North America has established itself as the dominant region in the global hair care products market over the years. The region is expected to account for 42.2% of the market share in 2024. With the presence of key manufacturers like Procter & Gamble, L'Oreal and Unilever, the U.S. and Canada account for the bulk of production and consumption in the region. These companies have been in the business for decades and have built strong brand recognition through extensive marketing and product innovation. As a result, consumers in North America have developed strong loyalty towards major brands and are willing to pay premium prices.  These leading brands also dominate retail shelves, making their products easily accessible to consumers. E-commerce has further boosted discoverability and trialed new brands can challenge incumbents. However, private labels from major retailers like Target, Walmart, etc. are increasingly giving mainstream brands tough competition on price. Exports from North America into Latin America and Asia Pacific have also been growing steadily, aiding the regional leadership.

The hair care products market in Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing in recent years, with China and India as the main drivers. Changing lifestyle and increasing disposable incomes are causing consumers to spend more on personal grooming. The large, youthful population is highly influential online and open to new trends from Western markets. Local brands in Asia Pacific have updated their formulations and packaging to appear more premium and match evolving preferences.  E-commerce has had a transformative impact here, exposing consumers to global as well as niche domestic brands. Multinational corporations too have strengthened their presence through both acquisitions and by developing customized products for the diverse Asian beauty standards and hair textures.
