PCHi 2024 Set to Redefine Industry Standards with Innovative Feature Areas

Personal Care and Homecare Ingredients (PCHi), China’s choice sourcing platform for the global personal care industry, is poised for record-breaking participation for its 2024 edition. Scheduled to be held from 20-22 March 2024 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, PCHi 2024 promises to be a pivotal event in the industry, offering attendees an all-encompassing experience steeped in innovation and opportunity.

Embracing the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)

Against the backdrop of the 10th anniversary of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), PCHi recognizes the initiative’s profound impact on global economic cooperation. Expanding collaborations beyond the Eurasian continent to encompass Africa and Latin America, the BRI has evolved into a platform for international economic growth and development. China, as the world’s second-largest economy and cosmetics market, plays an integral role in propelling global economic expansion.

China’s cosmetics industry, a formidable force in its own right, continues to manifest robust growth. With a population of 1.4 billion and sustained economic development, the Chinese cosmetics market is witnessing a consistent rise in domestic consumption. Projections indicate a substantial year-on-year growth rate of 6.4%, with the market size expected to reach approximately 516.9 billion yuan by 2023.

Unprecedented Participation and Global Engagement

In the context of this dynamic industry landscape, PCHi 2024 is poised to host an unprecedented number of exhibitors, surpassing the benchmarks set by previous editions. Of the 750 participating companies, about 40% are international cosmetic ingredient providers.
