From ingredients to the finished beauty product
Beautyworld Dubai covers virtually the entire beauty industry value chain. The exhibition features finished cosmetics and care products, perfumery, professional hair and nail products, ingredients, packaging, contract manufacturing, equipment and technological solutions.
This format makes it possible to work with the market at different levels: for brands - to find manufacturing and trade partners, for distributors and retailers - new products, and for manufacturers - suppliers of raw materials, packaging and technologies.
Perfumery as one of the key segments
The perfumery sector occupies a special place in the structure of the exhibition. In 2026, the organizers are expanding it into a separate new hall, and the display will cover both finished fragrances and perfume compositions, raw materials and solutions for creating fragrance products.
The educational hub for this segment will be the Next in Fragrance Conference, where perfumers, brand founders and industry experts will discuss contemporary perfumery, brand development, new consumer models and global fragrance trends.
Next in Beauty: what is changing the beauty market
The Next in Beauty Conference is dedicated to trends that influence the development of cosmetics, skincare, beauty tech, retail and the professional business segment. The program includes presentations by brand founders, industry experts and company representatives working with new product formats and consumer experience models.
Among the topics for 2026 are wellness in the beauty business, the development of K-beauty, A-beauty and C-beauty, inclusivity, new retail models, technology and changes in consumer behavior.

The Makeup Studio will focus on professional makeup and skincare. The format will include demonstrations, educational sessions and masterclasses from international makeup artists and beauty brands.
