Riding on its success in Bangkok and Jakarta in the past year, the ASEAN Personal Care Technology Summit is heading to Ho Chi Minh City to connect the industry’s experts and brands in a two-day conference from May 19-20, 2026. Hosted by Ringier Events, a division of Ringier Trade Media Ltd, the ASEAN Personal Care Technology Summit will bring the latest developments relevant to local manufacturing and consumption.
This event will address key issues
Vietnamese manufacturers of personal care products today face two closely related issues: how to improve product quality and how to build consumer trust. These challenges stem from the presence of more established international brands, which are perceived by Vietnam’s consumers as more reliable in terms of safety, efficacy, and sustainability.
With these challenges in mind, the ASEAN Personal Care Technology Summit is designed to support local companies by providing insights into product development and enhancement, including the use of innovative ingredients, sustainable solutions, and engaging packaging.
To ensure practical guidance, the conference program features carefully selected speakers who will share insights, solutions, and case studies to help manufacturers overcome these challenges. Key topics on the agenda include the rise of clean beauty, the power of natural ingredients, innovations in contract manufacturing, and the growing demand for transparency and traceability. The program will also spotlight personalization and other breakthrough trends set to reshape production in 2026 and beyond.
A growing market for high-quality personal care
Despite its size, Vietnam is the second largest consumer of skincare and cosmetics in Southeast Asia. Its beauty and personal care market is forecast to reach USD 2.74 billion by 2025, and expand likely to USD 3.3 billion by 2030, reflecting steady growth at a 3-4% CAGR.
Personal care, particularly cosmetics and skincare account for USD1.2 billion of market. Over 60% of Vietnamese consumers use skincare daily, with facial cleansers (49%), perfumes (41%), sunscreens (31%), and moisturizers (25%), based on statistics.
Vietnam’s youth are said to be among the biggest spenders on beauty products in Vietnam whose median age is 33.4 years. As one of the region’s savviest online users, these consumers are also driving growth in online shopping, which is said to be outpacing traditional retail. Online beauty sales have surged from 47.6% in 2022 to 52.2% in 2023.
