The 6th edition which is scheduled from 19 to 21 September 2019 at IMPACT Exhibition & Convention Center, presents a new focus on Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam (“CLMV”) for the Thai beauty market.

CLMV markets offer huge opportunities for Thai brands

“With rising income and the rapid expansion of internet access in the region, e-commerce has tremendous growth potential. Currently, top e-commerce products in CLMV markets includes fashion, health & beauty products, hence offering attractive business opportunities for Thailand.” said Mrs. Ketmanee Lertkitcha, Deputy Secretary – General and Chair of Cosmetics Industry Group, The Federation of Thai Industries and President of Thai Cosmetic Manufacturers Association.

Peerayaphan Pongsanam, Project Manager of Exhibition Project, IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Ltd. (“IMPACT”) said, “Beyond Beauty ASEAN Bangkok (BBAB) has built up strong relationships in the past five years with key associations in CLMV countries.  A series of roadshows will be planned in Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam to promote the event, raise brand awareness and recruit buyers to visit the show. The growth over the years illustrates the vitality of the Southeast Asian beauty economy, reinforcing Bangkok’s position as the gateway to ASEAN countries“.
