U.S. nail polish market size, by product, 2020 - 2030 (USD Billion)

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively impacted the growth of the nail polish industry. The pandemic has disrupted the production facilities' products by disturbing the supply chain of the raw material suppliers. The nail polish sales declined through online and offline channels due to social distancing and stay-home policies. Moreover, the trade restrictions imposed by several countries globally have significantly affected the logistics and transportation facilities all across the globe. This, in turn, hinders overall market expansion.

Nail polish is used to decorate the nails of the toes or fingers. The easy availability of various brands, colors, and types in the market through various distribution channels, including specialty stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets, and others, has contributed to driving the growth of the nail polish market in terms of value sales. In addition to this rising number of working women population is likely to offer immense opportunities for the market growth during the forecast period.

Increasing investments in research & development, coupled with the rising trend of natural ingredients, have encouraged manufacturers to launch new products. For instance, in August 2021, OPI, one of the leading players in the market recently launched its natural, non-GMO, and vegan nail polish in the market. According to the Facebook ads targeting, in the year 2021, 52 million of its total users showed interest in nail polish, out of which the majority of the audiences fall under the age group of 25-34 yrs. followed by the other age category of 18-24 yrs. and 35-44 yrs.

Growing celebrity involvement in the promotion of sustainable beauty and personal care products, including nail polish, is expected to resonate well with young consumers. Millennials who spend a lot of time on the internet have a high inclination towards trending online articles, product launches, and celebrity endorsements. This, in turn, is likely to offer immense opportunities for market growth during the forecast period.

Product Insights

The regular nail polish segment accounted for the highest market share of 46% in the global market in 2021. This is due to its easy application and availability of a wide range of colors in the market. The low price of regular nail polish over other available types has propelled its demand in the market, contributing to the overall market growth.

The gel nail polish segment is anticipated to expand at the fastest CAGR of 8.0% from 2022 to 2030. These products are more concentrated than regular nail polish. The easy availability of gel nail polish in the market, along with its ability to provide a long-lasting glossy finish and easily gets dry, has bolstered the market growth in terms of value sales.

Moreover, by product, the other segment includes dip powder, poly-gel, acrylic, and shellac nail polish. These types of nail polish are becoming trending among the consumers owing to the benefit offered by them. For instance, poly-gel nail polish is long-lasting and can stay up to 21 days with maintenance.

Additionally, dip powder is one of the trending nail polishes which comes in powdered form. It can last up to 3 to 4 weeks. Thus, dip powder is more durable and long-lasting than any other nail polish, which is gaining traction among consumers. However, the high price of dip powder products is likely to restrict the market growth in terms of value sales.

Distribution Channel Insights

The specialty stores made the largest contribution to the global market of over 36%, in 2021. These stores have been focusing on offering natural and chemical-free categories set up to pique customer interest and offer them a facility to choose from numerous brands before making a purchase. Moreover, in specialty stores, consumers have the advantage of scanning types, shades & colors as per their choice. Additionally, the presence of store associates for helping customers to select the right product and provide product knowledge boosts the growth of the market through this segment.

Additionally, hypermarkets and supermarkets are also gaining high popularity, owing to the availability of a wide range of products, including beauty products, personal care products, groceries, and others under a single roof. These products are placed on shelves as per their category with placards displaying the detail and prices. Additionally, supermarkets and hypermarkets are generally spanning over a large area and display a wide variety of products under a single roof. Moreover, these stores are especially near the residential areas for convenience and easy accessibility of products, including nail polish and others.

Global nail polish market share, by distribution channel, 2021 (%)

The e-commerce channel is projected to register a CAGR of 9.0% from 2022 to 2030. Rising internet penetration amongst consumers and target marketing by companies to reach all customer touchpoints are likely to fuel the growth of this segment. Easy accessibility and heavy discounts & offers provided by online platforms boost the adoption of nail polish in the market. Thus, the sales of the product through the online platform are expected to boost the growth of the overall market during the forecast period.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific made the largest contribution to the global market of over 39% in 2021 and is also expected to be the fastest-growing regional segment during the forecast period.
