Cosmoprof held during most turbulent week of protests in Hong Kong

Hong Kong, 27th November: Earlier this month, Informa Markets, the world’s largest international exhibition organiser, organised the 24th edition of Cosmoprof Asia in Hong Kong. The four-day beauty trade event ran from 12th to 15th November at two venues - both HKCEC and AsiaWorld-Expo.

The exhibition featured nearly 3,000 exhibitors from 48 countries and regions and covered an exhibition area of 118,900 m2 across the two venues. The number of visitors was not released, but given that figure will be substantially down compared to 2018 due to the protests in Hong Kong. Cosmoprof was held during a week of frequent violent clashes between protesters and police along with road closures and regular disruption to transportation systems.
