1 Market Overview
1.1 Definition and presentation
The hair salon industry, an integral part of the vibrant beauty market, has proven resilient and dynamic, adapting to changing consumer needs and the challenges posed by unprecedented global events. In 2021, the global hairdressing salon market was worth $50,000 million, with forecasts to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.42 percent through 2027, aiming to reach $54,400 million.
This sector, however, has faced significant obstacles due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Italy, a hub for fashion and beauty, the hairstyling sector accounts for 4.5 percent of the total cosmetics market, a key Made in Italy segment. Despite its importance, the sector has experienced a dramatic decline, falling by -16.5 percent in 2020 compared to 2019. In monetary terms, this translated into a loss of 170 million euros, while Italian exports of hair products to the world declined by -10.7 percent, mainly due to industry closures and government-imposed lockdowns.
