Hair Fixatives Market to Incur Rapid Extension During 2018 - 2026

Hair Fixatives Market: Outlook

Hair fixatives are natural or synthetic polymeric agents primarily used in hair care treatments to impart a temporary shape or sculpting effect to hair strands. Hair fixatives are basically anionic additives that are either chemically synthesized or derived from a natural source such as karaya gum, chitosan or cornstarch. They are used in a variety of finished products such as styling gels, sculpting lotions and setting lotions. Functionally, hair fixatives are film-forming additives that provide holding properties for styled or modeled hair. These hair fixatives are most suitable for alcohol-based or water-based formulations.

The personal care market is saturated with products composed of hair fixatives and various innovative solutions are still being developed by manufacturers to sustain the competition in the market. Advancements in the hair fixatives market are driven by the consumer response towards end-use products as targeting consumer issues and offering better solutions for these issues have played a vital role in the evolution of the hair fixatives market.

Consumer Inclination towards Natural Ingredients

Natural products are immensely popular among consumers these days and this inclination towards the use of natural ingredients in the personal care market is an attractive opportunity for the manufacturers of hair fixatives. Increasing consumer awareness regarding the ill-effects of chemicals and synthetically-derived ingredients on health and the acknowledgment of their long-term effects on the skin and health has resulted in a dramatic swing towards clean and naturally-derived hair fixatives in the market. For instance, in 2016, Itaconix plc launched a 100% natural hair fixative polymer RevCare NE 100S, which is derived from a fungal source, offering a natural and sustainable option to formulators with a cost-effective benefit.

The hair fixatives segment for men has also witnessed an increase in end-use product launches in the recent years. In a quality-driven approach, manufacturers of hair fixatives are striving hard to overcome the technical shortcomings of their hair fixatives such as the resultant flakiness on hair strands and associated hair fall. Expressive platforms for consumers such as blogs and social media have allowed the manufacturers of hair fixatives to directly acknowledge and resolve the issues related to their hair fixatives. Over the past few years, a wide range of hair fixatives specifically designed as per the needs of specific hair types have emerged in the market.
