Istanbul not only bridges two continents but also serves as the vibrant heart of Turkey’s beauty and personal care manufacturing industry. This industry, characterized by an ecosystem of small firms, has its roots deeply embedded in the metropolis. When it comes to production, fragrances and hair care products reign supreme, making them the most frequently crafted categories within the local manufacturing sector. These small but energetic enterprises take immense pride in their contributions to the country's economy and the beauty regimens of countless individuals. The bustling Marmara Region, encompassing Istanbul and several neighboring cities like Kocaeli, Tekirdağ, Bursa and Balıkesir, is the core of beauty and personal care manufacturing. In particular, Istanbul is home to more than 250 firms that play a pivotal role in shaping the industry’s landscape. Although numerous global Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) giants establish their roots in the greater Istanbul area, some have expanded their operations to other cities like Konya and Kocaeli. Aside from manufacturing, the city has significant business influence as the face of the Turkish beauty industry through its annual hosting of BeautyEurasia, the International Cosmetics, Beauty and Hair Exhibition. Renowned as the foremost commercial platform for the cosmetics industry across the Eurasia region, this exhibition serves as a vital gateway to the vast Eurasian market. Bringing together 459 exhibitors and attracting around 20,000 visitors, BeautyEurasia represents a flagship event for the Turkish cosmetics industry. It showcases leading products and services, offering a fertile ground for professionals from both Turkey and abroad to forge new business partnerships and opportunities. It’s here that Turkish-made labels receive their due time in the spotlight. As Istanbul continues to thrive as the epicenter of beauty and personal care manufacturing, it's not just a city where continents meet but also a place where creativity, innovation and commerce unite in the name of beauty.
