Scalp Scrub Market Segment Insights:
Chemical scalp scrubs hold a significant market share
On the basis of types, the global scalp scrub market can be segregated into physical and chemical. Physical scalp scrubs use exfoliants such as walnut, sea salts, and apricot seeds in grain form, which are massaged on scalp area to remove buildup, dirt and excess sebum produced by hair glands in the scalp.
Chemical scrubs use active ingredients such as betaine salicylate and glycolic acid to break up dead skin cells and counter excess sebum production. Harmless chemicals are introduced in new products, which is rising the demand for chemical scrubs.
Scalp scrub demand more from female users
On the basis of end users, the market can be segmented into men and women. Women are prime users of multiple hair care products, which tend to develop more product buildup on scalp than men, as they utilize less hair care products than them. Hence, the demand for scalp scrub is estimated to grow at a robust rate for women during the forecast period.
Online Distribution Channel share is rapidly growing
Based on distribution channels, the global scalp scrub market is bifurcated into offline channels and online channels. The offline channels segment is anticipated to dominate owing to the more preference for physical retail chains than online shopping. However, the offline segment is expected to grow at a robust rate owing to the already presence of e-commerce in cosmopolitan cities. Meanwhile, the growing penetration of e-commerce in tier two and tier three cities is driving the growth of the market segment.

Asia Pacific constitutes a dominant share of the global market
Based on regions, the market can be classified as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold a major share of the market owing to the massive end-user size and increasing disposable income in countries such as India and China. Moreover, the growing e-commerce industry in the region is expected to propel the growth of the Asia Pacific market.
