A large part of the Group’s revenue comes from the beauty sector, thanks to the constant development of the network of events led by Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna. Thanks to these activities, we have developed market know-how and trend knowledge of the beauty industry in each market, which will be positive and advantageous for South China Beauty Expo.”

Based in Shenzhen to inject new energy into the beauty industry of Greater Bay Area

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are the four central cities serving as the core engine of the regional development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, one of China's most energized economic regions that is strategically important to the overall development of the country. With growing urbanisation, the GDP of Greater Bay Area is forecast to reach US$4 trillion by 2030, equivalent to the fifth largest economy in the world in GDP terms. As the core city of the Greater Bay Area, Shenzhen is of great significance to the economic development of the Pan-Pearl River Delta region and even the hinterland. According to data released by the Shenzhen Statistics Bureau, industrial production in Shenzhen in 2018 was RMB 24,222 billion, making it the number one city in the Greater Bay Area in terms of urban economic aggregates. 

As an important base of high-tech R&D and manufacturing, as well as the influential capital of creativity, Shenzhen’s beauty industry meets the new opportunities driven by the development trend of innovative science and technology. Along with the rise of consumer groups in the new era, the general direction of future development of beauty industry will undoubtedly be the personalized needs of new generations, brand innovation, and the embrace of high technology. Based on Shenzhen and aided by the core engine of Greater Bay Area, the South China Beauty Fair will vigorously promote technological and innovative development of the beauty industry in the new era. 

Mr Sang Jingmin, Chairman of the China Beauty Expo and President of the Shanghai Convention & Exhibition Industries Association, has expressed great confidence in this. "This is an important strategic move for China Beauty Expo. The official cooperation by the organisers of the world’s top three beauty exhibitions, i.e., our cooperation with Cosmoprof of Italy and Cosmoprof Asia in organising the South China Beauty Expo in Shenzhen is a genuinely powerful alliance representing the birth of an international high quality beauty trade platform in the Greater Bay Area. We will continue adhering to the core values of “Innovation, Leading, and Service” and join hands with Chinese and even the world's cosmetics industry to create the new era of the beauty industry in Greater Bay Area!”
