Global Hair Colorants Market 2023
The Hair Colorants Market is projected to reach a value of USD 18,387 million by 2028, with an estimated size of USD 14,082 million in 2023. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.48% during the forecast period of 2023-2028.
Hair colorants encompass a wide range of commercial products that can be used to color hair in various shades and tones, from light blondes to blacks, including golden ash, reddish, mahogany, violets, and more.
The primary driver for the growth of the hair colorants market is the increasing use of hair color among the aging population to cover gray hair. The prevalence of an aging population in regions such as Europe, Eastern Asia, and Southeast Asia presents a significant opportunity for the expansion of the hair colorants market.
Furthermore, the market is fueled by the rising incidence of gray hair among the young working population, attributed to factors like stress and improper diet. Consumers' preference for permanent hair colorants, which offer long-lasting results, also contributes to the market's growth. However, concerns regarding the potential health risks associated with the toxic chemicals present in hair colorants impede the market's progress.
To address this issue, companies are developing better solutions by utilizing natural ingredients and avoiding the use of ammonia. The global organic hair color market is expected to experience positive growth due to the increasing prevalence of skin allergies among consumers. Overall, the outlook for the global organic hair color market remains favorable over the next five years.
