KUALA LUMPUR: Cosmobeaute Malaysia and beautyexpo is set to make its grand return to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) from Sept 29 to Oct 1.
Now in its 21st edition for Cosmobeaute Malaysia and 24th edition for beautyexpo, the exhibition has grown into South-East Asia's most established and influential B2B trade platform for the beauty industry – and this year's Kuala Lumpur edition is its most ambitious yet.
As part of its commitment to engaging the beauty community across Malaysia, the exhibition has extended its footprint into East Malaysia through a dedicated roadshow in Sabah this past May. The Cosmobeaute Malaysia Borneo Festival highlighted the growing potential of the beauty industry beyond the peninsula and connecting professionals nationwide to the flagship Kuala Lumpur event.
With Malaysia's beauty and personal care sector on a strong upward trajectory, Cosmobeaute Malaysia and beautyexpo 2026 presents an unparalleled platform for brands, distributors and entrepreneurs to forge new business partnerships, access untapped markets and capitalise on the industry's momentum – right at the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
"Our core mission is to unlock new business frontiers. This year's theme – 'Innovating Beauty. Empowering Businesses. Sustaining Tomorrow' – reflects our commitment to driving meaningful progress across the entire value chain,” said Informa Markets Malaysia chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Mamat.
“As the beauty and personal care sector experiences rapid evolution, the exhibition provides the scale, sophistication and targeted networking required to translate industry demand into concrete commercial success.
"The enthusiasm we have seen from professionals across Malaysia, including from our East Malaysian community, makes one thing clear: the appetite for growth is real and Kuala Lumpur is where it all comes together."
The 2026 exhibition is poised to host an extraordinary lineup of 400 exhibitors spanning 11 countries and regions. Participating nations include Malaysia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Poland, Romania, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates.
Reflecting the exhibition’s growing international appeal, this year’s edition will showcase its largest international pavilions to date, with strong participation from China, Korea and Taiwan.
Visitors can discover the latest innovations, products, technologies, and services across eight key segments: Professional Beauty; Hair and Barber; Makeup and Cosmetics; Nail, Embroidery and Lashes; OEM/ODM; Halal Beauty; Training and Certification; as well as Spa and Wellness.
The three-day exhibition is expected to attract more than 15,000 beauty professionals and buyers from over 60 countries and regions, reinforcing Malaysia's position as a key destination for business sourcing, networking, and industry collaboration.
Responding to growing global demand for inclusive and ethical beauty solutions, the highly anticipated Halal Beauty Zone returns as a dedicated feature showcasing halal-certified beauty, skincare and personal care products. The zone offers brands a strategic platform to connect with buyers and tap into the rapidly expanding Muslim-friendly beauty market.
Complementing the exhibition floor is a curated lineup of competitions, educational sessions and networking opportunities aimed at advancing industry excellence and fostering meaningful business connections.
