Increasing acceptance of hair removal products among men is also one of the significant factors driving the market. As per the recent trends, a large number of men are indulging in various grooming activities, including hair removal. Furthermore, emerging trend of metrosexual culture has been driving the companies to introduce hair removal products suitable for men. For instance, Emjoi offers Emagine Epilator especially for men.

Electronic devices are expected to register the fastest CAGR of 6.0% over the forecast period. Increasing consumer demand for hassle free grooming products, coupled with technological advancement in every field, is expected to spur up the sales of electronic devices for hair removal such as epilators.
