Electric Hairbrush Market Overview
The global electric hairbrush market was valued at USD 277.3 million in 2022 and is estimated to reach USD 491.1 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.60% from 2022 to 2030. The rising importance of keeping shiny and straightened hair among female millennials, owing to the increasing number of fashion style movements on social media forums and electronic media, is projected to extend the scope for the electric hairbrush. Further, electric hairbrushes are anticipated to gain popularity in salons and other hair care spaces as they deliver convenience to buyers. For example, these electric hairbrushes function smoothly without inducing pain and can complete the work in a few minutes.
What is an Electric Hair Brush?
The electric hairbrush is used to untangle the hair, apart from combing. Two hairbrushes are known in the market: paddle and flat brushes with bristles made in a ceramic or tourmaline plate. Heat is induced by these plates, which release negative ions to make hair shiny and smooth. Moreover, it straightens the hair while combing. The electric hairbrush is a hair styling machine that has taken high demand from its target customers. These brushes are normally used by consumers who have curly or wavy hair.
Growth Drivers
Increased the Market Participants & Improved Technology
Haircare experts are also increasingly starting to use electric hairbrushes as these brushes can decrease time and effort and allow them to help more customers and increase profits. Vendors are increasingly beginning to discharge new products capable of delivering a wide variety of information to the user about their hair and giving them greater control over the various functionalities of the electric hairbrush, like temperature control. It lets consumers choose the best setting suited for their hair. There is also a growing market for electric hairbrushes among the male population, mainly for beard straightening and to give the beard a premium look.
Opportunities
Social media Influence Provides Many Opportunities
The growing impact of social media has also further increased people’s demand to appear aesthetically pleasing. Different trends are created daily on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok. The effect of these trends is visible among younger working-class individuals and college-goers. These campaigns and trends have facilitated the expanded demand for smart grooming. Hair loss is also a significant concern among the younger generation. Proper grooming and caring for one’s hair can delay and prevent hair loss. The transformations to diet patterns, climatic conditions, water, and air quality play a major role in the health of one’s hair. Using electric hairbrushes, one can strengthen their hair and prevent hair loss, hair thinning, volume loss, and even scalp dryness, as electric hairbrushes can decrease the oil produced on the scalp. These elements make the electric hair brush a vital part of the grooming process and show consumers’ willingness to spend heavily on electric hair brushes that can offer them the desired hair care.
Restraints
Side Effects & Maintenance Costs Hinder the Growth
Side effects after hair straightening, like dryness, split ends, and the threat of permanent hair loss, hinder the market growth. In expansion, many competitive products are available at lower costs in the market and manufactured by local and non-registered manufacturers, limiting market growth. The additional cost of repair & maintenance of such products is expected to restrain the market growth. Further, the wide availability of low-cost, manual hair brushes is anticipated to pose challenges to the growth of the electric hairbrush market.
Pre Covid-19 Impact on Global Electric Hair Brush Market
Before COVID-19, the industry players developed technologically advanced products, including an electric hairbrush, which will deliver better results for stylish hair. For instance, in January 2017, L’Oréal established a smart hairbrush under Kerastase Hair Coach’s brand name. The company’s research wing, L’Oreal’s Research and Innovation Technology Incubator, cooperated to develop these smart electric hairbrushes. This hairbrush features advanced sensors, Nokia’s Witlings digital-health unit designs, and L’Oréal patent-pending signal-analysis algorithms.
COVID-19 Impact on the Global Electric Hair Brush Market
During the COVID-19 period, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the companies working in this space noticed a decline in sales initially due to the widespread closure of stores, salons, and parlors. However, these numbers picked up with aggressive advertising and marketing strategies employed by the players as they positioned their products to offer a salon-like experience at home. Moreover, online sales of electric hairbrushes noticed a rapid increase, as consumers avoided going to the salon and instead styled hair at home, which is anticipated to support the market further during the forecast period.
