The sixth edition of Cosmoprof India opened at Mumbai’s Jio World Convention Centre, reaffirming its position as the country’s premier B2B beauty event and as a strategic launchpad for global brands eyeing one of the world’s fastest-growing beauty markets. Organised by Cosmoprof India Ltd, a joint venture between BolognaFiere Cosmoprof and Informa Markets India, the 2025 edition marks a powerful new chapter in the show’s evolution, mirroring both the rapid transformation of India’s beauty landscape and the surging international spotlight on the region.
Since its debut in 2019, Cosmoprof India has grown at an exceptional pace, nearly doubling its footprint. The 2025 edition spans 24,000 square meters, an 8% increase over last year, spread across five dynamic halls that house the full beauty value chain. A record 353 exhibitors and 800 brands from 23 countries and regions are participating this year, with an impressive 32% making their debut. Global interest continues to climb, underscored by the fact that 53% of exhibitors are international — a 7% rise in exhibition area compared to 2024.
Reflecting the diversity of the beauty sector, Cosmopack India accounts for 59% of the show, bringing together innovators across raw materials, ingredients, machinery, packaging, contract manufacturing and private label. Meanwhile, Cosmoprof India, representing 41% of the space, showcases finished products across perfumery, cosmetics, toiletries, spa, salon, hair and nail, catering to both professional and retail markets. More than 14,000 visitors are expected to explore the event’s expanding business opportunities and trend-forward offerings.
