The company operates a portfolio of branded properties including Cosmetics Business, Pure Beauty, Building Better Healthcare, Cleanroom Technology, Manufacturing Chemist, and Nutraceutical Business Review, which collectively generate 1M+ monthly and 30M+ annual news page views and 60,000+ newsletter subscribers as of December 2024.

The company's core technology is a multi-brand digital publishing platform combined with event management infrastructure, distributing content across owned websites (cosmeticsbusiness.com, buildingbetterhealthcare.com, cleanroomtechnology.com, manufacturingchemist.com), email newsletters, LinkedIn showcase pages, YouTube channels, and digital magazine editions hosted on Flickread. Flagship events include the Anti-Ageing Skin Care Conference (10th edition in 2026), the Sun Protection Conference (17th edition in 2025), and the Cleanroom Technology Conference UK, supported by awards programmes such as the Pure Beauty Awards (25 years of operation since 2001), the Cosmetics Business Innovation Awards, the Building Better Healthcare Awards, and the Cleanroom Technology Awards.

HPCi Media monetizes through three core revenue streams: delegate fees for conference attendance (e.g., £1,250 / €1,440 / $1,700 for the Anti-Ageing Skin Care Conference), advertising and sponsorship packages across digital, print, email, video, and event channels, and recurring subscriptions for print and digital publications. Award entry fees are tiered at £145+VAT (standard) and £195+VAT (premium). The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Claverley Group Ltd, a diversified UK media conglomerate, and uses direct sales and event-driven GTM motions to reach enterprise and mid-market B2B customers across Europe, EMEA, and global markets.

Direct peers

• William Reed: William Reed is a B2B media and events company covering food, beverage, health, pharma, and personal care - including HPC Today and Cosmetics Design, which are direct competitors to HPCi Media's publications. Highly comparable business model combining trade publishing, events, and awards in overlapping verticals.
• HMP Global: HMP Global is a healthcare-focused B2B media and events operator producing medical conferences, trade publications, and continuing medical education - directly comparable to HPCi Media's Building Better Healthcare and Manufacturing Chemist brands in healthcare/pharma verticals.
• CloserStill Media: CloserStill Media operates B2B trade exhibitions and conferences across healthcare, life sciences, and tech - comparable to HPCi Media's events-led GTM approach and similar focus on vertical-specific trade audiences with bundled digital and event monetization.
• PEI Media: PEI Media is a B2B trade publisher operating specialist magazines, conferences, and awards across alternative investments, real estate, and infrastructure - structurally comparable as a multi-brand, vertically-specialized trade media business with events + publishing mix.
• WTWH Media: WTWH Media operates a portfolio of B2B trade publications and events across engineering, life sciences, and healthcare verticals (including Life Sciences Review) - closely analogous to HPCi Media's multi-brand vertical specialist publishing + events model.

Broad incumbents

• Informa: Informa is a global B2B media, events, and information services group (Informa Markets, Informa Connect, Informa Intelligence) operating thousands of events and trade publications including major cosmetics, pharma, and healthcare brands - much larger incumbent competing for the same advertising and sponsorship budgets HPCi Media targets.
• Future plc: Future plc is a large diversified B2B and consumer media group operating trade publications, events, and digital content businesses - comparable as a multi-brand media portfolio operator, though at substantially greater scale and with broader vertical exposure than HPCi Media's niche focus.

Emerging players

• Industry Dive: Industry Dive is a digital-first B2B trade media company operating vertical-specific business publications - a comparable content + advertising model, but predominantly digital-native rather than events-led, representing the digital publishing approach HPCi Media competes with.
• MJBizDaily (MJ Holdings): MJBizDaily operates B2B trade publications, events, and awards in the cannabis industry - structurally analogous niche vertical trade media + events + awards model, demonstrating the playbook HPCi Media follows in cosmetics and healthcare verticals.

Others

• SPIKES (Skift): Skift is a B2B trade media business covering the travel industry via newsletters, events, and research - comparable multi-stream trade media model (subscription + events + advertising), though in an unrelated vertical, useful for benchmarking niche vertical trade media unit economics.
