Hair removal or epilation is a process that removes the hair on an individual’s body. For many reasons including for trend, cultural practices, sports, military, or medical purposes, body hairs are removed. Growing importance for body appearance, rapidly changing beauty standards among individuals and high demand for treatment for laser hair removal devices are driving market growth factors. In addition, it is anticipated that the easy availability of advanced hair removal devices through e-commerce and retail stores and increased use of such devices at home would fuel the growth of the global hair removal devices market. However, the high cost of hair removal laser and IPL devices and multiple treatment requirements may restrict the market growth over the forecast period.

The market of global hair removal devices is divided on the basis of type and end-user. On the basis of type, the market is sub-segmented into laser-based devices, IPL, and energy-based devices. Moreover, on the basis of end-user, the market is further sub-segmented into dermatology clinics, beauty clinics, and others. Further, the laser-based devices segment is considered as one of the largest segment among others. This is due to the rapid results of the laser-based treatment. For all skin type and hair, laser-based devices are considered safe and cause less pain. This equipment is expected to experience significant demand with high technological advances throughout the forecast period. Further, the laser-based devices include Nd: YAG, diode, and alexandrite laser. Whereas, due to the growing demand for home-use devices, the intense pulse light (IPL) device segment has a significant share in the market. IPL technology is considered as one of the best options for using at home. However, at multiple wavelengths, these systems produce light that scatters within the skin. These devices are less efficient than laser devices. Moreover, there are various energy-based devices available which include trimmers. These devices are suitable for all skin type. Besides all the advantages of energy-based devices; these devices have low intensity when it is compared to other devices. Therefore, over the forecast period, this segment is expected to show slow growth.

Geographically, the market of global hair removal devices is segmented on the basis of North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World. North America is expected to have a significant share in the global hair removal devices market. This is due to the increase in the number of hair removal procedures in the US and the well-established healthcare infrastructure. There were approximately 1.1 million laser hair removal procedures performed in the US in 2016, according to the National Laser Institute. In addition, increasing numbers of options for permanent hair removal treatments are likely to support regional market growth. The major players of this market are Koninklijke Philips N.V., Procter & Gamble Co., Lumenis, Ltd., Panasonic Corp., Spectrum Brands, Inc., Alma Lasers, Ltd., and Cynosure, Inc.
