Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Hair Removal Products Market

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for hair removal products was mainly driven by high consumer spending on grooming products and rising demand for men’s hair removal products. However, several industries slowed down their operations in 2020 due to disruptions in value chains caused by the shutdown of national and international boundaries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic created a global health havoc that disrupted the functioning of all industries, including the consumer goods industry. The sales of different hair removal products declined due to the closure of salons. At the same time, there was an increase in traffic on e-commerce sites, and more consumers started buying products online. In 2021, the demand for hair removal products surged with the resumption of business activities and lifting of lockdown measures, which is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the hair removal products market during the forecast period.

Market Insights

Rise in Demand for Men's Hair Removal Products

The rise in global promotional campaigns regarding personal hair removal products has shifted the customer perspective from salon styling to at-home personal care. Moreover, the frequency of facial shaving and undesired body hair removal is higher among men than women. Men generally use razors and blades for facial hair removal or trimming and prefer hair removal creams or sprays for removing undesired body hair. The shift in men's attitude toward personal or self-care regimes has encouraged manufacturers to develop products specific to men's skin types and requirements. For instance, in 2019, Reckitt Benckiser Group plc launched the Veet hair removal cream range for men, featuring Veet Men Normal and Veet Men Sensitive. Moreover, various companies offer razor or hair removal kit subscriptions to customers, wherein, the company delivers hair removal kits to their doorstep on a regular interval specified by the customer. For instance, companies such as Harry's, Dollar Shave Club, and The Procter & Gamble Company offer hair removal subscription boxes. Rise in demand for men's personal grooming products such as hair clippers, electric shavers, razors, blades, and hair removal creams is driving the hair removal products market growth.
