The growing number of people getting tattoos is expected to drive the growth of the tattoo aftercare products market going forward. A tattoo is a permanent or temporary design on the skin created by inserting needles into the dermis layer. Tattoo aftercare products support this increasing tattoo population by promoting proper healing, reducing complications, and enhancing the overall tattoo experience. These products are specifically formulated to meet the needs of freshly tattooed skin, providing essential care and protection. For instance, in August 2023, the Pew Research Center, a US-based think tank, reported that 32% of Americans have at least one tattoo, with 22% of them having multiple tattoos. Therefore, the rising number of tattooed individuals is driving the tattoo aftercare products market.

Rising disposable incomes worldwide are further contributing to the growth of the tattoo aftercare products market. Disposable income is the amount of money remaining after accounting for taxes, social security contributions, rent, or mortgage payments. Higher disposable incomes allow consumers to invest in quality aftercare products to maintain the vibrancy and longevity of their tattoos. For instance, in October 2023, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), a US government agency, American disposable income rose from $18.24 trillion in Q1 2022 to $19.88 trillion in Q1 2023. Therefore, increasing disposable incomes are fueling demand for tattoo aftercare products.
