Depilatory Products Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The Global Depilatory Products Market is expected to experience rapid growth of 6.39% CAGR, reaching a market size of US$12.703 billion in 2030 from US$9.318 billion in 2025.

Depilatories are cosmetic products that are used to remove unwanted hair on the surface of the skin and are typically in the form of creams, lotions, gels, and powder. There is a huge difference between the epilator and the depilator regarding hair removal. While epilation removes hair from its roots completely, depilation removes hair only at the surface of the skin. Depilatories are often considered more convenient and less expensive than opting for salon or spa treatments for hair removal. The chemical properties in depilatory products aid in the hair removal process by breaking down bonds in keratin present in hair that gives it strength. When the hair gets weakened, it either disintegrates or is distressed enough that it can be scraped or wiped away.

Rising disposable incomes and living standards coupled with increasing urbanization are significantly driving the market growth of depilatory products globally. People are getting more and more conscious with respect to personal grooming while enhancing their aesthetic appeal themselves. As such, convenient depilatory products are gaining popularity among consumers who are looking for easy and quick options, which, in turn, is fuelling the global market growth of depilatory products.

The growing working women population with a busy lifestyle is further accelerating the demand for convenient grooming products, thereby driving the global depilatory products market growth. The emerging popularity of hair removal products, both chemical and non-chemical, among men is a great opportunity for market players to diversify their product portfolio for this gender and gain a larger market share, which will continue to bolster the overall market growth of depilatory products across the globe during the forecast period.
