Synthèse

Since the provided text and data mainly focus on the French hairdressing market with figures, there's limited information about global trends post-2020. The data in the text indicates that the French hairdressing market saw a decline in the number of employing salons from 41,512  to 39,480 and a decrease in interest for professional training, with the number of apprentices in the hairdressing field also declining. While women, making up the majority of the clientele, visited salons 4.4 times per year with an average annual budget of €194.4, men frequented salons more often at 6.6 times per year but spent less. The hairdressing sector has been enduring structural changes, marked by increasing competition from home hairdressers who offer services at lower prices. This segment has grown to represent 25% of the sector's activity. Hair salons are diversifying their services and adapting to fashion trends, including the rise of barbershops, to meet new customer expectations. As for regulations, various financial aids and training requirements are mentioned, with specific legislation governing the qualifications to practice hairdressing and the use of certain products. In sum, the French hairdressing industry is negotiating a challenging landscape marked by increased competition, evolving consumer preferences, and a necessity for modernization and regulatory compliance, although this analysis lacks data specific to the period after 2020.

Trends and Dynamics in the Hairdressing Market

As we examine the hairdressing market within this particular country, several pivotal trends emerge. With billions being spent annually in hair salons, predominantly by the female demographic, the industry remains a significant player in the personal care and beauty sector. The market, however, is not without its challenges. An observable decline in the number of apprentices signals a potential future shortfall in trained professionals entering the field, a situation compounded by the slower creation and takeover rates of hairdressing businesses. Salons are facing increased competition from home hairdressers who, benefiting from lower overhead costs, are able to offer services at more competitive prices. This has precipitated a reported annual decline of approximately 1.1 percent in sector activity, with the number of salons with employees decreasing by a couple of thousand units over a six-year period.

Despite these shifts, demand for hairdressing services is still largely driven by female clients, who on average visit salons between four and five times a year, with an average spend of around 200 euros annually. Men frequent salons more often, averaging over six visits per year, albeit spending about half per visit compared to female clients. Service variety remains core to salon offerings, with haircuts, colorings, and treatments being the most availed services. A trend worth noting is the rise of do-it-yourself practices in hair care, including cutting and coloring, possibly impinging upon the traditional salon business model.

Another noteworthy development is the popularity of niche services such as dedicated barber shops that cater to a more male-oriented clientele, providing beard and hair grooming services. The market share of home hairdressing has also risen, now constituting a quarter of the sector's activity. From a regulatory standpoint, there are specific qualifications and conditions for setting up as a hairdresser—including proving professional competence and good character.

Additionally, the PACTE Act has proposed making the installation preparation course for setting up a business an optional undertaking. In terms of market structure, franchised hair salons and independent salons contribute significantly to the landscape, with leading franchises reporting revenues beyond 100 million euros.

Independent salons, too, play a role, with turnovers ranging from under 200,000 euros to figures undisclosed. In summary, the hairdressing market is undergoing structural changes shaped by competition from home services, shifting demands for training and recruitment, and evolving consumer preferences.

Market actors must adapt to these developments through innovation and by tailoring their offerings to meet new customer expectations.

1.1 Market overview

Hairdressers carry out a range of hygienic and aesthetic hair care operations, either in a salon or directly at the customer's home.

The global hair salon market is dynamic, and is expected to continue growing at a CAGR of 7.4% over theperiod 2022-2029. Several factors are fuelling this growth, such as the development of home services and mobile salons, the diversification of professional offerings, and the rise of "barbers".

In France, the market has been growing structurally for a decade, with the exception of 2020, when it was hit hard by the health crisis .
