Upcoming 14th K-Beauty Expo in Korea: An Overview

The 14th K-Beauty Expo Korea is set to take place at KINTEX Exhibition Center from October 6th to 8th, 2022. This three-day event offers a comprehensive look at the present and future of the Korean beauty industry.


Upcoming 14th K-Beauty Expo in Korea: How Big Is the Event?

This year's K-Beauty Expo will feature 320 companies from roughly 20 countries. With multiple brands represented by each company, we expect to see over 400 booths—more than double last year's size. Around 100 international buyers will also be invited via KOTRA's global trade halls for an on-site export fair.


Upcoming 14th K-Beauty Expo in Korea: What's On Offer?

Special halls will be dedicated to various themes: hair care, clean beauty, and smart beauty. For the first time in three years, the expo will also host in-person export consultations. This is significant because the pandemic had previously caused a decline in such opportunities for beauty companies. Additionally, the "K-Beauty Expo Insight Concert," a trend-forecasting seminar, will be held to aid businesses in both domestic and international distribution channels.

According to a KINTEX official, subsequent expos are planned: K-Beauty Expo Taiwan from August 19-22, K-Beauty Expo Indonesia from August 25-27, and K-Beauty Expo Bangkok from December 15-17.
