Reed Exhibitions has announced the launch of a new addition to its portfolio in Asia. in-cosmetics Korea will take place on 15-16 June 2015 at the COEX Exhibition Centre in Seoul and will be the country’s only exhibition and educational event of its kind for the personal care ingredients industry.
Established with support from the Korea Cosmetic Association (KCA), the two-day event will enable companies to access Korea’s thriving US$8.9 million cosmetics market in a highly targeted environment. Visitors from all corners of the Korean beauty industry – including formulators, lab and R&D professionals and purchasing managers – are expected to attend, in a bid to source innovative new products and develop strategic partnerships with suppliers.
Senior exhibition director, Lucy Gillam, said: “Korea is Asia’s third largest cosmetics market and has been growing steadily since 2009. As home to more than 1,500 cosmetic manufacturers and the world’s highest spenders per capita in the field of skin care and male grooming products, it offers a huge opportunity for ingredient suppliers to build their business in this lucrative – and sophisticated – market.
“Currently, there is no exhibition in South Korea dedicated solely to the personal care ingredients industry and from our experience with in-cosmetics Asia, we know companies are ready – and eager – for an event which caters specifically to this region. We are therefore delighted to be working with the KCA to bring in-cosmetics to this vibrant country, bridging a very important gap in the sector.”
