A SPECIAL FOCUS ON ITALY!
During the whole afternoon of next September 9, the conference
room of MakeUp in NewYork will be in the colors of Italy. It is only
natural when you know what the entire make-up sector owes to
the industry of this country. An appointment, which should on no
account be missed.
Economically, according to the Beauty Report recently produced by Cosmetica Italia,
the value of the production of the Italian cosmetics industry, is of 9.352 million
euros, and has registered in 2014 an increase of 0.8% over the previous year,
despite the uncertainties of the internal market.
The total turnover of the Italian industry is close to 14 billion euros, with a recovery
trend in 2014 of more than 2 percent, confirmed by forecasts for the year 2015,
which is expected to close with a positive rate close to 3%.

To note that in 2014 the United States was the number one destination of Italian
cosmetics after France, Germany and the United Kingdom, with a +16% growth rate
for a value equal to 249 million euros.
A dynamic industrial fabric
Reflecting the Italian industry in general, the sector dedicated to the production of
make-up formulations or to full service is made up of family-owned SMEs. Many of
them are located in the region of Crema about 40 miles south of Milan.
In the cosmetic field and more particularly in formulation, the Italian industry is
recognized worldwide for both its innovative capacity and level of service, all of
which allowed the cosmetic industry "Made in Italy" to make a name for itself on
both traditional markets and emerging markets.
Most of these companies are located in an area between Crema and Cremona.
Fashion has a great influence on the Italian market. And new fashion trends, the
importance of colors, have changed the way people buy and have also brought
changes in the distribution of products. All these topics will be addressed during
this afternoon of conferences.
Special "Made in Italy" conference
2:00pm - 4:00 pm: The Italian economy of Beauty... State of play! Milan and its
region at the heart of the make-up dynamics.
With the participation of: Federico Tozzi Deputy Secretary General Italy – America
Chamber of Commerce Inc.
- The challenges and assets of the Italian industry
Historically, Italy is the cradle of the manufacture of color cosmetic formulas. These
are generally family businesses all, or almost all of them, established in a specific
area south of Milan and, more specifically, within 40 miles of the city of Crema.
Among topics addressed... "From the formulation to full service, you are faced with
a market that has become increasingly global. This is both a good thing to foster
development but also a drawback, as you have to cope with increasingly fierce
competition. What are your main strengths and what room for maneuver do you
have in the face of this new economic situation? Skin Care..., Make-up... How do you
see the evolution of your markets in the next few years in these two categories,
knowing that they are increasingly interdependent? Do you also believe that you will
be forced more and more to offer a comprehensive solution to brand owners?
