Pre-registration opens for PCHi China 2027
Pre-registration is open for the 2027 edition of the Personal Care and Homecare Ingredients (PCHi) trade show, which takes place on 24–26 February in Guangzhou, China. The 2027 edition will span
seven China Import and Export Fair Complex exhibition halls of ingredient and formulation innovation, alongside the PCHi Annual Industry Conference and the PCHi Fountain Awards. As the world’s largest
cosmetics ingredients exhibition, PCHi returns as the first major industry gathering of the year, bringing together formulators, brand owners, R&D professionals, regulatory affairs specialists, buyers, and solution providers from across China and Asia-Pacific.
This edition builds on a
2026 show that drew more than 50,000 trade professionals and over 860 exhibitors from 72 countries and regions. At the 2026 edition, R&D
professionals made up the largest share of visitors (28.7%), followed by marketing (23.3%), senior management (19.6%), and purchasing and procurement (14.4%). China’s regulatory and
consumer landscape continues to shape global personal care innovation, and PCHi is where that shift plays out most directly for the industry. Consumers are increasingly
willing to pay for that shift: Euromonitor International’s 2026 Global Consumer Trends report found that 49% of consumers would pay at least 10% more for premium beauty products with a scientific formulation, and retail sales of dermocosmetics posted a double-digit compound annual growth rate in every region from 2020 to 2024.
