Men's Grooming in Thailand

PROSPECTS

Men’s bath and shower leads growth in men’s grooming

The strong growth being seen in sales of men’s grooming is largely due to rising demand for men’s toiletries. In particular, demand for male-specific bath and shower products is taking off.

Interest in men’s skin care continues to rise

Although skin care products have traditionally been seen as the sole preserve of women, attitudes towards skin care are changing among the population of Thailand. Increasingly, men are becoming interested in maintaining their youthful appearance through the use of skin care products and this has led to the emergence of male-specific products in the category.

Natural ingredients the latest trend in new product development

In line with the general trends seen across beauty and personal care in 2018, natural ingredients came to the fore in a big way in men’s grooming over the course of the year. The most noticeable of these new launches was seen in men’s deodorants, where Beiersdorf launched Nivea Men Deep Green, Nivea Men Deep White and Nivea Men Deep Brown, two new fragrances which have the aromas of coffee, Amazonia and charcoal respectively.

L’Oréal Group launches a new men’s skin care range
