Italian exports of cosmetics to Malaysia amounted to EUR 8.1 million in 2016, making Malaysia the 57th largest importer of Italian cosmetics (out of 177 countries considered by the Italian National Institute for Statistics). In particular relevance are the Italian exports of perfumes, which in 2016 registered a growth of 5% compared to 2015 and amounted to 35% of the total value of Italian exports of cosmetics to Malaysia, with brands like Prada, Versace and Bvlgari.

Moreover, in 2016, imports of cosmetics from Malaysia reached EUR 1.6 million, with a 326% increase compared to 2015 which strengthened the already sizeable trade between the two countries in the sector and made Italy a more important destination of Malaysian cosmetic products.
