According to Euromonitor, the cosmetics market in India, with around 1.4 billion inhabitants, is one of the fastest growing markets worldwide (2016: + 9.2%). According to the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ASSOCHAM), the market volume is estimated at US $ 6.5 billion in 2016 and is expected to rise to US $ 20 billion by 2025. The import requirements are very high and the approval of the products is associated with enormous legal requirements. “Made in Germany” is a mark of quality for manufacturers of cosmetics.We therefore expect high demand for German products in India as well.

SILVIA MUSIANI
CEO, Ghiaroni & Musiani Ltd (British Pavilion)

Why British companies should exhibit at Cosmoprof India 2021?
UK and India tied up the Enhanced Trade Partnership (ETP) in February 2021, that will significantly raise the volume of trade and investments between India and Great Britain.
Common Law, English-speaking country, sharing common cultural and educational programmes: India represents an amazing chance for British companies to invest and trade into.
Cosmoprof India Mumbai represents the perfect kick-off platform for meeting business partners, distributors and agents to start to create a profitable sales network with qualified professionals.
With a traditional affinity for beauty, Indian consumers have developed a strong interest in cosmetic products “Made in Britain”: more connection online, spike in spending power and more disposable income, young generation more exposed to trendy international brands and buying from ecommerce sites this growing concern means a huge potential for British companies.

PUSHKARAJ SHENAI
CEO, Lakme Lever

The pandemic has accelerated the change in consumer expectations from beauty brands across the globe. Consumer appetite for new experiences, elevated benefits, science backed delivery systems, clean beauty and sustainability can be satiated by accelerating the pace of innovation and digital transformation. Today, more than ever, local and global have to work in sync to thrive on this fast paced change. Cosmoprof India brings the world to India and showcases India to the world – the right platform to facilitate the synchrony of global and local. That, to me, is the Cosmoprof India advantage!


ASHOK CHATURVEDI
Chairman & Managing Director (CEO), Uflex

As second-most populous country globally, India has a close affinity to beauty, be it in its culture, diversity of its people. From Ayurveda to goodness of local, natural and organic products, the Indian cosmetics market backed by a surge in home-grown brands continues to transform amid trends and generations becoming the fastest growing cosmetics market in the world. As a responsible brand, UFlex has embraced the latest trends of beauty consumption which is reflected in our new wave of FLEXITUBES enhanced decoration options, brand personalization and anti-counterfeit features enabled by holography.
With consumer demand and global regulations pushing for more responsible and sustainable packaging, cosmetic buyers are becoming ever more conscious about their choices. From cruelty-free to vegan cosmetics, the industry has embraced sustainability at all touchpoints not only in the ingredients but also in its packaging. FLEXITUBES has increased sustainability quotient and customer convenience with different sustainable packaging solutions for tube packaging.
COSMOPROF will offer big opportunities and possibilities to convertors like us, brands and consumers in India to share their learnings and better the industry for the world.


ALOK KAMAT
Director Aero Pharma Pvt. Ltd. | Partner Maxima Solutions

Cosmoprof needs no introduction, and there’s little I could say to do their legacy justice. But without a doubt, they unite beauty industry trendsetters under a canopy of competition and fellowship.
On a personal note, kudos to Cosmoprof for bringing us all together during 2020.
Although there was a ban on in-person gatherings, they held a virtual exhibition, saying to the world “the show must go on.”
Maxima Solutions is looking forward to seeing you face-to-face in December 2021.


MANISH TANEJA
Co-founder & CEO, Purplle.com

India’s beauty industry currently stands at ₹73,000 crores and has been on a robust upward trajectory that is likely to grow at 8% CAGR over the next five years. (according to a Jefferies report citing Euromonitor data). A global B2B Beauty trade show like Cosmoprof coming to India is a great way to celebrate and showcase what the Indian Beauty Industry has to offer to the world. As a part of one of India’s leading beauty e-commerce platforms Purplle.com, for me, it is exciting to be a part of a trade show that celebrates beauty with such passion by bringing together companies and professionals from across the globe. The platform gives you access to learn from some of the best minds in the business, exchange ideas, strengthen networks and drive innovation. Look forward to some incredible experiences Cosmoprof is going to bring to India, at an even higher record-breaking scale in the 2021 edition.


MRUNMAY MEHTA
Category Leader, Beauty, Amazon India

Cosmoprof has created a valuable global platform for brands, retailers and suppliers to explore, learn and connect. Specifically for India, with a large population of 1.4BN which is both young, and witnessing economic growth, Beauty is an industry in India which is still at Day 1 for retailers and brands alike. Cosmoprof is a unique partner in the Beauty industry, given its global reach and respect it commands in the beauty and personal care ecosystem, and I’m excited to see it bringing India to the world, and the world of Beauty, to India. We at Amazon Beauty, are delighted to partner with Cosmoprof and explore collaborations both global and local.


SAMIR SRIVASTAV
CEO, Jean Claude Biguine Salons & Spa

Absolutely, it’s a top B2B show for the fast-growing beauty industry in India. Having been an avid visitor and invitee at the past many shows in Hong Kong and Bologna, I was delighted to see India on the world beauty market when Cosmoprof India was held in 2018 followed by an even larger exhibition in 2019.
I think It is a great platform for the domestic and international beauty community to come together for the economic evolution of the beauty & cosmetics sector in the country. It paves way for licensed professionals to access curated offerings in innovative education, latest trends, breakthroughs from the industry’s leading brands, and also formulate creative connections. It serves as a launchpad for budding brands with revolutionary technologies, product innovations and new channels for distribution, packaging, and manufacturing.
I look forward to the upcoming edition creating new synergies that will help the industry face the market transformations led by Covid-19.
