There are other market data that Kommersant reviewed:
- The demand for franchises in the field of animal care by SMEs has increased, also by 15% (information from TopFranchise.ru).
- The most notable change in the number of beauty salons occurred in St. Petersburg (39%), Rostov-on-Don (21%) and Moscow (15%).
- The land for a business of this type occupies between 30 and 70 square meters. m, and its rent costs 100-150 thousand rubles per month (data from DNA Realty),
- The cost of comprehensive dog care starts at 2-3 thousand rubles, but the cost is increasing due to the increase in prices for premium foreign cosmetics by 30-40% (Doggo chain).
Among the striking examples of rapid business growth is the development of the Groom network, which this year alone has increased the number of locations by 25 (up to 152) and is planning openings, including abroad: in China, Saudi Arabia and Dubai (the network objective is 230 branches by 2026). The brand’s revenue between January and September increased 60% year-on-year.
The reason for the appearance of new salons is the increase in the percentage of families that have pets (in 2023, 74.8 million people had pets). And the owners are willing to pay for high-quality services. It is true that competition in the market leads to a gradual decrease in the average income of hairdressers.
