Even amidst difficult circumstances, the demand for face-to-face business discussions and networking opportunities among beauty industry players remained strong, and a lot of productive business meetings were actively conducted on the exhibition floor.Even amidst difficult circumstances, the demand for face-to-face business discussions and networking opportunities among beauty industry players remained strong, and a lot of productive business meetings were actively conducted on the exhibition floor.
At the conclusion of the fair, Ms Mako Yamamoto, Executive Director of Messe Frankfurt Japan Ltd, commented: “It’s pleasing that exhibitor numbers continue to rise, even amid the pandemic. The increase reflects a growing confidence in the market in the Kyushu region and demonstrates the resilience of many SMEs in the beauty industry. If ‘resilient’ is the word to describe the exhibitors at this edition, then ‘quality’ would undoubtedly describe the visitors. Exhibitors reported meeting plenty of new faces and serious buyers, reaffirming the fair as the best place in the region for participants to find new local sales partners.”
Among many satisfied exhibitors was Mr Masahiko Watanabe, Managing Director of Beaute De Labo Co, Ltd, who commented: “We are here to promote our professional skin care cosmetics line for salons. A lot of quality visitors came to our booth and about 90% of them were new customers. We were very busy over the last two days and extremely pleased with the show. We will come back with double or triple the size of booth space next year.”
“Although the number of visitors to our booth was less than at Beautyworld Japan West last year, the quality of buyers was high,” said Mr Takafumi Kondo, Manager of the Marketing Department, Links Co, Ltd. “This ensured that we had a lot of productive business meetings. We are very satisfied.”
The fair also featured an ample amount of training and learning opportunities covering the latest techniques, management know-how and beauty trends. A total of 20 stage seminars, seven exhibitor presentations and five hands-on workshops took place.
The next edition of Beautyworld Japan Fukuoka will move to a larger venue, the Marine Messe Fukuoka, and be held on its largest ever scale. In addition, the fair will be extended from two days to three. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the fair will take place from 6 – 8 February 2023.
It will continue to contribute to the ongoing growth of the beauty and spa industry in the Kyushu region. For details on Beautyworld Japan Fukuoka and its sister fairs, please visit the show’s official website: www.beautyworldjapan.com
