The global electric hairbrush market size was worth USD 478.7 million in the year 2018. The ongoing fashion campaigns on online platforms have surged the importance of having straight and shiny hair among females thus, fueling the demand for the electronic hairbrush. Furthermore, electronic hair brushes are predicted to become popular in hair care spaces and salons. For example, these hairbrushes provide quick results without any pain and work smoothly.
The number of fashion style campaigns run on YouTube, Pinterest, and Facebook have contributed to creating awareness for various areas of grooming. This trend has been accepted by all irrespective of any age group. Customers are inclined towards these products such as electric hairbrushes since they are convenient with adjustable temperature and provide a better hairstyle.
As stated by WHO, the portion of the world population above 60 years of age is predicted to reach 22% from 12% during 2015 to 2050. Climatic change and diet mechanisms have resulted in aging issues like thinning, dryness, and hair loss volume. Therefore, consumers are predicted to spend extra on advanced hair care products like an electric hairbrush to have good hair.
Companies have been emphasizing increasing investment in creating technologically advanced products like electric hairbrush which provides efficient results. For example, L’Oréal, in January 2017, introduced a smart hairbrush under Kerastase Hair Coach. The company’s research team, L’Oréal’s Research and Innovation Technology Incubator merged to create these smart hairbrushes. The hairbrush showcases the advanced sensors, L’Oréal patent-pending signal-analysis algorithms, and Nokias Withings digital-health unit designs. According to research by L’Oréal, it is proved that forced hair brushing can cause split ends and other damages to the hair. The company boasts that Kerastase has the ability to lower these risks through multiple sensors that give information on the brushing pattern and the quality of hair.
The professional segment held 70.8% of the revenue share in 2018.

Moreover, the range of brands available under a single roof attracts the customers to shop from these supermarkets.
