Barcelona has always been a popular location, thanks to its stunning architecture, warm climate and vibrant culture. The 8,578 unique visitors to Gran Fira, Barcelona for in-cosmetics 2015 certainly suggested that the city can attract many cosmetic industry professionals, and the figure represents the highest number for any event outside of Paris in the exhibition’s history. This also represented an increase of 18 per cent (pre-audit) on last year’s show in Hamburg.
As ever, the event carried a distinctly international flavour, with exhibitors and visitors from all over the world. However 27 per cent of the total visitors hailed from Spain, ensuring exhibitors were able to introduce their ingredients to the key Spanish market.
In total there were 710 exhibitors from around the world and of those 105 were first-time exhibitors. Visitors were able to meet with leading global manufacturers from across the cosmetics ingredients industry including the likes of Evonik, Croda, Dow Corning, Lonza, BASF, Ashland, Lipotec and Lubrizol.
