics’ and the latest trends from Tokyo. Becoming a larger, more comprehensive and more international business platform for the cosmetics industry, the show became a bridge between overseas companies and the world’s second largest cosmetics market, Japan. Cosme Innovation specialises in cosmetics development such as ingredients, OEM, containers and packaging, etc. Gathering quality visitors from various cosmetics companies, the show has earned a reputation as a substantive business platform to acquire new customers and business opportunities.
