Hair styling tools collectively refer to various products used to alter the shape or texture of hair, create hairstyles, and enhance shine, curl, texture, volume, or hold to a specific style.
The primary types of hair styling tools are manual and electric. Manual hair styling tools are operated by hand power rather than electric power and include brushes, scissors, straighteners, and others. Hair styling tools encompass hair dryers, hair curlers and rollers, hair straighteners, hair styling brushes and combs, and others (hair scalp massager). They are sold through channels such as hypermarkets and supermarkets, specialty stores, online channels, and others (salons, departmental stores). These styling tools have applications in households and commercial settings.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. 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.
Tariffs are impacting the hair styling tools market by increasing costs of imported heating elements, electronic control units, motors, and specialty plastics used in electric styling devices. Manufacturers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported components from Asia-Pacific manufacturing hubs such as China and South Korea. These tariffs are increasing product prices and pressuring margins for mass-market brands. However, they are also encouraging regional assembly, supplier diversification, and innovation in cost-optimized and energy-efficient hair styling tools.
