Cosmetics & Home Care Ingredients, Turkey's Only Trade Fair for Cosmetics, Personal Care and Cleaning Product Ingredients, Prepares to Meet the Industry

The Cosmetics & Home Care Ingredients (CHCI) fair, one of the region's most important events bringing together the cosmetics, personal care, detergent and home care products sectors, is preparing to welcome participants and visitors at the 5th International Cosmetics, Personal Care, Detergent and Home Care Products Components, Raw Materials and Technologies Fair, to be held 25-27 May 2022 at Istanbul Fuar Merkezi under the organization of Artkim. Based on data from the İKMİB sector report, the cosmetics products industry achieved USD 656.2 million in exports during the first half of 2021, representing a 13.09% increase compared to the same period of the previous year, and exports to nearly 200 countries. In light of these figures, targets aimed at increasing export volume to these markets, particularly due to proximity to Iran and the Middle East, have significantly increased the interest of companies operating in the cosmetics and home care products sector in Turkey in specialized fairs, which play an important role in their entry into new markets. As we begin to leave behind the negative effects of the pandemic in this new period, the Cosmetics & Home Care Ingredients Fair, which aims to bring together producers and potential buyers, is targeting to provide all the commercial business connection opportunities that the sector needs. The CHCI Fair brings together as participants manufacturers in cosmetics, personal care, detergent, home care and cleaning raw materials and components, essence producers, laboratory and production equipment manufacturers, test and measurement device producers, and companies providing services in packaging and wrapping for these sectors. The fair has become the sector's indispensable meeting point over the years as the only B2B platform in this field in Turkey. In 2019, the CHCI Fair hosted 69 direct participants and 3,375 visitors; the Innovation Corner showcasing the most innovative products, the Product Formulation Area where prototype products are prepared, the Fragrance Workshop where one-to-one fragrance testing takes place, and the Conference Program featuring sector experts all drew significant interest from the sector. In 2022, the CHCI Fair is incorporating numerous innovations; a virtual fair platform opening simultaneously with the physical fair and remaining accessible for 3 months will provide long-term communication opportunities for both participating companies and visitors. Additionally, with a mobile application to launch prior to the fair, CHCI 2022 aims to provide visitors with a more efficient fair experience; technical and commercial conferences organized by sector experts in the fair area will be broadcast live simultaneously on the Turkchem TV YouTube channel, reaching thousands of sector professionals. Continuing its path with the strength it draws from the sector, the CHCI Fair, with its rich special areas and content, will bring thousands of sector professionals together at Istanbul Fuar Merkezi on 25-27 May 2022, playing an important role in establishing new collaborations and increasing sectoral knowledge sharing.
