Market Trends of Hair Loss Treatment Products Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Hair Loss Treatment Products Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Hair-related Issues Boosting Market Demand
The market witnessed a rising number of millennials experiencing hair loss due to changing lifestyle patterns, hormonal disbalance, and increased stress levels among working-class women. According to the AMCP's (Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy) report in 2022, the prevalence of alopecia areata is increasing among females (0.25% - 0.27%) than males (0.14% - 0.17%). Thus, the increasing incidence of alopecia is further encouraging the players to innovate new products. For instance, in March 2022, Triple Hair Group Inc., a company specializing in the development of innovative treatments for alopecia, launched Plenty Natural, patented and clinically proven natural hair growth products for women. The natural ingredients in Plenty Natural products will prevent thinning and hair loss and stimulate hair growth. Moreover, the availability and affordability of hair treatment products, such as shampoo, conditioner, oil, foam, etc., supported by the development of online distribution channels, are playing critical roles in increasing spending on hair care products worldwide.
Additionally, the primary factor boosting the market for hair loss treatment products is the growing number of organizations that spread awareness and solutions for hair regrowth, like the National Alopecia Areata Foundation and the American Hair Loss Association. Various studies have depicted that more than 50% of the Indian and Chinese populations look for hair fall control products, including shampoos, conditioners, serums, and other product types in the overall hair care product range. It indicates strong demand for hair loss treatment products in these countries compared to others.
Asia-Pacific Holds the Largest Market Share
Asia-Pacific holds the largest market share for hair loss medication and anticipates dominating the market over the forecast period. Hair loss is one of China's most common health problems. According to a survey conducted by the China Association of Health Promotion and Education in 2021, over 250 million Chinese experienced hair loss, wherein 1 out of 6 people suffer from thinning hair. Millennials are the prominent group suffering from hair thinning which recorded 39.3% in 2021.
Due to the high incidence of hair loss issues, the market for hair loss treatment products is witnessing increased demand in Asian regions. Moreover, the increasing disposable income induced Asian consumers to spend more on hair care products. Thus, the consumption upgrade resulted in the growth of hair loss treatment products in the market. Major manufacturers like Unilever PLC, L'Oréal SA, and Shiseido Company Limited have introduced innovative, affordable, readily available, and enhanced hair loss treatment products yearly in all supermarkets and hypermarkets in developed and developing countries.
