PCHi is China’s No.1 sourcing platform for the global personal care and homecare industry. The next edition takes place from 24 to 26 February 2027 at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou. Through the partnership, PCHi exhibitors can list on Covalo, giving buyers and formulators a digital destination to discover, qualify and connect with suppliers before, during and after the event.

What is the PCHi and Covalo partnership?

RSE, the organizer of PCHi, and Covalo are building a connection between the physical exhibition and Covalo’s digital marketplace. In the coming weeks, PCHi exhibitors will be listed on Covalo, and a dedicated PCHi event filter will make it simple for buyers to find all suppliers and ingredients linked to the show. The marketplace’s navigation will also be available in Chinese, enabling Chinese-speaking buyers and suppliers to browse ingredients, compare options, and access relevant information more easily.

Why are PCHi and Covalo partnering?

A trade show and a digital platform complement each other: the event creates focused moments of discovery, and the platform keeps those connections active in between. The partnership aims to bridge the physical trade show experience with a continuous, 24/7 digital platform. Four elements sit at the center of the partnership:

• Year-round connectivity: Exhibitors and visitors stay in touch beyond the three days of the show.
• Streamlined ingredient sourcing: Buyers can search through thousands of suppliers and over 100,000 beauty and personal care ingredients online anytime.
• Data standardization: Ingredient data follows a consistent structure, which supports fast and reliable qualification.
• Post-event digital continuity: After trade shows end, the platform keeps the momentum going.

What does the PCHi×Covalo partnership mean for Suppliers and Buyers?

• For suppliers exhibiting at PCHi, a Covalo listing adds a digital layer to the exhibition presence. Ingredient data, documentation and company information stay visible to a global audience of formulators and beauty brands all year, including the weeks of preparation before the show and the follow-up period afterwards.
• For brands and formulators in China, the partnership offers a more convenient route to sourcing. With the PCHi filter and the upcoming Chinese-language marketplace, discovering relevant suppliers and comparing ingredients becomes possible at any time of year, whether or not a visit to Guangzhou is on the calendar.
  
• For international suppliers and buyers, the partnership opens a clearer view of one of Asia’s most important sourcing communities, supported by the standardized data Covalo is known for.
