The trade balance continues to record new records year after year and for 2019 it will mark a further + 5.5% for a value of 2.9 billion, placing us in comparison with other sectors only after fashion and wine”
COSMOPACK, THE 2020 EDITION
From 11 to 14 June 2020, Cosmopack and Cosmo Perfumery & Cosmetics will open.
Instead from 12 to 15 June, professional distribution channels of Cosmo Hair & Nail & Beauty Salon will welcome owners of salons and beauty centers, hairstylists, hairdressers and distributors specialized in these segments.
COSMOPACK will host the whole supply chain international leading companies (22,9% of Cosmoprof 2020 exhibitors) with their latest production technologies.
In addition to pavilions 20, 15, 15A and 18, the 19PK area, the section inside hall 19, is growing. The 19PK is an area for the companies specialized in process and packing machinery. In 2021 an entire pavilion will be dedicated exclusively to this sector. This year 50 machinery and process packing providers are showcasing in Bologna.
Just in Italy, the sector has over 8 billion euros in turnover (+ 1.8% on 2018), as recently communicated by the Ucima Studies Office. It’s an Italian excellence, with successful business in Asia, the EU and Africa /Oceania.
Hall 15 is the reference area for international full-service manufacturers. The focus of Hall 18 will once again be the OEM and packaging companies.
In Hall 20, together with machinery, companies specialized in packaging will find space.
THE GARDEN OF DIVERSITY
CosmoFactory will be one of the 3 steps of THE GARDEN OF DIVERSITY, the installation of Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna 2020 focused on the concept of diversity. Diversity is a key element of the evolution of society in the next 10 years in a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural key.
The installation will represent the production, the shopping experience and the testing of a product. The first step is the Factory in Hall 19PK, the only example of a fully functional production chain recreated within a trade show, as an ode to the know-how of manufacturers and to technological revolution.
It is not only technological innovation that guides the development of the production chain. Companies specializing in solutions for the cosmetic industry must face the needs of consumers.
THE NEXT CHALLENGES FOR MANUFACTURERS
Sustainability, resource management, recycling and Zero waste are already some of the most important challenges for manufacturers. These issues lead to patents for manufacturing with 3D printing technologies, or to the research of new raw materials for primary packaging, in order to replace traditional plastics.
Customization is not just a trend among consumers, but it is influencing the business relationship with brands. Every industrial solution, from machinery to formulation, from applicator to packaging, must adapt to the specific needs of the brands, who are constantly in search of exclusive innovations that will satisfy the new generations of consumers. There are many challenges to face in the future, and Cosmopack 2020 is the opportunity to find the most suitable solutions.
