The 57th edition of Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, scheduled for March 26-29, 2026, celebrates over fifty years of the beauty industry, emphasizing its evolution beyond superficiality. The event, set in Bologna, serves as a global hub attracting various stakeholders from the cosmetics, fragrances, and beauty technology sectors. With the cosmetics industry alone valued at 41 billion euros, the beauty trade show represents not only a significant economic force but also a generator of 440,000 jobs worldwide.

Cosmoprof has transformed from a traditional trade fair into an international platform for dialogue, reflection, and long-term relationship building. As noted by Gianpiero Calzolari, president of BolognaFiere, it's a space where the global beauty industry can come together to showcase products and solutions, as well as discuss market changes, anticipate trends, and forge connections that transcend geographic and sectoral boundaries. This evolution underscores the importance of innovation within the beauty industry, as it continuously adapts to consumer preferences and technological advancements.

Looking ahead, the 57th edition is poised to address the growing complexities of the beauty market and facilitate discussions around sustainability, inclusivity, and digital transformation. These themes are increasingly critical as the industry seeks to align with modern consumer values while fostering a sustainable future. Thus, Cosmoprof not only celebrates the past but also paves the way for a relevant and dynamic future in the world of beauty.
