Cosmoprof CBE Asean 2025: [Show Report]

Cosmoprof CBE Asean 2025 – the fourth edition of this comparatively new B2B trade fair for the South East Asian beauty industry – was fantastic. A bigger show than last year, more retail brand exhibitors than Cosmoprof CBE Asean 2024 and Cosmoprof CBE Asean 2023 and really good energy all round.

According to organisers BolognaFiere and China Beauty Expo (CBE), Cosmoprof CBE Asean 2025 brought together 650+ exhibitors (representing over 2,000 brands) from 21 countries across a total of 25,000 sq m of exhibition space.

During the three days of the show (25th to 27th June 2025) some 23,000 visitors from 66 countries visited the fair in Queen Sirikit Convention Centre, an increase of 20% compared to last year’s visitor numbers.

Cosmoprof CBE Asean 2024: [Show Report]

The third edition of South East Asia’s first Cosmoprof fair took place from 13th to 15th June 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand. It was my second time to visit Cosmoprof CBE Asean (here is my report of last year’s show) and I enjoyed it tremendously. Compared to Cosmoprof CBE Asean 2023, exhibitor numbers increased by 50% to around 1,500+ companies and brands from 18 countries while visitor numbers grew 26% to 16,630+ visitors from 59 countries/regions. It certainly felt busier than the previous year.

There is no official country breakdown but I did a rough count of country exhibitors by colour on the information boards posted outside the exhibition halls in Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre: Around 225 exhibitors were from Thailand making this the biggest exhibitor country (as it should be!). Some 150+ brands were Chinese (almost all of these supply chain exhibitors – OEM/ODM, ingredients, machinery and especially packaging) and around 130 brands were from Korea (almost all retail brands, KOECO, IBITA et. al. were out in force again).

Cosmoprof CBE Asean 2023: [Show Report]

Cosmoprof CBE Asean is the latest additon to the Cosmoprof roster of beauty trade shows and caters to the rapidly growing South East Asian beauty markets.

Organised by Bologna Fiere, Informa Markets and Shanghai Baiwen Co. (the organisers of, amongst others, China Beauty Expo Shanghai), Cosmoprof CBE Asean 2023 took place from 14th to 16th September 2023 at Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre. Originally the fair was set to take place at IMPACT Expo on the outskirts of Bangkok but I was very happy when the organisers announced the change of venue to Queen Sirikit.

I only attended one trade show at IMPACT – Beyond Beauty ASEAN in 2019 – and it’s a nightmare to get there; no public transport and very expensive by taxi or Grab car, especially during the morning and evening rush hour. QSNCC is located in Bangkok’s city centre and connected to the subway which made the trade show commute super easy. This was my first Cosmoprof CBE Asean show.
