The event attracted a majority (52%) of international visitors. Notable growth was observed in visitors from Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and India.
“Luxe Pack is renowned for the quality of its exhibitors, showcasing companies that innovate in luxury packaging, from large groups to SMEs with specialized expertise. Our event is highly anticipated, acting as a catalyst by the entire industry. This year, exhibitors were particularly pleased with the increase in high-level decision-makers attending, with 47% of visitors holding executive roles, a 4-point increase compared to 2023,” highlighted Fabienne Germond, Show Director.
Towards redesigned halls in 2025
In 2025, Luxe Pack Monaco will gain additional space. Indeed, after 5 years of work, the Grimaldi Forum will expand by an additional 6,000 sqm.
The organizers aim to take advantage of this expansion to redesign and enhance the show.
“We will close some spaces, enlarge others and streamline circulation in the show, but also create activities and meeting areas,” Nathalie Grosdidier, Deputy Managing Director of Infopro Digital, the company behind the show, told Premium Beauty News.
Concretely, Luxe Pack Formulation and Luxe Pack Home will be relocated to larger halls.
Created in 2014, Luxe Pack Formulation brings together the perfume and cosmetics universe and is dedicated to subcontracting and full-service solutions. Currently located in the small and out-of-the-way Genois Hall, this section will be moved to the Indigo Hall.
As for Luxe Home, the section dedicated to home fragrances, which was launched in 2023, it will be relocated to the new Pinède hall.
Regarding Luxe Pack itself, the Diaghilev hall will get bigger space and new halls will be opened. "Ultimately, the total floor area of the show will increase by 15 to 20%," said Nathalie Grosdidier.
New spaces and new partnerships
New thematic areas will help to bring together the entire luxury packaging ecosystem. For instace, The Portal will focus on innovations likely to impact the future of packaging, while a brand new area will be dedicated to ecological and digital transformations (innovative materials, AI, digital printing, printed electronics, etc.). An international Startup Corner will also provide visibility to innovative companies looking for partnerships opportunities.
Finally, the show intends to strengthen its international dimension with new partnerships and the invitation of targeted delegations.
“Luxe Pack Monaco, is always evolving and continues to be driven by its focus on quality and efficiency, with 2025 set to mark a new era for the event. With redesigned halls, enhanced outdoor spaces for networking, and even more sustainability initiatives, the next edition will place creativity and innovation at the heart of the experience,” concluded Fabienne Germond.
