Increasing the unit price per customer is essential to overcome Japan's population decline over the mid to long term, but competition to raise retail prices is fierce in the country, where many brands are already established across the different price ranges: premium, prestige, and mass segments. Therefore, Japan’s beauty brands are struggling to attract male consumers, and although some products specifically targeting men have been performing well, they were not experiencing rapid growth at the end of the review period.
To expand the market for men's grooming in Japan, many consumers initially need basic education on how to use the products and perform self-care to foster greater engagement and uptake. To appeal to younger consumers who may become loyal customers in the future, activities to educate students on how to use these products properly are expected.
While demand for men's shaving marginally improved in 2022 due to greater mobility outside of the home and opportunities to socialise more frequently or return to the workplace compared to 2021, overall volume sales remained lower than pre-pandemic levels due to lifestyle changes. Therefore, one strategy to differentiate brands in the future is to promote the value of the product, not in terms of functionality such as hair removal and comfort of use as traditionally marketed, but in terms of making self-care the focus.
