Nail Care Products Industry

The global nail care products market size was valued at USD 19.10 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% from 2022 to 2030. Nail care has emerged as an essential element of personal grooming routines, with nail polish and intricate nail art gaining particular traction within the corporate and fashion sectors. This growing popularity is projected to continue playing a significant role in increasing the demand for such products throughout the forecast period. In addition, major players in the industry have been enhancing their product lines by introducing innovative and diverse offerings to capitalize on the expanding trend and sustain market momentum.

Over the years, the market has experienced important advancements in terms of product distribution methods. Numerous brands have taken advantage of expanding distribution channels for nail polishes, especially through the integration of modern technology. For example, in February 2021, L’Oréal Groupe introduced a virtual try-on feature for its Essie nail care brand. This innovation enables users to try out Essie’s nail polishes virtually by either uploading a photograph or using a back-facing smartphone camera that tracks nail shapes and finger movement. Customers can then add their preferred products to a shopping cart on Essie.com and are directed to select retail partners such as Target, Ulta, and CVS to complete their purchases. Such technological advancements are anticipated to positively influence the growth of the industry going forward.

Moreover, increasing consumer awareness regarding the benefits of organic products in comparison to synthetic alternatives has contributed to a rise in demand over recent years. Natural and organic products have found widespread acceptance among users of beauty, wellness, and cosmetic items. Organic nail care products like nail polish are created using natural ingredients sourced from plants, processed in environmentally friendly ways. These formulations exclude harmful synthetic chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, and aluminum salts. For instance, in October 2021, Marina Miracle—a beauty and personal care brand—partnered with Tone Lise, widely known as Norway's 'nail queen', to launch the Essential Nail Elixir. This product is formulated with organic components, including oils derived from grape seeds, sea buckthorn, and apricots, along with active extracts from green tea, rosemary, and Arctic cranberries.
