Market size
Grand View Research estimates the global beard-care products market at $3.4 billion in 2023 and $4.2 billion in 2026. The estimate covers products such as beard waxes, creams, shampoos, conditioners and oils.[22]
Forecast & CAGR
The market is forecast to reach $5.7 billion by 2030, representing a 7.7% compound annual growth rate from 2024 to 2030. A separate 2025 market definition covering both beard-care formulations and mechanical grooming tools estimates a broader $22.5 billion market in 2025 and 6.8% CAGR through 2030, illustrating the effect of category scope.[22][41]
Market share & regions
Europe held 39.9% of global beard-care products revenue in 2023, according to Grand View Research. For the broader men’s grooming category, North America represented 24.57% of global revenue in 2025, while the United States accounted for approximately 87.7% of North American revenue.[22]
Segmentation
Beard-care products are segmented by product type, including waxes and creams, shampoos and conditioners, and oils, and by distribution channel, including online and convenience stores. Broader market definitions also include serums, balms, trimmers, brushes and combs.[22][41]
Pricing
Available public market sources identify product categories and premiumisation as important competitive dimensions, but do not provide a sufficiently reliable, comparable global average selling price for beard-care products. NielsenIQ reports that total U.S. men’s grooming sales reached $7.1 billion in 2025, without publishing a beard-care-specific average price in the accessible source.[40]
Trends, drivers & challenges
Changing lifestyles, urbanisation and the rising popularity of beards are identified as market drivers. Euromonitor describes continued interest in beard maintenance, while innovation is shifting toward health, sustainability and technology; competition also faces pressure from slower traditional shaving demand.[22][42]
Consumer behavior & competition
U.S. men’s grooming sales reached $7.1 billion in 2025, with online growth outpacing in-store sales. NielsenIQ highlights clean ingredients, multifunctional products and engagement among Millennials, Generation Z and households with teens as important category themes.[40]
M&A
In October 2025, Godrej Consumer Products agreed to acquire the Muuchstac men’s-grooming business; Muuchstac reported approximately ₹80 crore in revenue and ₹30 crore adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended September 2025. In September 2026, Dollar Shave Club announced its acquisition of Truly Beauty, expanding its grooming platform beyond shaving.[11][14]
Regulation
In the United States, beard oils, washes, balms and similar products marketed as cosmetics fall under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022. In the European Union, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 is the main framework and requires a product safety report before a cosmetic is placed on the market.[43][44]
Latest news
The most recent identified transaction is Dollar Shave Club’s September 1, 2026 acquisition of Truly Beauty, described as the company’s first acquisition and a move to build a broader multi-brand personal-care platform. Regulatory activity also continued in the United States, where the FDA issued final MoCRA-related cosmetics guidance on October 29, 2026.[14][43]
