Following this, the industry’s foreign trade growth data has created a positive atmosphere for the future.

Hundreds of brands have reserved their places for the next BeautyEurasia. Applications for participation are still ongoing, and the capacity is 70% full already.

Expenditures in the Domestic Market Continue to Increase
While exports and imports of cosmetic products were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the foreign trade data of cosmetic products continued to be shaped by the after-effects of the pandemic in 2021. In the first nine months of 2021, exports decreased by 0.5 percent and amounted to $1.49 billion, while imports increased by 4.3 percent in the same period of 2021, amounting to $703.9 million.
The restrictions and lockdowns in the first quarter of 2021 continued to limit the expenditures in the domestic market. On the other hand, the re-openings as of the second quarter of the year and the re-opening of the tourism sector in the summer have also led to an increase in the expenditures. In September, the opening of schools and the return to work increased expenditure. For this reason, expenditures in the domestic market increased by 27.5 percent in the first nine months of 2021 and reached up to 13.0 billion TL. In the first nine months of the year, the prices of cosmetics and care products increased by 24.0 percent compared to the same period of the previous year. In this respect, since a significant part of the increase in expenditures in the first nine months stemmed from price increases, the real expenditure increase was 3.5 percent.
Cosmetic Products Export from Turkey to Italy Brings Nearly 10 Million Dollars Annually
In the first nine months of 2019, exports from Turkey to Italy amounted to 6.44 million dollars, and in the first nine months of 2020 it was 6.95 million dollars. In the first nine months of 2021, it increased by 0.7 percent to $ 7.0 million. The most exported products to Italy were cleaning and hygiene products, colored cosmetics, perfumes and deodorants, and personal care products.
Turkey imports more than 50 million dollars of cosmetic products from Italy annually. Imports amounted to 44.32 million dollars in the first nine months of 2019, and 38.88 million dollars in the first nine months of 2020. In the first nine months of 2021, imports decreased by 1.0 percent to 38.49 million dollars. The most imported products from Italy were hair care products, colored cosmetics, cleaning and hygiene products, personal care products, packaging and labeling machines, and perfumes and deodorants.
Emphasizing that the exhibition they organized this year was very productive, Hyve Group Regional Director Kemal Ülgen said, “The cosmetics industry, which has grown significantly in Turkey, continues to contribute to the country’s economy despite the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected the whole world in every aspect of life. We made a great contribution to the country’s economy and the cosmetics industry at our 16th BeautyEurasia we held between 16-18 June 2021. We got to meet with nearly 150 invited buyers from 56 countries both at the fairground and online through the Hyve Connect Matchmaking System. More than 2500 business meetings were made between the participants and the buyers, and a direct contribution was made to the exports of the cosmetics industry. At the same time, the number of visitors in BeautyEurasia increased by 58% compared to 2019 and 11.623 people visited the fair this year. Our exhibitors are very excited about next year. The places already reserved and the interest shown in the exhibition clearly show this enthusiasm. In 2022, we aim to be the driving force for the sector by having even higher figures and to provide added value at a significant level.”
