Industry Insights 

The global medicated shampoo market size was valued at USD 12.0 billion in 2018. Rising hair related problems including severe dandruff, hair fall, dryness, and itchy scalp due to pollution and other climate changes are the key driving factors in the market. These trends have triggered hair care manufacturers to come up with customized shampoos that can meet the requirements of the consumers.

In addition, increasing disposable income among middle-income groups in the developing economies including China, India, and Brazil is enabling the consumers to raise their spending for medicated shampoo products. Over the past few years, consumers have been suffering from various hair problems due to which several brands have emerged rapidly and advance product offerings have impacted the medicated shampoo market growth positively.

U.S. medicated shampoo market

Hair related problems are escalating owing to long exposure to sunlight or UV rays, unhealthy eating habits, unhygienic atmosphere, and presence of other dangerous chemicals. As a result, these trends have propelled the manufacturers to launch new products in the form of medicated shampoos that can provide a reliable solution. Medicated shampoo is also used in treating fungal infection of scalp, conditions like stubborn dandruff, and to control itchy and flaky scalp.

Launch of new advanced medicated shampoos is gaining popularity among many youngsters, thereby drawing more demand for these products. Given the fact that these products offer many benefits, people of different age groups are getting lured to deal with their hair related problems. Rising awareness regarding the importance of healthy hair, which defines an individual’s personality, is pulling in more attention towards these products and ultimately increasing the demand for shampoo. Eventually, popularity and consumer preference for medicated shampoos are increasing due to the fruitful results offered by them.

Treatment Insights

Medicated shampoos containing selenium sulfide, coal tar, zinc pyrithione, and salicylic acid are often used to treat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Selenium sulfide is effective in treating itchiness and white flakes caused by severe dandruff, whereas zinc pyrithione not just reduces dandruff but also adds a pleasant smell to the hair. These products are also useful in treating psoriasis, a condition in which thick and red scaly patches are visible all across the scalp. Presence of coal tar significantly reduces the rapid growth of skin cell that causes psoriasis and inflammation.

Medicated shampoos have also yielded results in treating tinea captis, a scalp ringworm, that sometimes causes severe, inflammatory, and painful mass called kerion on the scalp. Shampoos containing 1% or 2% ketoconazole are used to reduce this fungal infection and restore original scalp conditions. Shampoos with authentic medicinal properties are capable of eliminating the head lice. Products that contain permethrin and pyrethrin have the potential to kill head lice that damages the scalp and hair conditions. Medicated shampoos comprising salicylic acid and lactic acid are also used to treat many allergic reactions, dryness, and redness and soften hair texture.

Distribution Channel Insights

Hypermarkets/Supermarkets generated a revenue of USD 5.6 billion in 2018. Increasing number of supermarkets in developing economies including India and China as a result of supportive investment policies by the domestic governments for offline retail firms is expected to remain a favorable factor for the segment growth.
