Between 2024 and 2028, the number of full-time employees in the hairdressing and beauty salon sector in Japan is projected to decline from 155.79 thousand to 146.58 thousand, indicating a gradual decrease each year. Compared to 2023 figures, this trend reflects ongoing challenges within the industry. The year-on-year variation shows a consistent decline, signaling possible shifts in market dynamics, workforce availability, or consumer behavior. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) suggests an average annual decrease over this five-year period.
Future trends to observe include labor force dynamics, technological advancements affecting salon operations, and changes in consumer preferences towards beauty services. Emphasis on sustainability and digital integration in services may also become increasingly relevant.
