BeautySum India 2026 Exhibition to Connect Global Beauty Innovators with Indian Market

New Delhi: Global beauty brands, manufacturers, dermatology suppliers, distributors and professional buyers will gather in the national capital for BeautySum India 2026, scheduled to be held from August 27 to 29 at Yashobhoomi, India International Convention and Expo Centre, Dwarka.

The international business-to-business beauty trade exhibition will be held in Exhibition Hall 1 from 10 am to 6 pm on the first two days. The concluding day will run from 10 am to 5 pm. Hosted by South Korea-based exhibition organiser MESSE ESANG Co., Ltd., the event is designed to connect international beauty innovators with India’s expanding cosmetics, personal-care and professional-aesthetics market.

BeautySum India will bring together businesses across the complete beauty value chain—from finished cosmetics and professional skincare to medical-aesthetic devices, ingredients, contract manufacturing and packaging.

The event will offer Korean and other international companies an entry platform for exploring the Indian market, while enabling Indian brands, manufacturers and suppliers to identify overseas distributors, technology partners and export opportunities.

South Korea will be the country partner for BeautySum India 2026, placing a special focus on the global influence of Korean beauty, skincare technology, medical aesthetics and cosmetics manufacturing. The event will also be co-located with KoINDEX, the Korea Industry Expo, which showcases Korean companies and technologies across multiple sectors. The concurrent exhibitions are expected to create broader Korea-India business linkages and allow Indian buyers to explore opportunities extending beyond the beauty industry.

The Korean focus is particularly relevant as K-beauty continues to influence product development, skincare routines, ingredients and treatment technologies in international markets. BeautySum India aims to move this interest from consumer awareness towards structured trade relationships involving importers, distributors, clinics, salons and manufacturers.

Exhibition to cover complete beauty value chain: The exhibition categories will include cosmetics and skincare, dermatology and aesthetics, hair and nail care, body care and fragrances, inner-beauty supplements, OEM and ODM manufacturing, packaging and cosmetic raw materials. The cosmetics section will feature basic and functional skincare, colour cosmetics, products for men and children, organic and fragrance-based cosmetics, cleansing products, soaps and sun-care solutions.

Professional beauty and dermatology displays are expected to include medical-aesthetic devices, hyaluronic-acid fillers, exosome products, microneedling systems, lifting threads, home beauty-care devices and specialised products for dermatology practices. Hair and nail exhibitors will present scalp-care, hair-care and styling products, nail and foot-art solutions, polishes, removers and related professional products. The body and fragrance section will cover spa and massage equipment, bath and shower products, hair-removal solutions, hand and foot care, perfumes and fragrances. Inner-beauty categories will include functional foods, nutritional supplements, detox products and diet-related offerings. Manufacturing and supply-chain exhibitors will showcase cosmetic ingredients, natural and pharmaceutical raw materials, contract-manufacturing services, OEM and ODM capabilities, containers, production equipment and packaging materials.

Buyer programme to facilitate pre-arranged meetings: A major business component will be the Hosted Buyer Programme, designed for importers, distributors, wholesalers, offline retail chains and online retailers actively sourcing new products and brands. Qualified buyers will receive access to the full exhibition area, customised meetings arranged according to their sourcing interests and a dedicated buyer lounge for business discussions and networking.

The programme is intended to make the exhibition more commercially productive by connecting buyers with relevant suppliers before they arrive at the venue, rather than relying only on unscheduled interactions. BeautySum’s official post-show analysis reported that 85.4 per cent of surveyed buyers at the previous edition attended to identify new products and suppliers.

Skin and body care, fragrances, dermatology and aesthetics accounted for 46.8 per cent of buyer interest, while makeup, hair, nails and beauty tools represented 40.4 per cent. Manufacturing, raw materials, containers and packaging accounted for the remaining 12.8 per cent.

DERMA CONNECT to target clinics and dermatologists: The specialised DERMA CONNECT programme will focus on dermatologists, clinic owners, medical-aesthetic professionals and decision-makers looking for products and technologies that can be introduced into clinical practice. Participants will be able to examine medical beauty devices, fillers, exosomes, microneedling equipment, lifting threads and other professional dermatology solutions. The programme will also include targeted business matchmaking between clinics and suppliers. Private tours of dermatology clinics in New Delhi are planned to help participants examine clinical environments and discuss the practical adoption of products and treatment technologies.

Masterclass to demonstrate Korean aesthetic techniques: An Aesthetic Masterclass will be held on August 28 from 1 pm to 5 pm for aestheticians, salon and spa owners, beauty therapists and professionals seeking new treatment products and service concepts. The programme is expected to feature demonstrations of Korean-style anti-ageing, lifting and calming treatments, advanced pore-care techniques and personalised skin diagnosis using genetic-testing technology. Sessions will also introduce neuro-head therapy techniques aimed at stimulating scalp nerves, promoting circulation and supporting relaxation. Korean brand founders are expected to share practical insights into establishing and operating K-aesthetic spa concepts in India.

Exhibitors to present technologies and industry insights: The Exhibitor Open Seminar, scheduled for August 29 from 10 am to 4 pm, will allow participating companies to introduce their products, technologies and market perspectives directly to visitors. The seminar format is intended to complement product displays by giving exhibitors an opportunity to explain ingredients, treatment methods, manufacturing technologies and emerging beauty trends in greater detail. BeautySum India is aimed at a broad professional audience that includes importers, distributors, retailers, dermatologists, aesthetic clinics, spas, salons, barbershops, manufacturers, packaging companies and ingredient suppliers.

Visitors will be able to compare products, evaluate technologies and interact directly with potential business partners. Through its combination of product exhibitions, technical demonstrations, conferences and structured buyer meetings, BeautySum India 2026 is expected to serve as an important platform for the next phase of cooperation between India’s fast-developing beauty industry and international markets—particularly South Korea’s influential beauty and aesthetics ecosystem.
