Men’s Grooming Products Market Summary

Furthermore, an increase in the number of men’s salons is fueling demand for male grooming brands worldwide. Aside from that, some market participants are developing new electrical items, such as shavers and razors, by incorporating new performance characteristics based on cutting-edge technology. For instance, in November 2021, Philips launched Norelco Shaver Series 9000 with artificial intelligence for a smarter shaving experience, targeting the urban population.

During the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the men's segment witnessed a surge in demand across the globe as men were able to take extra care of themselves because they had taken a break from their routine. According to an article published by Entertainment Times, an authoritative source on Hollywood, celebrities, royals, movies, music, and TV shows in April 2022, 45% of GenZ men were encouraged to use grooming products at the same time. In addition, the pandemic led to stockpiling of items, which resulted to have altered people's shopping habits towards e-commerce platforms.

Growing skin concern among men such as sensitivity, aging, inflammatory conditions, acne, and dryness is expected to drive the demand for the skincare segment.  Hence, key players are launching products to cater to the demand of consumers with serious skin conditions. For instance, in March 2022, Denver stepped into the advanced men’s grooming segment with the launch of a new product range backed by science. The new and improved catalog consists of body wash, beard oil, and a beard comb. Furthermore, new product launches will help increase the scope of the market in the coming years.

Males increasingly prefer natural grooming brands to chemical-based grooming brands. This has led to a rise in demand for brands that are safe, natural, organic, and cruelty-free in recent years. For instance, in July 2021, IDAM House of Brands, the parent company of Bella Vita Organic announced the launch of a new direct-to-consumer (D2C) skincare and grooming brand BRAVE Essentials, with products formulated using natural ingredients and no harsh chemicals. The rise in the trend of premiumization in demand for men's grooming products, with an increased impact of clean-label ingredients, has led to the high price of organic men's grooming products.

In addition, the increasing number of innovative brand launches to cater to the growing product demand from customers is expected to further support the growth of the market.  For instance, in September 2021, CavinKare entered the men’s grooming market with the launch of a new personal care brand Biker’s. The brand’s product line includes 2-in-1 shampoo-conditioners, beard oil, beard cream, and shower gel to meet the needs of the urban male. The brand is said to be focused more on the mass market and is targeting the new spaces that are emerging in hair care, face care, and body care.

The increasing demand for toiletries and shaving products is propelling the demand for the market. Furthermore, awareness concerning cleanliness and personal hygiene is another significant factor boosting the market growth. According to an article published by Harvard University, in July 2019, on average men tidy up for 10 minutes every day. Moreover, the availability of a wide variety of these products online is accelerating the demand. The e-commerce platform further provides various offers on these products, which is boosting online sales.
