Global Wet Shave Market Report
Market Overview
Wet shaving refers to the traditional method of shaving that uses water, shaving cream or soap, and razors to soften and remove facial hair. It is considered to provide a closer shave compared to dry shaving, though it requires more time and preparation. With the rise of electric shavers that support both wet and dry shaving, the market has evolved to include manual razors, rotary electric shavers, and reciprocating electric shavers.
Europe and the U.S. remain the largest consumption markets, accounting for approximately 28% and 25% of global demand respectively. While global giants such as Gillette, Philips, and Braun dominate, production facilities are spread worldwide, particularly in Asia-Pacific, where cost advantages drive manufacturing.
