On February 8, our first press conference of the year was held.

Discover how COSMETIC VALLEY went from a local industrial history to an international success thanks to a strong territorial anchor.

Structuring an industrial sector, culture of innovation, support for dynamic export companies, influence of the France brand, promotion of professions; so many actions carried out in the service of the perfumery-cosmetics sector for 30 years.

That same day, COSMETIC VALLEY, in partnership with the Asterès firm, presented a detailed study on the economic weight of the sector in the region. With more than €21 billion in exports, cosmetics are the 2nd sector that generates the highest trade surplus. Almost all regions of France have a positive trade balance.

Our next meetings, note in your calendars!

The entire team wishes you all the best for this exceptional year!

For almost 30 years, French perfumery - cosmetics has been organized into a sector under the aegis of COSMETICVALLEY.

As the third largest contributor to the trade balance, cosmetics is a major industry for France.

A few days after COSMETIC 360, inaugurated by Christophe Béchu , the sector committee, chaired by Roland Lescure , and #France2030 in Overseas at the invitation of Philippe Vigier , Christophe MASSON , General Director of COSMETIC VALLEY and Franckie Béchereau , Director Deputy General - Europe & International are received this week at the Elysée Palace to prepare the future of the sector: employment, ecological and digital transition, industrial innovation and above all... the international influence of France!

The FFCE (French Fragrance & Cosmetics Embassy) concept, which will be launched in China in 2024 by COSMETIC VALLEY, then deployed in conjunction with public authorities in high-potential markets, will make it possible to support our SMEs in exporting in an innovative way. .

After its official launch at the COSMETIC 360 show last month, it was in China itself that we launched the first FFCE (French Fragrance & Cosmetics Embassy) in the presence of all of our local partners: business leaders, representatives of federations and clusters, trade fair organizers, journalists, elected officials, etc.

The FFCE China, which has received the support of government authorities, will constitute an incredible tool for promoting the French sector and supporting SMEs in this rapidly changing market.

The creation of this unique concept of sectoral embassy from 2024 will make it possible to promote the 60th anniversary of Franco-Chinese diplomatic relations, and will make it possible to strengthen win-win relations between our two cosmetics sectors.
