Increasing Number of Nail Salons to Augment the Nail Polish Market Growth
Nail Polish is a lacquer used to decorate
both fingernails and toenails. It is also used to protect the nail plates. Nail
Polish is made using various chemical compositions such as pearls, resins, pigments,
plasticizers, film formers, solvents, and thickening agents (such as stearalkonium
hectorite) to bind other ingredients. It is available in multiple colors. The
increase in the female population has boosted the demand for nail polish
worldwide. Customers are choosing nail polish based on their choice of nail
art.
The increasing population of working women
and growing awareness among consumers about grooming is driving the growth of
the cosmetic industry, which in turn is driving the nail
polish market growth. In 2019, Nail polish generated sales of around
US$ 552.51 million, accounting for around 40% of the nail products in the
United States. Moreover, the increasing number of nail salons and increasing
disposable income is another factor, which may lead to the market growth. Increased
disposable income leads to increased spending on personal care & cosmetic
products. According to Statista, in 2019, the per capita disposable income in
the United States was US$ 45,579. Thus, with rising disposable income, the demand
for nail salons is expected to increase in the near years.
However, due to growing health concerns, the
use of harmful chemicals in the manufacturing of nail polish may hamper the
nail polish market growth. Nail polish contains hazardous and toxic chemical
ingredients such as dibutyl phthalate and toluene, which can adversely affect
human health. Health risks, such as chronic health problems, reproductive
health issues, etc., are associated with nail polish products. It is mandatory
for cosmetic manufacturers (under section 740.1) to put a warning on the
product about possible health hazards that can result from using a product,
according to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Moreover, a
label should contain a list of ingredients used in that product.
In terms of geography, the nail polish market
can be divided into six regions, such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South
America, the Middle East, and Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to continue its
dominance due to the increasing population of working women, which in turn
increases the demand for nail polish products in the region. Key players
operating in the market are adopting various strategies such as new product
launches or business expansion to broaden their product portfolio, as well as
market presence. For instance, in December 2019, Kay Beauty forayed into nail
products and launched its first nail varnish collection with around 36 shades.
Moreover, in October 2019, Hello Kitty and OPI launched a new limited-edition
collection in India with around 25 shades.
