In the past few years, particularly with the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, men have become increasingly aware of skincare, ingredients, and efficacy & application of a wide array of grooming products. With the ever-evolving needs of men, numerous innovative products being launched, and the emerging trends of botanical & natural ingredients, the men's grooming industry has come a long way, and a dramatic expansion is likely in the following years.

Manscaping, which once was taboo, is another opportunistic area for market participants. A majority of men nowadays are going for hair removal creams or sprays made explicitly for them. Moreover, numerous brands are adding men's intimate care products to their portfolios.

Hence, as more & more men have indulged in this domain, grooming has broken the gender barrier. With the launch of make-up collections for men and male-targeted & gender-neutral products, these trends are certainly creating new avenues for the men's grooming market to witness lucrative prospects in India over the coming years.

Impact of Covid-19 on the India Men’s Grooming Market

The advent of Covid-19 in 2020 moderately impacted the India Men's Grooming Market due to reduced production & consumption and a significant decline in consumer spending. Since many social arrangement facilities & offices shut down due to stringent movement restrictions, men's grooming products, particularly the shaving segment, witnessed a notable decline in sales.

However, the 'Do-It-Yourself (DIY)' grooming trend witnessed significant growth amidst the pandemic. Since many beauty salons were closed, and even in places where they were not, consumers were forgoing services owing to concerns over close physical contact. As a result, men were trying different looks during the lockdown, which marginally surged the sales of men's grooming products. Presently, personal grooming firms are actively focusing on their e-commerce platforms & supplying at-home personal care goods to ensure consumer engagement on their websites.

    • Specialty Stores
    • Supermarkets/Hypermarkets

Here, supermarkets & hypermarkets hold the majority market share for men's grooming products in India, owing to their easy availability, extensive range of products, and hassle-free payments & product replacements. These stores provide customers with a one-stop shopping experience, coupled with a detailed in-person product demo, which allows people to choose from numerous brands with exciting combos or promotional offers. Several brands have also started maintaining a dedicated section for men's grooming products across these stores. In addition, a typically lower price point than specialty stores in these stores is another prominent aspect contributing to the burgeoning sales of men's grooming products in India and, in turn, fueling the overall market expansion.

However, on the other hand, with the mounting penetration of the internet, smartphones, & social media, online sales channels have gained traction in the country, especially after the pandemic. More & more brands are doing target marketing and forming alliances with leading e-commerce platforms like Amazon & Flipkart in order to expand their online presence and gain a wider audience. Moreover, benefits like heavy discounts, quick doorstep deliveries, and easy financing options offered by online portals are also stimulating the growth of the men's grooming industry in India.
