Commenting on the new partnership, Mr Detlef Braun, Member of the Executive Board of Messe Frankfurt, said: “The beauty industry offers a wide range of opportunities for businesses to thrive and cater to the needs of consumers. In this regard, Taiwan offers yet another strategic location for the expansion of our Beautyworld network. In addition to an attractive business environment with a competitive retail landscape, consumers here are savvy and actively seek out innovative and diverse products for skincare, cosmetics and haircare.”
Taiwan has become a more prominent player in the beauty industry in recent years, particularly in Taiwanese skincare across Asia, with local brands gaining popularity abroad. At the same time, the demand for international skincare, cosmetics and haircare products has also garnered the attention of overseas brands. Statistics show that the beauty and personal care market in Taiwan is projected to generate a revenue of USD 5.58 billion in 2024 and is expected to experience an annual growth rate of over 4% (CAGR 2024 – 2028)[1]. Since the onset of Covid-19, consumers have increasingly prioritised back-to-basic skincare, body care, and haircare products. Moreover, medical channels have experienced significant growth in skincare product sales, and there has been a sustained increase in online shopping. These factors are all beneficial for the industry’s further development, emphasising the heightened need for an international platform like the enhanced Beauty Expo in Taipei now more than ever.
As a gateway for trade and business exchange, the 2025 show expects to attract 230 companies to showcase their latest products across an exhibition area of over 11,100 sqm. The main categories include hair, skincare, cosmetics, nail, lash, medical beauty, scalp care and biotech, amongst other products. It will cater to professionals and personnel from beauty, and hairdressing salons, nail studios, hotels, spas, the retail and wholesale trade, as well as students enrolled in professional beauty academies.
Ms Julia Uherek, Vice President Consumer Goods Fairs, Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH adds: “Messe Frankfurt has held a series of international trade fairs under the Beautyworld banner for over 25 years. The portfolio encompasses eight distinctive events in Dubai, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Osaka, Riyadh, Tashkent and Tokyo, with the recent addition to the network being Beauty Expo in Taipei in 2025. We look forward to building a close partnership with UDN.COM on this latest endeavour. I am confident that our overseas resources, combined with their local expertise, puts Beauty Expo in Taipei in a good position to begin its new chapter in the market.”
Mr Apollo Sun, CEO of UDN.COM explains: “Beauty Expo stands as one of the longest and most-established trade fair brands under our remit. As we look ahead to 2025, we will enter a new chapter by partnering with Messe Frankfurt. The company has a world-class network in the beauty industry and a leading reputation as a trade fair organiser. This strategic move will inject our show with enhanced international resources, thereby fostering the growth of Taiwan’s beauty market and facilitating import and export opportunities.”
With a widely recognised media background and network in Taiwan, UDN.COM has expanded its business into other industries and offers extensive experience in organising trade fairs. The company already holds several events in the consumer goods sector including Beauty Expo, which is heading into its 35th edition next year. From this long history, the company has established strong relationships with a number of local industry organisations under the show’s main product categories.
Meanwhile, Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, Taiwan Branch can utilise its close-knit global sales network that covers around 180 countries and regions to connect the local market with one of the most extensive international beauty trade fair networks in the world.
