Cosmobeauté Malaysia & BeautyExpo 2026 Returns to KLCC, Unlocking New Business Opportunities and B2B Excellence
Cosmobeauté Malaysia & beautyexpo is set to make its grand return to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) from 29 September to 1 October 2026. Now in its 21st edition for Cosmobeauté Malaysia and 24th edition for beautyexpo, the exhibition has grown into Southeast 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 Cosmobeauté 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, Cosmobeauté Malaysia & 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.
The 2026 exhibition is poised to host an extraordinary line-up 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 mainland China, Korea and Taiwan.
Visitors can discover the latest innovations, products, technologies and services across eight key segments: Professional Beauty; Hair & Barber; Makeup & Cosmetics; Nail, Embroidery & Lashes; OEM/ODM; Halal Beauty; Training & Certification; and Spa & 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 line-up of competitions, educational sessions and networking opportunities aimed at advancing industry excellence and fostering meaningful business connections, including:
- The 6th Malaysia Glory Cup International Beauty Competition
- Bloom & Groom: Skin Management Competition 2026
- Cosmobeauté Artistry Competition themed “Dare to Style 2.0: Trendy & Forward”
- Industry Seminars and Knowledge Sessions
- VIP Buyer Programme
- Spend & Redeem Campaign
The exhibition continues to receive strong support from leading industry associations, including the Kuching Association of Beauty Therapy & Cosmetology (KABTAC), Malaysian Hairdressing Association (MHA), the Malaysia Cosmetology Chamber of Commerce (PAMM) and the United Asian Hairdressers Association (UAHA), among many others.
