Key Highlights
- Male toiletries market includes retail sales of aftershaves & colognes, men's disposable razors & blades, post-shave cosmetics - men’s, and pre-shave cosmetics - men’s. The aftershaves & colognes segment consists of male fragrances specifically marketed as "eau de cologne" or "aftershave" and specifically not Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum. Technically, these products typically contain 2-5% aromatic compounds, which is less than either Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette, causing the lighter scent of Eau de Colognes & Aftershaves. Whereas men’s disposable razors & blades segment consists of Gillette Fusion, Wilkinson Sword Quattro, Gillette Blue Plus Twin Blade fixed head disposable razors. It includes battery-operated razors but excludes electric razors, which can be recharged via mains electricity. Pre-shave cosmetics - men’s segment includes shaving gels, foams, and oils. Post-shave cosmetics - men's segment covers post-shaving balms and lotions/gels, and other cosmetics designed to smooth and cool the skin, or lessen irritation, post-shaving.

- The US male toiletries market recorded revenues of $4.73 billion in 2024, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.1% between 2019 and 2024.
- Market consumption volumes declined with a negative CAGR of 2.6% between 2019 and 2024, reaching a total of 308.5 million units in 2024.
- The growth of the US male toiletries market during 2019-24 is attributed to the increase in average unit prices rather than a marked rise in consumption.

Also, premiumization within the grooming segment supported higher price points, particularly in razors and branded grooming essentials, where established players maintained strong pricing power.
