 Asian Beauty Standards and Products Make Way for Innovation and Influence Markets in the West
Beauty Expo in Kuala Lumpur tones-up to meet latest beauty trends in Asia and the West

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- From BB (blemish balm) creams, CC (colour correction) creams, serums, essences, ampoules, sea weed face masks, scrubs to topical gels with botulinum, lips and hair shading, cosmetic eyebrow embroidery and tattoo, beauty trends and products from Asia are setting the tone for the evolving beauty industry and increasingly claiming a significant market share of the beauty business in Asia and in the West. According to Euromonitor International by the year 2019, 80% of global skincare revenue gain will come from Asia. The consumer patterns in the region are influenced by K-Beauty (Korean Beauty) and Japanese beauty trends with more and more Asian consumers that traditionally favoured western cosmetics are now looking at Asian products with greater inclination for innovative products. The influence of Asian products in the West is now greater than ever with many Korean and Japanese products, and these products are not just limited to hair and make-up but also include nail care, wellbeing and spa products, toiletries & personal care, and nature health products.

UBM Asia, organisers of Beauty Expo 2016 which will be held in Kuala Lumpur from 14-17 October at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, has announced exciting plans to include many new exhibit zones, product categories and segments, competitions and technical seminars to meet the needs of this dynamic industry. First up, the event has announced plans to include a new exhibit zone 'Health and Wellness Zone' for the progressive 'new healthy' market which will include a range of products such as vitamins, nutrition, antioxidants, age-based nutrition, energy and stamina, weight management, and fortified foods and beverages. The event will also feature for the first time a dedicated pavilion for Halal and Bumiputera manufactured cosmetics and beauty products. Given the rise in face embroidery practices in the region, the trade show will also host a Beauty Face Embroidery competition to create a platform on which aspiring artist can practice and showcase their craft to develop a credible and respected career as a professional face art artist. With all this and many other exciting show floor features, the organisers of the event are set to offer its attendees an event bigger than ever before offering a range of learning and networking opportunities.
