Traditional powder hair dye will have higher market share initially due to economic feasibility, especially in a majority of low- and medium-income countries.
But now, the role has been reversed, and manufacturers have started providing crème-based hair color at lower costs and in small sachets. With liquid hair dye gaining major focus from the demand side, it will give added impetus to overall market growth over the forecast period.
Online sales have seen a boom during the ongoing pandemic. Majority of salons and professional stores were closed, because of which, it has been difficult for customers to continue their regular hair care regimes.
The only option left was online purchase of these product for hair coloring at home. Thus, such a necessity has boosted the online sales channel share, which will continue to grow post pandemic as well.
Manufacturers have been facing various issues related to hair dye ingredients. For instance, coal tar-based hair dye is totally banned in the European Union due to a suspicion on coal tar possessing cancer causing properties.
Whereas, in North America, this hair color can be sold provided it has a cautionary statement on the product indicating the presence of coal tar and to conduct a skin allergy test 12 hours before hair dying. Thus, such variable regulations across different regions are forcing manufacturers to use different ingredients accordingly.
