Leading companies and suppliers to the cosmetics industry will meet in Munich from October 20 to 21, 2021, for the CosmeticBusiness trade show. A barometer of trends and a springboard for emerging initiatives, the show will offer a comprehensive overview of what's new in the sector with components, production and packaging.
"A new edition of CosmeticBusiness at last! We're delighted to be meeting in person in Munich. Over 270 exhibitors and represented companies, including 30 new exhibitors, are presenting their latest products in the three halls of the MOC in Munich. The number of foreign exhibitors is 33 %, from 19 countries," explains Markus Geisenberger, director of the Leipzig Trade Fair. The expectation of our exhibitors is an important signal for all participants. It also confirms the importance of CosmeticBusiness as the main meeting place for the cosmetics industry and its suppliers in the German-speaking world. It's the place to be to develop new ideas together and exchange ideas with suppliers.
An Innovation Corner
The Innovation Corner, located in Hall 1, will be the gateway to the show's trends and innovations. This is where exhibitors will present their new products and innovations as part of the special Spotlight exhibition. Visitors can also take a look into the future with CB Impulse 2022 Beyond. This thematic dossier, which presents various trend colors, can be used as a working tool at the show. The publication has been designed as an orientation tool on the color harmonies that will be used in product design in 2022 and 2023.
Color trend expert and analyst Niels Holger Wien will present the latest trends at the "Prospects & Impulse 2022 Beyond" conference. He will be available to visitors three times a day at the Innovation Corner as part of the "Meet the Expert" offer.
Themed itineraries for easy orientation
The CosmeticBusiness thematic itineraries will enable visitors to find directly the exhibitors offering the product they are looking for. By consulting the exhibitor and product directory using filters, visitors will be able to organize their visit according to their interests in advance of the show.
Sustainability will be at the heart of the show, and will be evident in all areas, from components to production and packaging. Visitors following the "green route" at CosmeticBusiness will find it easy to discover the ecological and sustainable solutions offered by exhibitors.
The Innovation Route leads to all exhibitors presenting innovations at the Spotlight exhibition in Hall 1. The focus will be on innovations presented for the first time at CosmeticBusiness.
Packaging trends - sustainability as an opportunity
What packaging trends are shaking up the cosmetics industry, and what prospects are emerging thanks in particular to new materials, recycling and circular economy systems? Andreas Schabert, Managing Director of brandback GmbH, will address these questions at a conference on Wednesday, October 20, 2021, starting at 4:15 pm. Designers, brand owners and other interested listeners will learn at this conference how to respond to these trends and develop concepts tailored to their brand and company.
