A global buyer procurement event on Nov 4-5 will bring together exhibitors across the entire supply chain — raw materials, manufacturing, brands, packaging, and services. Over 10,000 professional visitors and more than 1,000 overseas buyers from Southeast Asia, North America, the Middle East, Europe, Japan and South Korea, and Central Asia are expected. Fifteen industry traceability routes will take buyers to beauty parks, R&D labs, and leading brand headquarters.

Market trend sessions on Nov 4-5 will release five beauty market trends and five overseas expansion trends, covering artificial intelligence, green bio-manufacturing, and platforms such as TikTok, TEMU, Shopee, and Mercado Libre.
