• Global hair extension market size

• US hair extension market size
• Top 5 hair extension brands by revenue
• EBITDA of the top 5 identified hair extension brands

Data Availability

• The initial research indicates that the US hair extensions market size is not available in the public domain. Most of the reports we found were behind the paywalls such as reports by Absolute Reports, Transparency Market Research, Decision Databases, and many more research publishing sites like these. We did find some helpful findings related to the market growth, market size of a sub-segment, that is, only "human hair extensions", and global market growth. We have included these findings in the research below. We've included more details in the summary section below to elaborate on how we can attempt to triangulate and determine the hair extension market size of the US and the world.
• For the information on the top 5 hair extension brands by revenue, various research reports, news articles, and business databases were scoured to find these top 5 brands based on the revenue. However, the initial research indicates that the data based on the revenue information is limited. And hence, we have pivoted the research to look for the top 5 brands based on a high number of brand mentions as "one of the top/key/major players in the hair extension market" by multiple research reports and/or sources. This is reflected in our findings and in the scoping options below.
• For the information on EBITDA of the top 5 hair extension brands, we researched individual hair extension brands to find their financial/annual reports. However, it was found that most of the brands are privately held (examples include, Hair Dreams, Great Lengths Universal Hair Extensions , Cinderella Hair, and Hairlocs) and hence, they are not mandatorily required to publish their annual reports/financial figures to the public. Thus, we have pivoted the research to look for other helpful information relevant to the project goals. This is reflected in our findings and in the scoping options below.

1. Global Market Overview: Hair Extensions and Human Hair Extensions

• "The worldwide market for human hair extension is expected to grow at a CAGR of roughly 8.8% over the next five years, will reach 2240 million USD in 2024, from 1350 million USD in 2019, according to a new study."

• Another research report states that the global hair extensions market is likely to see a growth rate of around 4.5% during the years between 2019-2024. The forecasted global hair extension market size would be about USD 1.2 billion in 2024.

2. Top Hair Extension Brands

• Since the information on the top 5 hair extension brands based on revenue was limited, we have found a list of brands that were mentioned as "one of the top/key/major players in the hair extension market" by multiple research reports that included but not limited to Market Research Future, MarketWatch, Transparency Market Research, Allied Market Research, Decision Databases, The Express Wire, and other sources including news articles and business databases. Based on this criterion, the top hair extension brands in the global market are:

Other Helpful Findings

• The estimated revenue of Great Lengths is $5 million.
• Balmain Hair's estimated revenue is $21 million.
• The estimated revenue of Hair Dreams is $9 million.

Summary of the Initial Research

• The first hour of the research was spent in determining the availability for all the 4 requested information: (1) Global hair extension market size, (2) US hair extension market size, (3) Top 5 hair extension brands by revenue, (4) EBITDA of the top 5 hair extension brands. Based on the limited data availability (as discussed in the 'data availability' section above), we have the following recommendations:

• For this research, we assumed that the total hair extension market includes all the segments: synthetic hair extension, human hair extension, and animal hair extension. And thus, the market size information on the global and US "human hair" extensions market provided in the research above was only a part of the total hair extension market.
