Market Overview:
Disposable shower caps are caps made of plastic or non-woven materials that are placed on hair to keep it dry while showering. They are inexpensive, convenient, and disposable after single-use. Their advantages include protecting hair from water, chemicals, and humidity, thereby preventing hair damage and frizz during showering. They are widely used in hotels, salons & spas, and by individuals at home.

Market key trends:
One of the important trends driving growth of the disposable shower caps market is the rising number of salons and spas, especially in emerging countries. According to the International Spa Association, the spa industry witnessed 4.2% year over year growth between 2019 and 2020, mostly driven by emerging countries such as India, China, Brazil and others. Rising disposable incomes and growing awareness about personal grooming have boosted visits to salons and spas globally in the past few years. This has significantly increased the usage of single-use shower caps during hair services like washing, dyeing, and conditioning treatments in these establishments. Thus, increasing presence of salons and spas is contributing to the rising demand for disposable shower caps.
