Who exhibits

Typical profile

On the PCD side, the offering covers packaging for perfumery, cosmetics and personal care: bottles, tubes, pumps and dispensing systems, decoration, sustainable materials. On the ADF side, exhibitors are suppliers of aerosols and dispensing systems for the personal care, household care, pharmaceutical, paint and industrial product markets.

Notable exhibitors

The exhibitor list for each section is published on the official website: see the ADF exhibitors and PCD exhibitors pages.

Quality of the visitor base

The visitor base is made up of buyers and decision-makers from beauty and aerosol product brands. The PCD website highlights the presence of brands such as Estée Lauder, L'Occitane, Puig, Shiseido, Sephora, Chanel, Guerlain and Hermès within its audience.

Policy & CSR initiatives

Paris Packaging Week is part of the Act for the Future programme run by the Easyfairs group, which aims for carbon neutrality by 2050 and a halving of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 across all the group's events. On the content side, the Refill & Reuse Zone showcases operational reuse models (10 exhibitors present in 2026), and the Circular Economy Stage covers PPWR regulation, recycling and eco-design. Student competitions on eco-design (Emballé 5.0, ESEPAC Résonances) were also highlighted at the 2026 edition.

How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

ADF&PCD no longer exists as a standalone trade show: since its acquisition by Easyfairs and its integration into Paris Packaging Week, the event functions as a meta-show bringing together aerosol/dispensing (ADF), beauty (PCD), premium drinks (PLD) and luxury goods (Packaging Première). The 2026 edition, which marked the week's 25th anniversary, posted record attendance (14,442 visitors, 915 exhibitors across the week, +15% year on year). The trajectory is driven by the scaling-up of the offering and by a positioning anchored in sustainability (PPWR, refill/reuse). The 2027 edition maintains the annual rhythm in February, in Hall 1 of Porte de Versailles.
