Market Insights and Analyst View:

Hair colors are hair dyes that are applied either for covering grey hair or for changing the natural color of hair. There are basically 3 types of hair colors: permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary. Permanent hair colors permanently change the natural hair color and usually give the best results. Hair colors are available in various color shades such as black, brown, and burgundy. Consumers are highly concerned about their appearance which is creating significant demand for personal grooming products. This factor is driving the hair color market. Moreover, the rising aging population is also one of the major factors driving the demand for hair color and dyes.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

Rising demand for hair color from the aging population is driving the hair color market growth. According to the World Population Ageing Review of 2019, there are more than 703 million people aged 65 or over in the world. The world population is aging rapidly due to declining fertility rates and increasing longevity or life expectancy. The aging population is widely using hair color to cover their grey hair. This factor is significantly driving the demand for hair color. Further, due to lifestyle changes and nutritional deficiencies, there is a rising rate of premature greying. People are witnessing early greying of hair due to daily stress, poor dietary habits, smoking, and certain medical conditions. This factor is also expected to boost the demand for hair colors, driving the hair color market growth.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic affected almost all industries in various countries. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA) hampered the growth of several industries, including the consumer goods industry. The shutdown of manufacturing units disturbed global supply chains, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and essential and nonessential product sales. Various companies witnessed delays in product deliveries and a slump in sales of their products in 2020. Due to the pandemic-induced economic recession, consumers became more cautious and selective in their purchasing decisions. However, the pandemic caused temporary closures of beauty salons, which forced many consumers to do their own hair color at home. This increased the demand for hair colors across the residential sector. Also, as people were mandated to stay at home, they engaged in various DIY activities which positively impacted the hair color sales. However, as supermarkets, hypermarkets, shopping malls, and stores that sell non-essential products remained shut during the initial phase of the pandemic, people relied on e-commerce retail channels such as Amazon.com, eBay, and SnapDeal.

By the end of 2021, many countries were fully vaccinated, and governments announced relaxation in certain regulations including lockdowns and travel bans. Various stores including supermarkets, departmental stores, shopping malls, and mom-and-pop stores were permitted to reopen which also increased the sale of hair color products. All these factors positively influenced the hair color market growth.
