Market Dynamics

Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Market Driver

The market for care and beauty devices is witnessing substantial growth, propelled by an increased demand for lightweight, compact, and portable beauty appliances. Numerous household cosmetic appliances, including personal care appliances, particularly those addressing facial and hair care, have gained global prominence. Changing consumer preferences and concerns about appliance usage have driven this shift, especially as consumers encounter portability challenges with heavier appliances like hair dryers. The market reflects a growing preference for portable and small-sized products that are convenient for travel.

Moreover, key players, including Panasonic, Koninklijke Philips, and TESCOM, continuously innovate to meet evolving consumer needs, offering products with enhanced pricing, smart features, and improved quality. This innovation encompasses reduced size and weight, multifunctional capabilities, smart features, and energy efficiency. As a result, the care and beauty device market is expected to experience significant growth, with various brands launching products catering to facial care, pore cleaning, and acne foundation in the global market.

Market Trends

Growing demand for multi-functional beauty appliances is an emerging trend in the market. Increasing demand for household appliances and the need for multi-featured or multi-functional products are driving companies to offer multi-functional beauty appliances. In addition, these appliances can address more than one beauty concern. Furthermore, consumers increasingly seek multi-functional beauty products as they offer high ROI over conventional beauty appliances.

Moreover, to address this growing demand, vendors constantly innovate to gain market competence, higher customer attention, expand the customer base, and generate demand for products. For example, Koninklijke Philips offers VisaPure Advanced Electric Facial Cleansing Brush. In addition, this appliance helps in cleaning pores, reduces the appearance of pores and blackheads, provides massage for glowing and healthy skin, and enhances the absorption of creams. Furthermore, these features enhance the skin tone and health. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.

Market Challenge

Fluctuating raw material prices used for making beauty appliances is a major challenge hindering market growth. The final market prices of appliances rely on factors including manufacturing, transportation, and marketing costs. In addition, the major portion of these costs goes into manufacturing, especially when purchasing raw materials. Furthermore, fluctuations in raw material prices directly impact either the end price of a product or the profit margins of manufacturers.

Moreover, these appliances are manufactured using raw materials such as electronic and electric equipment, steel, rubber, iron, and plastic. In addition, the cost of key raw materials such as steel, rubber, iron, and plastic witnesses high volatility in the international market. Therefore, high price increases the risk of contracting a consumer base for vendors. Furthermore, this is because consumers may move to a local brand selling products at low prices. Hence, such factors are hindering the market growth during the forecast period.

Market Customer Landscape

The market forecasting report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their market growth analysis strategies.
