The Asian cosmetics market is growing at an exponential rate, with Euromonitor predicting that by 2014 Asia’s share of the global cosmetics and toiletries market will be the same as Western Europe.
As the leading pan-Asian personal care ingredient show, in-cosmetics Asia 2012 is set to provide an authoritative voice on this growing market, as it makes a welcome return to Bangkok’s BITEC on 6-8 November.
Presenting its largest show to-date, it will bring together ingredient suppliers, cosmetic manufacturers and some of the most respected figures from within the industry to share the latest information, knowledge and expertise.
The show also signals the most extensive Workshop programme in the event’s history. Key features include a series of comprehensive Workshops; Marketing Trend sessions; Innovation Seminars and the return of the Innovation Zone, with its focus on new ingredient launches and formulations.
This year brings not one, but two industry-leading awards – with the in-cosmetics Asia Innovation Zone Best Ingredient Award 2012, as well a new partnership with the Cosmetics & Toiletries R&D Awards 2012. The new award will crown two winners, for the Best New Ingredient and Most Creative Application.
Sarah Gibson, Exhibition Director at in-cosmetics Asia, said: “This is the biggest show in our five-year history, with up to 300 exhibitors set to take their place and more than 5,000 visitors expected. in-cosmetics Asia is the must-attend event for anyone involved in the personal care industry in Asia and we’re looking forward to opening the doors to encourage innovation, education and the sharing of knowledge across the region.”
Introducing Exhibitors
As economies continue to struggle in the West, more and more companies – including Proctor & Gamble and L’Oreal – have begun to shift their business to Asia to make the most of the market within this area.
in-cosmetics Asia will showcase the very best suppliers that Asia has to offer, with key players in attendance – including BASF, Croda, DSM & Evonik. The show will also feature smaller niche companies from Thailand, South Korea, China, Japan, India and Malaysia, highlighting the very latest developments in Asia.
With over 30 first-time exhibitors taking part so far, these include At Lab Co. Ltd (South Korea) – who will demonstrate their latest developments using Microcapsule, Nanosome, Liposome botanical, extract, natural preservative and sphere products – they are joined by Emery Oleochemicals (Malaysia), Natural Sourcing (USA), Toyo Sugar Refining Co. Ltd (Japan) and Triple Nine (Thailand), among others.
Unique Elements for Visitors
The insightful Workshops will sit at the very heart of the show. They are designed and led by industry experts to enhance the commercial, scientific and marketing knowledge of visitors across specific topics of interest within the Asian market.
Topping the agenda is a Workshop dedicated to Haircare, which follows the introduction of a host of innovative products to the industry. Next on the agenda will be a workshop on the latest regulations introduced across the EU and Asia. With no central regulatory body currently in existence in Asia, industry players face the constant struggle of keeping up with the latest changes. This workshop will help guide manufacturers through the most recent regualtions developments and demonstrate how they will be affected, both now and in the future.
The Workshops will also focus on Formulation techniques, offering visitors the chance to enhance their skills and obtain up-to-date information on the latest innovations. Two workshops – The Basic Formulation Workshop and The Advanced Formulation Workshop – will be led by Dr Luigi Rigano.
The Basic Formulation Workshop will discuss the key steps of formulation strategy in the development of a new product. The workshop will include a cosmetic introduction, covering functions to ingredients categories and selection – finally moving on to the key steps in formulation strategy for new product development.
The Advanced Formulation Workshop will take discussions up a level, where attendees will be presented with a series of formulation options and their respective hurdles, and follow procedural steps on how to become a self-styled cosmetic formula designer. The workshop will conclude with on-the-spot evaluation discussions and the sharing of the sensory approach between the formulator, marketing team and the consumer.
With the latest research revealing that Asia is the world’s largest market for natural personal care products (Source: Kline), the half-day workshops will culminate with a practical session, led by Dr Barbara Olioso of Organatural Cosmetic Developments – The Interactive Natural and Organic Workshop.
During this hands-on workshop, attendees will create a natural product, while discussing the issues and challenges encountered along the way. Dr Olioso will lead discussions on the different possibilities, choices and compromises that come with creating a natural product.
in-cosmetics Asia 2012 also welcomes the return of the unique Innovation Zone – an entire area reserved especially to showcase cutting-edge products launched either at the show, or up to six months before the event. An exclusive formulations section will also feature for the first time, offering a select few exhibitors with products on display in the Innovation Zone the opportunity to share their new formulation ingredient with visitors. This has been introduced to address the huge demand from both formulators and chemists to enhance their knowledge of formulations. Mintel Beauty and Personal Care will demonstrate handpicked finished products across skincare, haircare and colour cosmetics.
The Marketing Trends programme offers an extensive series of seminars set to provide information on the latest developments from within the industry. The sessions will advise organisations on how they can best capitalise on these trends – as well as highlight case studies from specific regions.
The programme of presentations includes Beauty Trends & Innovation Move Across the World by Mintel; Trends in the Thai Cosmetic Market by Ketmanee Lertkitcha (TCMA); How to Translate Future Trends into Innovation by Antoinette Van den Berg (Future Touch) and Focus On The French Cosmetic Market by Juliette Mélédié (FEBEA).
Recent analysis on nanotechnology has shown that R&D activity in beauty and personal care items has grown more than 100% in past years. As the world’s population strives to improve their physical appearance, innovation within the sector will inevitably continue to grow. A series of 24 Innovation Seminars presentations will focus on the latest ingredients and formulation techniques to enter the industry – including The Fast Way to Get Rid of Wrinkles by Rahn; DermCom – An Activator of Epidermal – Dermal Communication for Deep Skin Rejuvenation by Mibelle and Improved Hair Conditioning Performance through Cationic Polymer Synergies by Lubrizol.
in-cosmetics Asia will take place from 6 – 8 November 2012 at BITEC, Bangkok.
Visitors who register before 29 October will gain free fast-track entry to the show; a complimentary show preview will be mailed to those who register early* - as well as a US$30 discount off all workshops**.
