This international event, now in its 16th edition, will embark on a global tour, spanning multiple continents and bringing together industry leaders and experts from around the world to communicate the pressing issues in regulatroy compliance and market trends in chemicals, cosmetics, pesticides, biostimulants, as well as sustainable development for the industry.

CRAC 2024 enters its 16th edition with a groundbreaking approach. Breaking away from tradition, CRAC 2024 embarks on a global tour, spanning China,  South Korea, Japan, and Europe. This bold initiative paves the way for an international exchange of ideas, experiences, and best practices, fostering collaboration on a global scale.

Korea’s K-Beauty is already evaluated as the mainstream in the global cosmetics market, and according to a number of statistics, it is one of the world’s top three cosmetics export powerhouses. The growth of the Korean cosmetics industry results in targeting the global market based on a strong and unique K-culture, world-leading idea products, and high technology with high-level quality products. Despite the environment in which exports of Korean cosmetics to China have been on the decline since COVID-19, the Korean cosmetics industry is constantly showing growth as it pioneered the US, European, and Japanese markets as alternative targets. The first step in conquering the major cosmetics markets can be said to be regulatory compliance, and changes in regulations are one of the core values of the exporters. Responding quickly to these changes in global regulations is inevitably important to the Korean cosmetics industry.
