Factors Fueling the Growth of the Global Shampoo Market
There are several factors that are expected to fuel the growth of the shampoo market worldwide between the years 2016 and 2020.
One of the primary drivers for this market will be the increased demand for specialized products, or shampoos that serve a specific purpose. There are various types of hair textures and there are shampoos that are designed to be used to improve different textures; for example, shampoos that enhance the volume of fine, limp hair, and shampoos that help to control frizzy hair. Scalp conditions also vary from person to person -- oily and dry, for instance -- and there are different shampoos that are designed to improve the condition of the scalp, too. During the forecasted period, the increased demand for shampoos that are intended to enhance the condition of the various hair textures and scalp conditions will augment the global shampoo market.
An increase in per capita income is also expected to boost the value of the global shampoo market over the next few years. Those who have a higher income will likely invest in customized and more expensive shampoos.
An increase demand in shampoos that are designed to specifically meet the needs of men will also fuel the growth of the global shampoo market. Moreover, heightened awareness of the importance of personal care throughout the world will also help to boost the size of this market in the coming years.
Lastly, the availability of different types of shampoos through a variety of distribution channels, as well as aggressive marketing techniques will also increase the size and value of this market.
Growth of the Global Shampoo Market: Product Type Segmentation
The global shampoo market is segmented by types of shampoos. There are three main types, which include:
- Health shampoos, which are intended to improve the overall health of the hair
- Anti-dandruff shampoos, which are designed to treat the flaking and itching that occurs with dry scalp and seborrhea
- Herbal shampoos, or shampoos that are made of natural ingredients
During the forecasted time period, the health shampoo segment is projected to dominate the global shampoo market. It is estimated that this segmentation will generate approximately $18 billion US dollars by the close of the year 2020. The increased desire of the global population to improve the look of their hair will contribute to the increase in the size of this segmentation.
The herbal shampoo segmentation will also increase in size over the next few years. More people are becoming aware of the benefits of natural ingredients over synthetic ingredients. For example, natural ingredients can prevent the development of dry scalp. Moreover, these ingredients are gentler on the hair, which translates to healthier hair.
