The 16th International Cosmetics, Beauty, Hair Exhibition – BeautyEurasia offered its exhibitors the chance to meet with international buyers and industry experts, present their products to large audiences, and establish new business partnerships in 2021, as it has been for 15 years. Despite the changes in social behavior and the fact that people stayed at home for a long time due to the global pandemic, the cosmetics industry has continued its uninterrupted growth compared to last year. Although store closures led to a decrease in sales for a while in the early stages of the outbreak, the cosmetics sector revived thanks to the rapid increase in the use of e-commerce and continued to contribute to the country’s economy. The gradual decline in imports and the rise in exports during the pandemic period played a major role in ending the exhibition with significant sales figures.
Expressing his satisfaction for the 16th International Cosmetics, Beauty and Hair Exhibition -BeautyEurasia, Regional Director of Hyve Group, Kemal Ülgen added; “the cosmetics sector, which has been growing each passing year in Turkey, continues to contribute to the country’s economy despite the COVID-19 pandemic, which has shaken up the whole world with its impacts on all aspects of life. According to the report published by the Ministry of Trade in March 2021, the cosmetics sector, which grows 10% per year, has reached a size of TRY 15 billion. The continuous decrease in imports and the gradual growth in exports in cosmetics drew attention as the most important thing that distinguishes the sector from other sectors in Turkey. “
