Abstract
The black haircare market consists of haircare products formulated and marketed specifically to black consumers. Through a blend of sales and retail data, along with the results of Mintel' s proprietary consumer survey, Mintel analyzes challenges and opportunities in the black haircare market.
Research insights include:
- Why are sales not growing as quickly as the U.S. population?
- How are hairstyling trends affecting sales of shampoo, conditioner, styling products, hair color, and relaxers?
- How do retail channels for sales of black haircare products differ from those of mainstream haircare, and how can stores better merchandise and plan item selection?
- How are large, multinational health and beauty companies affecting the market?
- How are new products being positioned to meet changing consumer demand?
- What percentage of black respondents use only black haircare products?
- Would some products fare better if opened to a wider market?
- How do products and brands differ from mainstream, and what products and segments are faring best among black haircare products?
- How does product use vary by gender among black respondents, and how can this best be used in gender-specific haircare lines?
This report covers shampoos, conditioners, relaxers, hair color, and styling products such as oil moisturizers and pomades. Wigs, hairpieces, hair extensions, and hairstyling appliances are excluded.
