‘2023 ICPI Week (International Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Week)’, which covers the entire supply chain from pharmaceutical and cosmetic development to manufacturing and distribution, was held on April 4th, hosted by a contest exhibition and organized by KY Expo. It was successfully held at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do for 18 days from Tuesday (Tuesday) to Friday the 21st (Friday).
The characteristic of this exhibition was that the ecosystem that makes up the supply chain for development and manufacturing of the market could be seen in one place. Accordingly, this exhibition introduced products and technologies for ▲design and development of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and cosmetics ▲laboratory science ▲production process and packaging ▲cold chain and logistics technology, and the organizer prepared 7 specialized pavilions to suit the purposes of visitors. .
The 2023 ICPI Week exhibitions are largely ▲International Pharmaceutical and Bio Industry Exhibition (KOREA PHARM & BIO) ▲International Cosmetic Raw Materials and Technology Exhibition (CI KOREA) ▲International Research, Experiment and Analysis Equipment Exhibition (KOREA LAB) ▲International Chemical Equipment Industry Exhibition (KOREA CHEM) It consists of ▲International Pharmaceutical, Bio, and Cosmetic Technology Exhibition (COPHEX) ▲International Logistics Industry Exhibition (KOREA MAT) ▲International Cold Chain Industry Exhibition (KOREA COLD CHAIN).
Among these, the 13th International Pharmaceutical & Bio Industry Exhibition (Korea Pharm & Bio) and ▲8th International Cosmetic Raw Materials and Technology Exhibition (CI KOREA), which provide information on product development, provide raw medicine, biomedicine, cosmetic raw materials, and consignment services. About 145 companies participated, including outsourcing, vaccine raw materials, pharmaceutical analysis, consulting, services, artificial intelligence, national and public research institutes and bioclusters, and university-industrial cooperation groups.
The global beauty market, which was worth $5,320 billion as of the end of last year, is expected to expand to $2025 billion by 8,000, and there is a noticeable tendency for multi-step skin care to be gradually simplified due to the expansion of eco-friendly consumption concepts.
