UV Nail Gel Market

UV Nail Gel Market Outlook (2022-2032)

Worldwide demand for UV nail gel is predicted to increase at a steady CAGR of 5.7% from 2022 to 2032. Currently, the global market for UV nail gel stands at a valuation of US$ 51.5 million and is forecasted to reach US$ 89.7 million by the end of 2032.

High influence of social media influencers and celebrities on the physical appearances of people has led to increased aesthetic awareness among the general population and this is expected to primarily support sales of UV nail gel over the coming years. The increasing interest of the millennial population in nail art and nail care is expected to bolster UV nail gel demand going forward.

UV nail gel polish has several advantages over conventional nail polish such as faster drying time, a long-lasting finish, a wide variety of colours to choose from, and additional protection for the nails themselves. These advantages over other types of nail polish are expected to elevate UV nail gel shipments over the next ten years.

Growing disposable income, increasing aesthetic awareness, rising demand for personal care products, high availability of nail care products, and frequent new launches are other prospects that could potentially drive demand for cosmetic nail products.

• In May 2022, Sally Hansen, a global leader in the nail care industry unveiled its much-awaited Sally Hansen x Friends collection. The collection features 10 new gel nail polish shades that are named after iconic dialogues and catchphrases from the evergreen hit sitcom Friends.

Developing countries such as India, Brazil, and China are anticipated to provide attractive opportunities for key UV nail gel companies in the global landscape. The market for UV nail gel in China is set to exhibit expansion at a positive CAGR of 7.1% through 2032 and is estimated to account for a revenue valuation of US$ 10 million by the end of the forecast period.

On the flip side, health concerns associated with the use of UV nail gel, such as the risk of skin cancer due to prolonged exposure to UV light and the inability of nails to breathe under the gel coat, are expected to impede market growth over the coming years to some extent.

Demand for durable UV nail gel is expected to be prominent owing to high demand from consumers and the increasing use of nail polish by males is also expected to benefit overall market growth across the forecast period.
