KTDS Global Is Heading to K-Beauty Expo Korea 2026
The KTDS Global team is excited to confirm that we will be attending K-Beauty Expo Korea 2026, taking place from 15–17 October 2026 at KINTEX Exhibition Centre 1, Halls 3–5. As one of Korea’s leading beauty industry events, the show will bring together exciting brands, manufacturers, suppliers, buyers and professionals from across skincare, cosmetics, fragrance, haircare, men’s grooming, packaging, ingredients, OEM/ODM and beauty technology.
For KTDS, this is much more than another international beauty show. It is an opportunity to discover the next generation of Korean beauty brands and help them build a clear, commercially focused route into the UK market.
Exciting Meetings Are Already Confirmed
We have already secured meetings with several exciting brands during the show, and we are looking forward to learning more about their products, ambitions and international growth plans.
Each meeting will focus on the brand’s potential UK roadmap and the practical steps required to move from initial interest to a successful launch.
This includes:
- UK cosmetic compliance and Responsible Person support
- UK retail and e-commerce introductions
- Localised buyer presentations and commercial documents
- Warehousing, fulfilment and logistics
- UK website and marketplace preparation
- Influencer gifting and content creation
- Social media management and paid advertising
- PR, launch events and long-term brand development
Through the KTDS Connectivity Database, we can connect suitable international brands with established UK retailers, e-commerce platforms, marketplaces, distributors and specialist industry partners.
Our focus is not simply on making an introduction. We help brands become commercially prepared for the UK, present themselves correctly to buyers and build the awareness needed to support long-term retail and online sales.
Working Alongside GCRS
We are especially excited to be working alongside our trusted compliance partner, GCRS, at this fantastic show.
Compliance is one of the most important stages of any beauty brand’s UK expansion. Before products can be launched and presented to consumers, brands need to understand the regulatory requirements, product documentation, safety assessments and Responsible Person obligations involved.
By bringing together GCRS’s compliance expertise and KTDS Global’s retail, e-commerce, marketing and partnership network, we can offer brands a joined-up route into the UK market.
Brands attending the show will be able to discuss both the regulatory and commercial sides of their UK expansion, helping them understand what is required and how the different stages fit together.
It is going to be exciting to meet innovative Korean founders and product teams face-to-face while showing them what is possible within the UK beauty market.
Are You Ready to Enter the UK?
We are still arranging meetings with Korean beauty, skincare, cosmetics, fragrance and personal-care brands that are serious about entering or expanding within the United Kingdom.
If your brand is looking for fast access to UK retail and e-commerce opportunities, we would love to meet you at K-Beauty Expo Korea.
Together, we can discuss your products, current market position and the roadmap required to make your UK launch a success.
