Portugal, Canada, and the United States were the countries with the highest house price to income ratio in 2024. In all three countries, the index exceeded 130 index points, while the average for all OECD countries stood at 116.2 index points. The index measures the development of housing affordability and is calculated by dividing nominal house price by nominal disposable income per head, with 2015 set as a base year when the index amounted to 100. An index value of 120, for example, would mean that house price growth has outpaced income growth by 20 percent since 2015. How have house prices worldwide changed since the COVID-19 pandemic? House prices started to rise gradually after the global financial crisis (2007–2008), but this trend accelerated with the pandemic. The countries with advanced economies, which usually have mature housing markets, experienced stronger growth than countries with emerging economies. Real house price growth (accounting for inflation) peaked in 2022 and has since lost some of the gain. Although, many countries experienced a decline in house prices, the global house price index shows that property prices in 2023 were still substantially higher than before COVID-19.

The Hairdressing and Beauty Services industry is navigating a significant transition period shaped by shifting consumer behaviour and evolving market dynamics. Over the past five years, declining discretionary income has led to a reduced frequency of salon visits, lower rebooking rates and increased appointment cancellations, eroding revenue stability and staff productivity. Over this period, industry revenue is expected to contract at an annualised rate of 0.3% through 2025-26, reaching $1.6 billion, with a further slight decline of 0.1% anticipated in 2025-26. Profitability has also come under pressure as heightened competition, rising operational expenses and increased price sensitivity among clients have compressed margins. Salons have responded with value-driven promotions, digital booking systems and targeted marketing to retain clients and mitigate volatility. Despite these challenges, growth in the core female demographic aged between 15 and 45 has provided a resilient customer base, supporting demand for essential grooming and advanced treatments. Rising health and appearance consciousness is fuelling the premium segment, with consumers seeking science-backed, sustainable products and holistic experiences. The industry is also experiencing structural change as flexible work arrangements like rent-a-chair models and independent contracting intensify competition and lower operating costs. Salons are increasingly investing in upskilling, technology and innovation to differentiate their services. While barbershops are enjoying a resurgence, evolving into community hubs and expanding the scope of male grooming.The industry outlook is optimistic, underpinned by projected growth in discretionary income, easing inflation and steady wage gains. As consumers feel more financially secure, they're poised to increase the frequency of salon visits, opt for premium services and experiment with new beauty treatments, driving up average transaction values and supporting revenue stability. Salon chains are set to strengthen their leadership in the low- and mid-price segments by leveraging operational efficiencies, expanding their footprint and investing in digital platforms and customer experience. Sustainability will become a core competitive differentiator, with salons adopting organic and eco-friendly products to attract environmentally conscious clients and unlock new marketing channels. Meanwhile, the barbershop services segment will continue to rise, propelled by modern male grooming trends, multicultural influences and a strong focus on community and wellbeing. Salons that embrace innovation, personalisation and sustainability will be best positioned to capture growth opportunities and adapt to evolving consumer expectations, ensuring long-term resilience and relevance in a dynamic market. Overall, industry revenue is forecast to grow at an annualised 2.1% over the five years through 2030-31 to $1.8 billion.
