The 57th edition of Cosmoprof, the international event that brings together all players in the cosmetics industry, opened yesterday March 26, amid heavy rain, once again confirming its role as one of the beauty industry’s key global meeting points. The 57th edition is expected to welcome more than 250,000 visitors and over 3,000 exhibitors from 64 countries, representing more than 10,000 brands, in a sold-out exhibition that reflects the continued strength and international reach of the sector.
Also this year, cosmetic packaging will be firmly in the spotlight thanks to Cosmopack, the supply-chain-focused exhibition running alongside Cosmoprof. With more than 600 companies from 37 countries, Cosmopack once again confirms its position as a key platform for the international beauty supply chain, spanning ingredients, contract manufacturing, machinery, and packaging solutions.
The 2026 edition underlines the growing strategic relevance of packaging and manufacturing technologies within the wider beauty ecosystem. Cosmopack extends across several halls, bringing together packaging, private label, contract manufacturing, ingredients and processing technologies in an integrated sourcing environment designed to connect brands with suppliers and innovation partners from across the market. Perhaps more than in previous years, the booths stand out for their sophisticated design and vibrant colors,
Within this framework, Cosmopack remains one of the clearest indicators of where the beauty industry is heading: toward more integrated supply chains, stronger industrial partnerships, and innovation that links formulation, production, and packaging. As Cosmoprof opens its doors tomorrow, Bologna is once again set to become the international stage for the next developments in beauty manufacturing and packaging.
