The Istanbul Chemicals and Chemical Products Exporters’ Association (İKMİB) organized Türkiye’s national participation for the third time at Cosmoprof North America Miami, held in Miami, USA. Taking place from 27–29 January 2026, the fair welcomed a total of 33 Turkish companies, including 19 exhibitors under the national pavilion and 14 individual participants.
Strong Representation in the US Market
Bringing together leading players from the global cosmetics and beauty industry, the fair offered Turkish companies the opportunity to present a wide range of products, including cosmetics, personal care, perfumes, natural products, and cleaning solutions. Participants strengthened their brand visibility while exploring new business opportunities in the US market.
Growing Presence of Cosmoprof in Miami
Cosmoprof events are held worldwide in cities such as Bologna, Hong Kong, Mumbai, and Bangkok, while in the United States the fair has traditionally taken place in Las Vegas under the name “Cosmoprof North America.” Since 2024, Miami has also joined the Cosmoprof calendar, expanding the fair’s reach across the Americas. Türkiye’s strong participation once again stood out at the 2026 Miami edition.
Official Visits Support Turkish Exhibitors
During the event, Turkish exhibitors were visited by T.C. Miami Consul General Resul Şahinol, T.C. Miami Commercial Counsellor Ömer İnce, Deputy Commercial Counsellor Simru Korur Toprak, İKMİB Vice Chairman Mehmet İmer Özer, Board Member Uğur Adıyaman, TIM Delegate Süleyman Özgür Öztürk, as well as representatives from the Mediterranean Chemicals and Chemical Products Exporters’ Association (AKİB), who conveyed their best wishes for success.
Adil Pelister: “The US Market Is Strategically Important”
Adil Pelister, Chairman of the Board at İKMİB, emphasized the importance of the US market for the Turkish cosmetics sector, stating:
“The Turkish cosmetics industry continues to strengthen its position in global markets with its quality, innovation, and high production capability. The US market is of strategic importance for our sector. The United States ranks as our second-largest export destination for essential oils, cosmetics, and soaps. In 2025, our cosmetics exports to the US increased by nearly 17 percent, reaching USD 155.4 million. In January this year alone, exports grew by 9.89 percent to USD 10 million.”
Pelister added that İKMİB will continue to support exporters through national participation organizations, noting:
“By organizing national participation at Cosmoprof North America Miami for the third time, we aim to enhance the visibility of our companies in the US market and support the development of new partnerships. We believe this fair will pave the way for lasting commercial collaborations that will contribute to the growth of our exports.”
