KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The medical aesthetics market size was valued at USD 18.46 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow from USD 20.54 billion in 2022 to USD 45.91 billion by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 12.2% during 2022-2029. North America dominated the global market with a share of 46.39% in 2022.


Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a decline of -18.0% in 2020 as compared to 2019. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with medical aesthetics experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.


In recent years, there has been a gradual increase in the number of aesthetic procedures performed across the world. The increase is due to the majority of the population opting for minimally invasive, and non-invasive procedures such as botulinum toxin and dermal fillers due to various benefits offered by these procedures. The benefits offered include reduced side effects, less time taken for recovery, and pain-free procedures, among others.



  • As per the data published by the Aesthetic Society in 2021, it was reported that in the U.S., the total non-surgical procedures increased by 44.0% in 2021 as compared to the previous year.


Also, the growing popularity and adoption of cosmetic procedures among the male population are increasing each year. Moreover, the demand for non-energy-based procedures such as dermal fillers and botulinum toxin is also responsible for the overall growth in the number of procedures performed. These factors and the balance between genders in adopting cosmetic procedures are gradually improving, resulting in the overall demand for medical aesthetics.


As the demand for medical aesthetics continues to grow, many companies in the industry are investing in research and development to introduce new products with advanced technology. The latest developments are focused on offering pain-free treatment for minimally invasive and non-invasive procedures. Also, the companies are focused on receiving various product approvals from countries such as the U.S., Canada, and Europe, which is further driving the adoption of aesthetic devices in the market. Moreover, increasing disposable incomes in emerging countries, such as India, China, and Brazil, among others, and the availability of home-based products are further fueling the medical aesthetics market expansion.



  • In August 2019, Pollogen received the U.S. FDA approval for its TriPollar Stop, a radiofrequency technology device used to treat the face and neck to remove wrinkles and improve skin texture. This device was clinically tested for home use in the U.S.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Significant Decline in Number of Procedures During COVID-19 Pandemic to Hinder Market Proliferation


Various cosmetic procedures declined during the pandemic due to decreased demand for these procedures worldwide. The government has laid guidelines to postpone elective procedures to manage COVID-19. The halt on elective surgical procedures in many countries during COVID-19 was responsible for the decrease in the number of cosmetic surgical procedures performed.



  • As per the data published by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in 2020, it was reported that total procedures declined from 4.6 million in 2019 to 3.9 million in 2020, accounting for 14.0% decline.


Also, the imposed lockdowns and disruptions in supply chains affected the sales of aesthetic devices, and several manufacturers reported a drop in product sales. For example, Cutera reported 18.7% decline in revenue growth in 2020, while its total systems segment reported a drop of 35.4% during 2020.


Ease of lockdown restrictions, introduction of innovative products by key players in the market, and the growing demand for non-invasive cosmetic procedures led to increased demand for medical aesthetics in 2021.



  • As per the data published by the Aesthetic Society in 2021, the total number of non-invasive procedures performed increased from 3.1 million in 2020 to 4.5 million in 2021 in the U.S., accounting for 44.0% growth.


LATEST TRENDS

High Demand for Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Filler-based Treatment


There has been a preferential shift of patients toward non-invasive procedures, such as botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, and chemical peels, among others over surgical procedures. The increasing adoption of non-surgical treatment options is due to the various benefits such as lower side effects, less recovery time, and faster results.


In recent years, the demand for facial aesthetics has increased among the general population to improve their appearance. This has led to the rising demand for dermal filler procedures used for correction of wrinkles, acne scars, and others. Also, key industry players are investing in R&D for the development of new fillers to meet the increasing demand for dermal fillers in the medical aesthetics market.



  • In February 2021, Merz Pharma announced the launch of BELOTERO BALANCE + Lidocaine in the U.S. BELOTERO BALANCE is a dermal filler for etched-in lines, and the advantages of lidocaine formulation provide a perfect finish to filler patients.


However, the growing popularity among the male population in adopting procedures, such as botulinum toxin in recent times, particularly those over the age of 50 years opting for such procedures to improve their appearance and have a younger look, is further increasing the demand for these procedures in the market.



  • As per the data published by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in 2020, around 905,958 botulinum toxin procedures are performed on men across the world every year.


Thus, the growing popularity of these procedures and the availability of advanced products are increasing the demand for dermal fillers and botulinum toxin-based treatment.


MEDICAL AESTHETICS MARKET GROWTH FACTORS


Growing Demand for Home-based Aesthetic Procedures to Boost the Market


In various countries, there is an increase in the prevalence of dermatological conditions among the general population such as acne, psoriasis, skin cancer, and others. The market is witnessing an increase in demand for cutting-edge solutions due to the presence of a large patient base with severe skin problems that need treatment.



  • As per the data published by the British Skin Foundation in 2020, nearly 60.0% of people are suffering from some kind of skin condition in the U.K.


However, the availability of home-based products is raising the demand for home-based procedures for treating dermatology conditions. The manufacturers are focusing on developing and introducing new technologies such as LED and radiofrequency-based devices which can be used at home, resulting in the growing adoption of home-based devices.



  • In July 2022, LightStim launched Elipsa, the first device to offer dual treatment options for treating acne and wrinkles using LED-based technology. This device is used at home by users.


The factors mentioned above and the adoption rate of patients for innovative products to receive treatment and use at home are further fueling the market growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Cost of Devices to Limit the Medical Aesthetics Market Growth


Various players in the market are focused on introducing new devices to meet the increasing demand for aesthetics worldwide, resulting in the increasing costs of the devices in the market.



  • For example, as per the data published by Medicreations in 2021, the average cost of new aesthetic devices can be around USD 120,000 to USD 300,000.


Also, the high costs of procedures such as breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, and the lack of reimbursement policies to cover these procedures are restricting users from undergoing cosmetic procedures as most people cannot afford such huge costs.


Additionally, non-surgical cosmetic treatments typically only last one or two years. For example, botulinum toxin treatment needs to be redone every 4-6 months. This is resulting in non-surgical cosmetic procedures being less cost-effective. Also, the cost of the hyaluronic acid filler (e.g., Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Perlane, Restylane, and Belotero) is around USD 652 and fat grafting is around USD 2,163.


Thus, the lack of reimbursement policies, high costs associated, and various risks of the treatment are further restricting the market growth.

The hair and tattoo removal segment is slated to expand during the forecast period due to increased awareness of hair removal procedures and high demand for advanced technologies, thereby boosting the segment growth. For example, in June 2020, Cynosure announced the launch of the Elite iQ platform in the European market. Elite iQ platform offers personalized laser hair removal treatments and permanently reduces unwanted hair for all skin types, anywhere on the body.
