Such ingredients are proven to be beneficial for hair care for a long duration. Vendors offering organic hair products strictly adhere to high purity standards of the ingredients used in the products and these standards are set by various governing bodies of different countries.
Key Challenges
The availability of counterfeit products is a major challenge to the market growth. Low price points of counterfeit products branded products are driving its sales. Growing adoption of counterfeit products affects the volume sales and pricing strategies of genuine vendors.

Due to this, their profit margins and the value sales proportion decline drastically. Therefore, the presence of counterfeit products across the global market is expected to limit the market growth, during the forecast period.
