- Global Wet Shave Market to Reach US$16.7 billion by 2016
- Key Leading Countries are U.K , U.S.A & India
TechNavio today published its report on the Global Wet Shave Market, stating that this market will reach US$16.7 billion by 2016, growing at a CAGR of 7.85 percent.
The demand for wet shaving products has been increasing significantly in recent times due to the cost benefits that the traditional wet shaving methods provide. Moreover, increasing usage of personal grooming and personal care products among men, the availability of multi-blade technology, as well as the growing demand for razors by women, constitutes some of the key factors driving the growth of this market during the forecast period.
Furthermore, with the introduction of cartridges with multiple blade and lubricant stripes, the demand for non-disposable razors has been increasing year on year. In addition, the economic growth witnessed in many countries and the increasing disposable income among the population is boosting the sales of wet shaving products in developing countries.
Speaking on this occasion, a senior analyst from TechNavio’s Healthcare and Life Sciences team stated, “Men accounted for 83 percent of the Global Wet Shave market, whereas women accounted for 17 percent in 2012. The Global Wet Shave market for Men’s is expected to increase to 86 percent by 2016, while Women’s segment is expected to decrease to 14 percent by 2016. This will be primarily due to increasing beauty consciousness and lifestyle changes among Men.”

Although the market in the developed countries is growing at a moderate rate, it is growing at a rapid pace in the developing countries such as China and India, during the forecast period. Moreover, our analysts observe that the premium quality razors from the top three brands such as Gillette, Wilkinson Sword, and Schick have been occupying more shelf space in major retail outlets across the globe. The competition will intensify during the forecast period, because of an increase in product extensions by the top players in this market accounting for 85-90 percent of the overall market revenue in 2012.
