Overview of Hair Care in Germany and the Skincare Industry

Mintel’s Germany hair care market research shows that consumer budgets remain strained as a consequence of rising living costs. Therefore, consumers feel encouraged to reduce the number of products they use and refrain from trading up, making it hard for brands to prove they are worth paying more for and resulting in minimal sales growth which will continue into 2024.

• German Facial Skincare Market Size: In 2022 the German skincare industry and haircare market for men reached a market value of €207.2 million.

Men’s Hair- and Skincare Report: What Consumers Want and Why

• Germany Hair Care Market Trends: 44% of German men aged 16-34 have a closely trimmed beard and 20% sport a thick beard. Given this trend in facial hair, beard care is one segment that shows promise in terms of value sales growth. Therefore, haircare and beard care that support hair growth are in high demand, however, innovation in growth-prompting products remains rather scarce and promises an abundance of opportunities.
• Opportunities for Hair- and Skincare in Germany: Almost half of men aged 16-34 enjoy researching facial skincare and haircare products, while a further 37% find educational content on social media trustworthy. Social media in particular, can drive spend in more direct ways since many German men would buy BPC products directly on social media.

Hair Care Germany Market Forecast

• The majority of men cap their spending on hair- and skincare products at €10. However, new ingredients and formats can engage younger male consumers and encourage trading up.
