Key growth drivers
Consumers are spending more on personal grooming and wellness. Social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok influence beauty trends and salon bookings. Short videos and tutorials now drive nearly 40 percent of customer decisions.
Demand for organic and sustainable beauty products continues to rise. Mobile salon services and home-visit treatments are expanding access to services in urban and semi-urban regions. Customers also prefer personalised treatments based on skin type, hair needs, and lifestyle.
Male grooming is another growing segment. Men’s salon services are expanding at an estimated annual rate of 15 percent.
