Speaking as the fair concluded, Ms Mako Yamamoto, Executive Director of Messe Frankfurt Japan Ltd, commented: “These encouraging figures demonstrate that both exhibitors and visitors are truly in back-to-business mode, indicating that the industry is returning, and in some cases surpassing its pre-pandemic levels. Many new products were exhibited in the fields of cosmetics, femtech, supplements and functional foods. We are therefore confident of further growth in the industry and we expect the next edition to be even larger both in terms of exhibiting space and visitor numbers.”
Mr Atsushi Kumazawa, Senior Sales Manager, Stephen Knoll Professional Division, KOSE Corp, a first time exhibitor, reflected on his three-day experience: “Our brand is a range of premium styling and haircare products inspired by a New York aesthetic and powered by Japanese technology. We are here to meet new B2B customers from the Kansai region. The visitor flow was high and we received over 170 highly qualified leads. Beautyworld Japan Osaka definitely met our expectations.”
Equally pleased was Mr Soh Ito, Sales Manager, NBS Co Ltd, who commented: “We are a manufacturer of professional beauty equipment. We have been exhibiting at this show for many years and yet again the results have been excellent. After three very busy days and many business meetings, we have signed a lot of contracts here. We will definitely be back next year.”
An expansive range of beauty products and services for salon and retail businesses were displayed across seven product zones at this year’s fair, namely: “Cosmetics”, “Beauty equipment”, “Hair”, “Nail”, “Eyelash”, “Business support”, “Wellness+Beauty” and “NEXT”. While lifestyles have undoubtedly changed amid the pandemic, the Japanese beauty and health industry has remained vibrant, creating new value and becoming more lucrative. Participants were eager to identify the future trends that will shape the beauty industry and generate further growth.
The next edition will take place from 16 – 18 October 2023 at INTEX Osaka. For more details, please visit the official website at https://beautyworldjapan.jp.messefrankfurt.com/japan/en.html
