Cosmoprof Asia takes place at Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre in Hong Kong from 11 November to 13 November 2026. Leading beauty and cosmetics trade event in Asia.

What the fair covers

Cosmetics, personal care products, packaging and salon equipment are covered. Leading beauty and cosmetics trade event in Asia. That shapes both the exhibitor mix and the questions worth preparing before you arrive.

Dates, venue and getting there

The fair runs from 11 November to 13 November 2026 at Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre in Hong Kong. It runs for 3 days, which is short, so deciding which halls to prioritise before arriving makes a difference. Hong Kong is straightforward for international visitors: visa requirements are lighter than for mainland China for many nationalities, English is widely used in business, and the airport connects directly to the exhibition district. Many buyers use it as a base for trips into Guangdong province.

Planning your visit

Consumer product buying is physical. Handling the item, checking the finish under exhibition lighting and comparing two similar pieces side by side are things a catalogue cannot replace. Most buyers work a shortlist of halls, collect samples, and use the fair to narrow a long supplier list to a few worth visiting at their factories. For Cosmoprof Asia, that means preparing ahead of the November dates and arriving with a target list of stands.

Language and interpreting support

English is widely used in business in Hong Kong, and most exhibitors will be comfortable in it. Language support is still worth considering if your suppliers are mainland manufacturers exhibiting here, since the working language at their factories will be Mandarin and technical discussions may need it. An interpreter already working in Hong Kong saves further time simply by knowing the venue and how to move around it.

After the fair

Consumer goods are where sample and production quality diverge most often. Colour can shift between batches, materials can be substituted, and finish quality varies with the production line rather than the factory. Ask for samples drawn from the actual production run, and arrange an inspection during production or before shipment on a first order.
