The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a notable impact on the services sector, particularly in business services, IT, and professional consulting. The increased costs of imported technology, office equipment, and critical digital infrastructure are driving up operating expenses for service providers, compelling them to either pass these costs on to clients or absorb the financial strain themselves. Outsourcing firms and IT service providers are grappling with higher hardware costs and supply chain delays, which are disrupting project timelines and squeezing profitability. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs have weakened demand for U.S.-based professional services in key global markets, slowing export-driven revenues. To navigate these challenges, the sector must focus on accelerating digital transformation, optimizing costs, and strengthening domestic client relationships to sustain growth and remain competitive in an increasingly uncertain trade environment.

The nail care products market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $22.81 billion in 2024 to $23.96 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to fashion trends, health and wellness trends, social media influence, retail distribution channels, cultural shifts.
The nail care products market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $28.62 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainability and eco-friendly products, digital beauty influencers, customization and personalization, rise of indie brands, innovative nail art techniques. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, personalized nail care subscriptions, sustainable packaging, virtual try-on experiences, clean and non-toxic formulations.
The forecast of 4.5% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The U.S. is expected to encounter higher product costs as nail hardeners, UV gel compounds, and long-wear pigments sourced from South Korea and Italy become more expensive to incorporate into consumer nail care lines. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growing awareness of personal grooming is expected to propel the growth of the nail care products market going forward. Awareness of personal grooming refers to maintaining cleanliness and neatness in one's appearance through regular grooming practices. Awareness of personal grooming plays a vital role in promoting the use of nail care products, as individuals prioritize well-maintained nails for overall hygiene and a polished appearance. For instance, in September 2023, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US-based fact-finding agency for the federal government, personal care products and services increased by 12.3% in 2022, which follows a large increase of 19.3% from 2021. After declining by 1.0% in 2021, personal care products grew by 15.5% in 2022. Personal care services also increased by 9.1%, particularly notable since this follows the 50.4% rise from 2021. Therefore, the growing awareness of personal grooming is driving the growth of the nail care products market.
