An Overview of the Hair Styling Products Market in Germany
Mintel’s Germany hair styling products research shows that inflationary prices and a return to out of home social occasions have given the hair styling market in Germany a push.
Because hair styling is a social affair, with inspiration primarily coming from friends and family, as well as a way for consumers to relax, using the act of hair styling as support for their wellbeing, brands are well positioned to promote their products as an affordable luxury.
Germany Hair Styling Products Research: What Consumers Want and Why
- The Impact of Inflation on Hair Care in Germany: Despite low spending power, German consumers retain interest in hairstyling. However, 73% of styling product users changed their hair styling habits in the past year to save money. Nonetheless, brands maintain a strong hold on the hair styling products market in Germany, own label market value especially shows only minor changes.
- The Impact of Hair Care on Hair Styling: In spite of squeezed incomes, interest in hair styling remains high. However, the hairstyling sector is getting influenced by the hair care industry. This opens up opportunities for brands to draw from their expertise in hair care and create possibilities for consumers to trade up.
Forecast for the Hair Styling Market in Germany
- EU regulations are taking effect forcing brands to keep up with demands to increase sustainability, as 64% of German consumers place importance on using beauty and grooming products that contain sustainably sourced ingredients. While this is a welcome change to consumers, brands will be challenged to develop new approaches for formulation and product packaging to stay within the guidelines.

What goes into a Mintel Market Intelligence Report?
Curious about how a Market Intelligence report comes together? We like to think of it as building a detailed puzzle. We start with individual pieces: data from consumers, market statistics, industry trends, and online conversations. Then our expert analysts add world-class human insight and industry knowledge. The pieces are assembled to reveal a clear, comprehensive picture of a market.
The Four Pillars of Our Research
We use a combination of four main research methods when creating our reports, each adding a valuable perspective:
- Consumer Research: Direct surveys with real people, giving us clear, current insights into what people think and do.
- Desk Research: In-depth review of trusted data sources. We use this rich database, plus powerful internal tools that track new products and market sizes, to detect trends and guide forecasts.
- Trade Research: Insights from conversations with industry experts. Their real-world experience helps us understand what’s happening behind the scenes.
- Brand and Social Media Research: Analysis of online opinions and trends. This lets us spot trends, measure brand sentiment, and capture feedback in real time, adding further depth to our research.
Bringing It All Together
Each of these four pillars provides a different piece of the puzzle. Consumer research tells us what customers think, desk research provides the factual framework, trade research offers an insider’s view, and social media analysis reveals public sentiment.
Our expert analysts are skilled in weaving these diverse data streams together. They apply a range of quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques to uncover the deeper story, connecting the dots to deliver clear, actionable insights. This comprehensive, multi-layered process is how we transform raw data into a market intelligence report you can trust to inform your most important business decisions.
