Beauty Istanbul is preparing to host a new edition of great international importance: from May 7 to 9, 2026, the TUYAP Fair Center in Istanbul will become the meeting point for companies, buyers, distributors, importers, and beauty industry professionals from around the world. The event confirms Turkey’s strategic role as a natural bridge between Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, offering cosmetics companies a privileged platform to develop new business relationships and consolidate their presence in foreign markets.
The upcoming edition will be particularly significant for Italy: with over 140 Italian cosmetics companies, Beauty Istanbul is preparing to record the largest Italian participation in an international beauty trade fair. This result confirms the strength of Made in Italy cosmetics, recognized worldwide for its production quality, creativity, formulation innovation, industrial capacity, and attention to product design.
The Italian presence will be transversal and representative of the entire supply chain: skincare, makeup, haircare, perfumery, private labels, packaging, machinery, professional accessories, dermocosmetics, and solutions for the professional channel. This breadth confirms that Italy is not just an exporter of finished products, but a true industrial ecosystem capable of offering expertise, technologies, and integrated solutions for the global beauty market.
Beauty Istanbul today represents one of the most interesting platforms for companies wishing to reach buyers from high-potential markets. Istanbul’s geographical location, combined with the event’s strong appeal, makes the fair a strategic place to meet professionals from the Middle East, Gulf countries, North Africa, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and emerging markets. For Italian companies, it is a concrete opportunity to transform the quality of Made in Italy into new business opportunities.
The record participation of Italian companies therefore takes on a significance that goes beyond simple numbers: it speaks to Italy’s growing centrality in the international beauty landscape and the ability of companies in the sector to present themselves on global markets with a competitive, recognizable, and high-quality offering. Beauty Istanbul 2026 will be a showcase of excellence for the Italian cosmetics industry and a key opportunity to strengthen dialogue with buyers, distributors, and international partners.
