GLOBAL CRISES IMPACTING PRESS ON NAILS MARKET- COVID-19 IMPACT

"Press on Nails Industry Had a Positive Effect Due to demand for easy but salon-grade quality product"" during COVID-19 Pandemic"

The Global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The sudden boom in the market for press-on nails was due to the pandemic. As salons have been closed and social distancing is being practiced, it is but normal that consumers resort to at-home beauty solutions. With limited access to manicure sessions, people began to seek easy-to-apply but salon-grade quality press-on nails, thus the increased demand from brands for innovating better adhesives, later for long-lasting materials, and customizable designs. E-commerce could gain speed with increased sales since lines became the new main mode in the purchase process and subsequently extended its market reach. Influencers and social media trends have really contributed to the promotion of the DIY nail kits and established press-on nails as an out-and-out mainstream beauty staple. This change in consumer behaviour has created time-worn loyalty among consumers for instantaneous, low-cost nail solutions that will help keep the market buoyant even beyond the pandemic.

LATEST TREND

"Market growth is driven by quality innovations"

Innovating the new trend of the Press On Nails Market is the gel press-on nails, which are currently becoming one of the trends because of their very high quality and glistening brightness just like in salons and their functional durability. The indirect benefit for a user is, of course, that they feel much more natural and flexible so that they are comfortable to wear, and they now contain superior adhesive technology that keeps them in place for extended wear. This trend is accepted and propagated among consumers who want home manicures with high-end, salon-finish results without the expensive price tag and time attendance of a visit to a salon. Social media buzz around DIY beauty trends is yet another factor driving this upward trend for enticingly high-quality nails. Product formulation innovations have also been seen in the market, making gel nails a lot easier to handle and more available to the general audience.

PRESS ON NAILS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into Round, Oval & Square

• Round Press-On Nails: Round press-on nails remain a wonderful classic and suitable for more than one occasion. Great for someone who goes low-key and casual and never seems to draw attention to herself, round nails are simple and practical for everyday wear since they are blessed with this wonderfully rounded edge that prevents chipping. This design is also widely popular among short-nail enthusiasts because it accentuates durability and bestows a soft feminine touch—the round press-ons are ever-so-loved in both workplace and more relaxed environments thanks to their understatedly classy appeal.
• Oval Press-On Nails: Oval press-on nails manage to balance elegance with durability. Functional for someone considering symmetry yet elongating the fingers and giving a slightly slender and refined appearance, this shape is gaining much trend for special occasions with nail art and embellishments yet holding a sophisticated vibe. Oval press-ons are a great consideration for a more polished yet practical take on the nails.
• Square Press-On Nails: Square press-on nails ooze toughness and edginess, with their straight-across edge and glossy finish truly portraying a modern and structured design. They have gained quite a bit of fame among those who love bold, eye-catching nails and complement everything from minimalist chic to outright glamorous. With square nails, there is real scope for nail art creativity, and these nails turn out to be the most coveted among designers with the most skills and intricate ideas. That said, this is a much edgier shape design with sharp corners, increasing the risk of breaking with improper applications and care, especially at the corner.

By Application

Based on application, the global market can be categorized into Online Sales & Offline Sales

• Online Sales: The segment of the online sales of the Press On Nails Market has grown tremendously over the years owing to growing popularity with the consumers of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer brands. A growing number of consumers prefer online shopping to browse a multitude of designs, read reviews, and access exclusive deals, all of which are made easier through social media marketing and influencer collaborations. Today, there's hardly a platform in which online sales do not contribute as an essential distribution channel. With increasing digital payment options and lightning-fast services, online sales are expected to further flourish in the coming years.
• Offline Sales: Offline sales of press-on nails are still very much alive—beauty supply stores, drugstores, and supermarkets are all avenues where consumers would rather see the products for themselves before purchasing them. Satellite stores of big companies and specialty beauty stores continue to offer press-on nails presented in seasonal collections and exclusive in-store offerings. These consumers prefer to shop in-store because they can use their purchases immediately and check the quality of the product for themselves. Though online sales may be rising, offline sales maintain contact with those customers who prefer to stick to the traditional shopping experience.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.

Driving Factor

"The market growth thrives with DIY beauty trends"

DIY and at-home salon-like beauty treatments are becoming a fashion these days and are thriving buoyantly in the market for press-on nails. In fact, press-on nails top the list among many users, especially new users, seeking cheaper alternatives to salon manicures that are often more costly and take far longer to apply than press-on nails. Just seeing the quality designs, which are high in quality and mimic professional nail art without going through all the hassle, adds another layer to the fact that it can be easily applied without wasting time when you are in a hurry. It turned very popular during the pandemic, for people began seeking beauty with no access to the salon.

"Social media drives market growth through influencer promotions"

Such social media, like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, have made a big difference in creating awareness and demand for press-on nails today. Beauticians and influencers often flaunt their newly found designs, their application techniques, and the brands associated with them, creating viral trends that boost up sales among their followers. A lot of press-on nail brands use collaborative programs, partnerships with influencer co-designers, and user-generated content to reach more audiences, and social media is one of the greatest tools to use for marketing. It has definitely not only given brands visibility but also affected consumer opinion, hence increasing market growth.

Restraining Factor

"Durability challenges hinder market growth, urging brands to improve "

Durability and quality problems are among the major inhibiting factors for the Press On Nails Market growth. To some clients, press-on nails do not seem durable compared with salon-applied acrylic or gel nails when exposed to water, normal wear and tear, or if applied improperly. Improvements in adhesive technology are elongating wear times but cannot seem to compensate for the real-life wear experiences, such as buckling or poor reusability after some wear; a negative review may have been from some past experience with a low-quality product, which would lead to that consumer thinking of never making a purchase again. Clearly, this is a primary area for brands to sustain, backing the product life and further nurturing consumer reliance.

Opportunity

"Sustainability drives market growth as eco-conscious consumers seek green-friendly products"

The growth of the Press On Nails Market is guaranteed through consumer interest in sustainable and eco-friendly beauty ingredients. Eco-conscious customers would readily buy off brands that have biodegradable nails, non-toxic glue, and recyclable packaging. As sustainability developments shape into a pressing effort, that will be the niche of companies that trace their ethical manufacturing and green materials. Moreover, certification by eco-labelling and regulatory backing could help build consumer trust and reputation. This sustainability trend, therefore, coincides with global trends in the cosmetic industry for acquisition.

Challenge

"Market growth faces competition, urging innovation in durable products"

The nail market is confronted with competing for nail salon services and other artificial nails such as acrylics and gels, which represent other nail products considered threats. A good number of consumers do prefer manicure services at the salon due to durability, personal customization, and longer lifetime effects. Another cohort of clients considers press-on nails as temporary or low-grade products, and this has posed a real challenge for brands to change opinions. Press-on nail brands must renew innovation in developing high-quality, long-wear designs with advanced adhesives to further tap into long-term users to remain competitive in the evolving marketplace.
