The global men’s personal care market size was valued at USD 31.2 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 68.89 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2022 to 2030.
The perception of beauty standards for men is changing. Decades-long gender stereotypes have begun to break down, and men's and women's beauty products are now being created. Men's personal care products encompass a vast array of items devoted to personal hygiene and the enhancement of the individual's personality. Male consumers use fragrances, deodorants, hair gel, mouthwashes, hair conditioners, and facial products, to name a few, to look and feel good.
In recent years, the notion that men should not use beauty and grooming products has waned, and the market has become awash with promises. Social networking initiatives, digitally native start-ups, and global brands that cater to the men's personal care segment augur well for the market's growth. Moreover, increasing awareness about personal care, inclination toward specific grooming products, demand for gender-specific products, e-commerce boom, Gen Z consumers' disregard for gender binaries, concerns about health, body image, hygiene, self-care, emerging fashion trends, and the influence of social media is driving the men's personal care market. In addition, the need to enhance product and service quality for customers is likely to encourage the development of personalised men's personal care products. Future global market expansion is anticipated to be fueled by a number of factors, including the introduction of new products and the formation of strategic alliances among the world's leading corporations.
Emerging fashion trends and the influence of social media have gravitated consumers toward self-grooming and self-care, ignoring the gender binaries of such products and regimens as not being for men. Due to an increase in consumer disposable income, the costs associated with maintaining a healthy beard, healthy hair, healthy skin, etc., have increased. In addition, the increase in the number of men in the corporate world, who value cleanliness, proper attire, and a refined appearance, has fueled the demand for personal care products. The increased presence of male models representing personal care brands, male make-up artists, and actors promoting the use of grooming products has had a positive effect on the men's personal care industry, as more men demand these products.
As one of the most prominent strategies to pique consumer interest, the majority of companies on the market have increasingly relied on social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook to market their products. Established players in the beauty and cosmetics market have capitalised on these influencers by introducing innovative products designed specifically for men.
The majority of men's personal care products used for skin care, face care, and other beauty treatments contain allergenic chemicals. Coal tar (used in the preparation of hair dyes and cosmetics), diethanolamine (used in the preparation of soap and shampoos), glycol ethers (used in the preparation of cosmetics), lead, mercury, and other potentially hazardous chemicals are used in the preparation of personal care products. Additionally, lead and mercury are employed in the production of cosmetics, such as skin lightening creams, which can cause headaches and damage the nervous system; that is why people are moving towards natural products.
Moreover, COVID-19 had a significant impact on the purchasing patterns of consumers for personal care products. The pandemic increased consumer demand for personal care products made with natural ingredients. During the pandemic, it was anticipated that the increased need to maintain hygiene and sanitation at manufacturing facilities, as well as the increased need to source clean ingredients for personal care products, would have a significant impact on product purchases. Due to the risk of infection, consumers avoided purchasing personal care products with synthetic ingredients and preservatives prior to the pandemic outbreak.
In the years to come, market participants may view online shopping and e-commerce as an opportunity. Online shopping has many benefits, including faster access to a wider selection of goods and services.
Due to the availability of a vast selection of products, consumers are attracted to online shopping. Payment convenience is another factor that encourages consumers to adopt online shopping. There is also no danger of money being stolen. The primary driver of online shopping growth is the expanding use of the internet and mobile devices. In addition to outlets, e-commerce has become a necessity for the players in order to expand their global sales and customer base.

In 2021, sales of men's personal care products dominated the North American market. A high concentration of lead producers in the region, such as in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, who prioritise research and growth, product innovation, development, and new product launches in the men's segment, is the primary factor driving the region's demand. By introducing organic and natural space products, businesses focus on gaining the favour of male millennials. The North American region's developed economy has led to an increase in spending on personal care products. In addition to some of the oldest and most well-known brands, the personal care industry in the region has seen the entry of a number of new players who will ultimately contribute to market expansion.
Over the forecast period, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing regional market for men's personal care. The inclination of men toward corporate lifestyles and the rise in the number of educated customers, particularly in emerging economies such as China and India, are the primary factors driving the market in this region. Pricing, product consistency, and the availability of a range of mid-priced brands that appeal to men continue to play a significant role in influencing consumer decisions. In addition, there has been a substantial increase in the number of middle-class individuals with increased discretionary income. Men are abandoning their aversion to personal care products and overcoming the stigma that has kept them away from face masks and moisturising lotions for so long.

During the forecasted time frame, e-commerce delivery channels are anticipated to experience the greatest growth.

Covid-19 had some profound adverse impacts on the global advanced ceramics market.
COVID-19 spread across the world from China, making the whole world stand still and to a complete lockdown situation. Covid-19 is an infectious disease that was caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. During the time, the fatality rate among the population above 40 was also high globally. The disease causes severe illness for people suffering from medical conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, etc.
Considering the situation during that time, it was declared a pandemic which led to numerous countries, including the major economies like China, the United States, India, and others, implementing lockdowns which adversely affected the global economy.
In the first two quarters of 2020, the economic and industrial operations temporarily halted. Almost every manufacturing unit where advanced ceramics is used, such as electrical and electronics, transportation, industrial, chemical, and other End-user Industries (except medical), reduced their manufacturing capacities due to the lack of workers. The lockdown implemented put a halt to global supply chains. This resulted in repercussions in terms of both production and demand for advanced ceramics.
With time the lockdowns were uplifted, and relaxation was made to the public. Gradually, the economy picked up the pace and started its operations, bringing the demand in the global advanced ceramics market and increasing among various industries. As the situation improved during the initial months of 2021, the economies also strengthened their fiscal policies and initiated their development process; the end-user industries began their activities, bringing the overall ceramics market back on track.
