Mrs. Ketmanee Lertkitcha, Deputy Secretary-General and Chairwoman of the Federation of Thai Industries’ Cosmetics Industry Group, and President of the Thai Cosmetic Manufacturers Association, said, “Thailand can be considered as ASEAN’s beauty hub with tremendous business potential. The increase of investment from international companies in Thailand and in the ASEAN region is one of the main factors that drive the growth of Thailand’s cosmetic industry – including the domestic market. Other factors can include quality and standards of resource, imports, distribution and better manufacture.”
Ms. Claudia Bonfiglioli, General Manager – Beauty Vertical, Informa Markets, mentioned, “BBAB has grown to become the largest beauty trade exhibition in Southeast Asia, harnessing the dynamic growth, vitality and potential of the Southeast Asia’s beauty industry. Nowadays, international companies keep investing in Thailand and neighboring countries – more country pavilions are present, like Poland this year. The brand new Informa beauty vertical now consists 16 beauty shows in Asia, creating an extensive network for international brands to enter the markets.”
Ms. Peerayaphan Pongsanam, Assistant Senior Project Manager – Trade Exhibition, IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Ltd., pointed out that the exhibition space for has expanded in response to the increase in the number of visitors over the last six editions. She said, “Statistics show that the beauty and healthcare industry continues to grow, and this confirms that BBAB enables Thai businesses to optimize their potential as they are heading to become a regional manufacturing and distribution hub for the ASEAN and CLMV markets.”
Mr. Tanawat Ruangteprat, Executive Director, inFASH, said, “Today, most businesses including beauty business are faced with digital disruption. Customers are interested more in new technologies and new innovations that trend to become important parts in our daily lives.” He added: “Nowadays, customers can research about products before buying. They now can learn about products from other customer’s online reviews. This shows how digital disruption can affect the act of a customer buying a product from a seller. So, business owners should take advantage of these new opportunities and prepare their companies to debunk traditional benchmarks to generate more revenue.”
