The market growth is primarily driven by a growing demand for wellness-focused and personalized products, increasing consumer awareness of health and environmental impacts, and the influence of social media. Key factors fueling this growth include an expanding older population seeking specialized products, a rise in gender-neutral and textured hair lines, ingredient transparency demands, and the popularity of premium and organic formulations.
