Mumbai didn’t just host a beauty trade show this December—it staged a global celebration of innovation, fashion, sustainability, and collaboration. Cosmoprof India 2025, held from December 4–6 at the Jio World Convention Centre, concluded on a resounding high, successfully bringing together beauty leaders, brands, and buyers from across Italy, South Korea, Brazil, Great Britain, Australia, and beyond—alongside a powerful presence of India’s rapidly rising beauty brands. The outcome was clear: India has firmly arrived on the world’s beauty and personal care map.
Organised by Informa Markets India Pvt. Ltd. in joint venture with BolognaFiere Cosmoprof, the sixth edition of the exhibition showcased the unstoppable momentum of India’s B2B beauty ecosystem, reinforcing the country’s growing relevance as a global beauty brand powerhouse.
Where Global Beauty Met Indian Brilliance
Spread across an expansive 24,000 square metres, Cosmoprof India 2025 featured 353 exhibitors and 800 brands from 23 countries, making it one of the most internationally represented beauty trade events on Indian soil. With nine international country pavilions, Italy took centre stage as the Country of Honour, spotlighting its legendary excellence in design, innovation, and high-quality manufacturing.
From advanced skincare and haircare innovations to cutting-edge sustainable packaging, futuristic perfumery, and professional salon solutions, the exhibition floor buzzed with discovery and deal-making. Sustainability emerged as a defining theme—eco-friendly tubes, cleaner formulations, and conscious brand storytelling shaped many of the most talked-about launches.
Live hairstyling shows, immersive product demonstrations, and structured B2B networking through the Cosmoprof Buyer Program ensured meaningful interactions between brands, manufacturers, and global buyers—further cementing India’s position as a strategic hub in the international beauty supply chain.
A Glittering Opening Night of Beauty, Fashion & Global Glamour
Day One unfolded with cinematic flair as Cosmoprof India hosted its prestigious Awards & Networking Night, celebrating product innovation and industry excellence on a truly global scale. The evening reached its most enchanting moment with a glittering runway showcase by designer Sonaakshi Raaj, whose elegant eveningwear collection left the audience enraptured.
The runway wasn’t just a fashion spectacle—it became a powerful symbol of how Indian fashion, beauty, and global business now move in tandem. For visiting international delegates, it offered a dazzling introduction to India’s glitz, glamour, craftsmanship, and creative confidence, setting the tone for three unforgettable days of beauty-led business.
India’s Beauty Market in Global Spotlight
Cosmoprof India 2025 arrived at a defining time for the industry. With India’s beauty and personal care market projected to cross USD 33 billion in 2025 and USD 39 billion by 2030, the exhibition reflected powerful shifts toward premiumisation, digital commerce, clean beauty, calming skincare, and technology-driven personalisation.
From AI-led salon tech and wellness-focused fragrance blends to professional grooming innovations and luxury packaging solutions, the show revealed a future-forward Indian consumer who is global in taste and conscious in choice. With over 226 million digital beauty shoppers expected in 2025, omnichannel and D2C strategies dominated conversations across the show floor.
A Landmark Success for Informa Markets India & the Global Beauty Ecosystem
For Informa Markets India Pvt. Ltd., Cosmoprof India’s continued rise signals a strategic triumph—building a world-class beauty B2B platform that grows bigger, stronger, and more globally relevant with every edition. Each year, the exhibition not only attracts leading international brands but also elevates homegrown Indian players from manufacturing strength to global brand leadership.
With initiatives like CosmoTalks, One Shot by On Hair, Indian Start-Up zone, Cosmo Academy – EmpowHER in Beauty, and the ever-prestigious Cosmoprof & Cosmopack India Awards, the 2025 edition seamlessly blended business, education, innovation, social impact, and creative excellence under one vibrant roof.
As the final lights dimmed on Cosmoprof India 2025, one message echoed loud and clear across the global beauty fraternity: India is no longer an emerging beauty market—it is a defining one. With international participation at an all-time high and Indian brands commanding global attention, the exhibition has firmly established itself as South Asia’s most influential beauty B2B platform.
With anticipation already building for the 2026 edition, the world now looks to India not just as a market—but as a global beauty innovation leader in the making.
