IV. Industry Trend Insights for 2024

Science-backed, precision skincare: Consumers are shifting their focus from "performance claims" to "clinically validated data," as seen with Givaudan’s Illuminyl 388, which has been proven through human testing to visibly brighten skin tone by up to 38%.

The rise of emotional beauty: Companies like Symrise are introducing "neuro-cosmetics" ingredients that target skin nerve signals to combat stress-induced aging concerns.

Deepening the circular economy: shifting from "single-material sustainability" to a "closed-loop, full-industry-chain approach," as exemplified by Ashland’s Perfectyl™ Biofunctional ingredient, which boasts a 40% reduction in energy consumption during production compared to conventional processes—according to in-cosmetics.com.

V. Future Outlook

in-cosmetics Global 2024 is not only a technological showcase but also a key indicator of industry transformation. With the revision of the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC 1223/2009) and the implementation of global carbon tariffs, the event will continue to drive the beauty sector toward greater science-based, transparent, and low-carbon practices. For businesses, participating in this exhibition is not just a platform to demonstrate their strengths—it’s also a strategic move to proactively position themselves for future market opportunities.
