Mens Grooming Products Market - By Product Type, By End Use, By Price Range, By Distribution Channel Forecast 2024 – 2032

Men’s Grooming Products Market Size

The global men’s grooming products market size was valued at USD 55.5 billion in 2023. The market is expected to grow from USD 58 in 2024 to USD 89.8 billion in 2032, at a CAGR of 5.6%. The increasing participation of men in grooming activities is directly related to the expansion of the men’s grooming market. Traditionally, providers of cosmetics had exclusively targeted women by making beauty and skincare products, but now it looks like the focus is shifting towards men too.
 

This is attributed to the enhanced self-grooming, cleanliness, and general effort put towards one's looks which seems to be on the rise among males in modern times. The way the media represents male influencers and celebrity endorsers of various grooming products normalizes the concept of self-admiration or self-grooming. A survey conducted by lending tree in 2023 points out that men in U.S. are spending more than women on beauty products, at USD 2,256 as opposed to USD 1,283 spent by women. This marks a significant change in men’s spending behaviors with respect to grooming.
 

Men are beginning to realize the advantages of a well-kept appearance that includes healthier skin, better hygiene, and self-appreciation. This change in attitude is also apparent in the growing number of rival brands. Companies are focusing to provide men what they seek by broadening the product line to include anti-aging skin care, beard care, and new scents. This shift is indicative of some movement to a more gender sensitive perspective in the marketing of men’s grooming products.
 

In addition, the emergence of social media networks has increased the focus on appearance risks and forces men to purchase grooming items. This includes various product types which also include organic and non-chemical products which enhance market growth. Furthermore, the level of celebrity endorsement of the product and the focus on marketing to men has risen which assists in the easier acceptance of these goods. These marketing strategies which are directed towards men grooming will help companies to target men's audience and develop men specific products by understanding their requirements which will boost men's grooming market during forecast years.
