Outbreak of the novel coronavirus from early 2020 and measures for preventing infection influenced hair-care products, face-to-face sales of hair business, and hair transplantation treatments at medical clinics. The COVID-19 crisis is leaving lasting scars in the market, and it is assumed that it will take some time for the number of customers visiting stores/salons/clinics to recover to the pre-pandemic level. As restrictions will be softened step by step toward 2021 to invigorate the movement of people and goods in and out of the country, consumption in general will improve, and hair care market is also expected to recover gradually.
