The Hair Removal Services industry has seen significant growth in recent years, driven by the increasing popularity of aesthetic procedures, rising incomes and social media trends. Professional hair removal isn’t a new beauty treatment, but growing interest in the procedure has brought spending on it to a new level. Social media trends combined with pent-up demand for cosmetic procedures from the pandemic led more people to seek out hair removal than ever in 2021, driving revenue growth. While growth has subsided since a wider acceptance of hair removal and the popularity of beauty and self-care routines continue to introduce more people to the procedure. In all, revenue has been expanding at a CAGR of 5.7% to total an estimated $5.0 billion in 2024, including an expected decline of 1.4% in 2024 as consumer spending slows.
