Beautyworld Japan closes on a high note with 60% uptick in visitors
30 maggio 2022
By all accounts, whether measured by the feedback from participants or the final attendance figures, the 24th edition of Beautyworld Japan was a great success. The country’s leading beauty event closed its doors on 18 May 2022 after hosting 672 exhibitors at Tokyo Big Sight. This represented a 32% increase from 2021, and an impressive 22% rise compared with the 2019 edition before the pandemic. The three-day fair also attracted 58,830 professional visitors (up 60% from 2021), and contributed significantly to the recovery of the Japanese beauty industry after the pandemic.
Speaking as the fair concluded, Ms Mako Yamamoto, Executive Director of Messe Frankfurt Japan Ltd, commented: “We are delighted with the strong participation figures from exhibitors and visitors which have both seen double-digit jumps. This upward trend has confirmed what we already know: the beauty industry in Japan is firmly on the road to recovery. This year’s fair has played an important role as an engine to accelerate this post pandemic recovery, with a lot of positive feedback from participants underlining a ‘back-to-business’ outlook. As a key event for the Japanese beauty industry, we will continue to contribute to the development of the industry.”
With a track record of more than two decades, the show has developed a reputation for its wide product variety, which only increased this year. The fair hosted an expansive range of products and services for salons, hotels, spas and retail business displayed across the popular product zones of Cosmetics, Beauty equipment, Creative hair, The Tokyo Nail Forum, Eyelash, Business support, Academic, Wellness & Beauty, OEM & Packaging, Make-up and Spa & Wellness. The fair also featured a wide range of seminars on the latest industry trends, techniques, laws and regulations, which attracted a large number of participants.
Reflecting on his experience, Mr Satoshi Fujinaka of Wahl Japan Corp, said: “We are exhibiting hair clippers which are mainly used by male hairdressers, but we would like to increase the number of female hairdressers using our equipment. It’s safe to say that we achieved our goal. We received more orders than we had expected. There is no better place than Beautyworld Japan to gain new customers. We will come back with a larger booth space next year.”
Ms Kaede Fujiwara, General Manager, Doctor Soie Inc, was equally pleased with the outcome of the show. She commented: “This is the fourth time that we have exhibited at Beautyworld Japan. We are very surprised and pleased with the numerous positive responses that we have received, and we have even tripled the number of leads compared to last year. Once again, exhibiting at Beautyworld Japan has proved to be indispensable for us to accelerate and grow our business. We are looking forward to participating again next year.”
