The increasing emphasis on personal hygiene and routine grooming is expected to drive the growth of the skin care store sector in the coming years. Personal hygiene involves regularly cleaning the body and hair with soap and water to prevent illnesses, while routine grooming includes activities like scrubbing, blow-drying, and brushing, which contribute to a healthy lifestyle. Many individuals are choosing skin care products as they enhance skin texture, improve overall appearance, and support personal hygiene. As a result, rising awareness of personal hygiene and regular grooming is likely to boost demand for skin care stores. For example, in December 2024, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US federal government agency, reported that average annual spending on personal care products and services increased from US$ 866 in 2022 to US$ 950 in 2023, marking a 9.7% year-over-year growth. Consequently, heightened awareness of personal hygiene and routine grooming will support the expansion of skin care stores.
