Market Dynamics 

Driver 

Rising demand for green products

The consumer is shifting their preference toward green skincare and regenerative products due to negligible side effects, cost-effectiveness, and providing additional benefits as well. Green or natural products are developed along with ecological standards, and they promote health benefits as well. They allow skin rejuvenation and cell regrowth naturally and reduce acne, scars, and other skin-related issues without any chemical interference or surgery requirements. Hence, consumers are adopting green regenerative skincare products. Such factors will promote their growth in the beauty and care market in forthcoming years across the globe. 

Moreover, many well-established companies are collaborating with local or SMEs to boost their portfolio of beauty and skincare products, offering natural ingredients to cater to consumers' diverse needs. Green cosmetics are natural cosmetics primarily made up of plant and fruit extracts and concentrates, reducing environmental impact. 

Increasing demand for non-invasive and home-based procedures

With the growing desire to enhance appearance and promote skin health, there is a heightened demand for minimally invasive aesthetic procedures. This is mainly due to the increasing awareness about the availability of non-invasive treatments and their benefits. Consumers often prefer treatments that require less downtime and offer quick results. Moreover, the demand for home-based aesthetic procedures is rising among consumers. This, in turn, boosts the adoption of home-use aesthetic devices, such as lasers, for hair removal and skin rejuvenation. In addition, the rising geriatric population worldwide and the increasing prevalence of skin problems, including acne, pigmentation, and scarring, further drive the market during the forecast period.

Restrain 

High cost of devices and procedures 

Various players in the market are focusing on introducing innovative devices to address the increasing demand for aesthetic procedures globally. However, the high costs of these devices can hamper the market's growth. Non-surgical cosmetic procedures are more costly due to the use of advanced aesthetic devices. In addition, the high cost of procedures such as abdominoplasty and breast augmentation and the lack of reimbursement policies covering these procedures hinder the growth of the medical aesthetics market. 

Opportunity 

Patient education and empowerment 

In this digital era, patients are gradually taking their aesthetic choices into their own hands. They actively browse for information online to understand the intricacies of technologies and procedures. Online resource centers serve as indispensable information hubs and guide individuals through every aspect of their aesthetic journey. These platforms provide detailed insights into recovery strategies, post-treatment care, and treatment options and foster a sense of ownership across their aesthetic preferences. Moreover, technological advancements have revolutionized the medical aesthetics market, taking it to new heights. As a result, it has witnessed the development of new technologies and devices, ranging from ultrasound technologies to advanced laser systems.  

  • In June 2024, Allergan Aesthetics launched the A-Z of Medical Aesthetics as the first step of its campaign to improve understanding of aesthetics and empower patients over 18 years of age to make informed choices.

Type Insights

The non-energy-based devices segment dominated the market with the largest share in 2023. This is mainly due to the high demand for procedures such as chemical peels, dermal fillers, and others, owing to several advantages provided by these procedures. The increased demand for non-surgical treatments to stimulate collagen, tighten skin, and reduce wrinkles further contributed to segmental growth. In addition, manufacturers are making efforts to get product approvals and introduce new products to address the growing demand for non-surgical and non-energy-based aesthetic devices, thus boosting the segment. 

  • For instance, in September 2022, Sientra, Inc. announced that it had received approval from the Saudi Food & Drug Authority to market its line of smooth-surface, high-strength cohesive (HSC and HSC+) silicone gel breast implants in Saudi Arabia.

On the other hand, the energy-based devices segment is anticipated to expand at the fastest growth rate during the forecast period, owing to the rising introduction of novel devices with advanced technologies, such as radiofrequency, ultrasound, and lasers. Energy-based devices are widely used in cosmetic treatments to remove hair and reduce wrinkles. In addition, the increasing number of laser-based aesthetic treatments propels the segment.

Application Insights

The skin resurfacing & tightening segment accounted for the largest market share in 2023. This is due to the wide availability of minimally invasive treatments for skin resurfacing, tissue tightening, and rhytids reduction. The rising patient pool undergoing several treatments for skin applications, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and others, is raising the need to treat such conditions. The increasing approvals from various government agencies to launch advanced devices and the high demand for aesthetic devices for skin resurfacing procedures contribute to the growth of the segment. 

The hair and tattoo removal segment is expected to grow at a high CAGR in the coming years due to the high demand for advanced technologies and increased awareness of hair removal procedures. Furthermore, the desire for smooth skin encourages individuals to undergo hair removal procedures, thereby driving the segment's growth.  

End-User Insights

The specialty clinics segment captured the major share of the market in 2023. The segment growth is fueled by patients' increasing preference for specialty clinics and demand for minimally invasive procedures. In addition, the growing number of specialty clinics in numerous nations performing aesthetic processes is further enhancing the segment growth. For instance, according to the data published by PolicyBee Ltd, around 950 medical aesthetics clinics were operated in the U.K. in 2022. 

On the other hand, the hospital segment is expected to grow at a significant rate in 2023. The segment growth is mainly attributed to the growing number of procedures, especially cosmetic and breast implant procedures, which are majorly performed in hospitals. Moreover, the easy availability and accessibility to advanced aesthetic devices encourage individuals to perform aesthetic surgeries in hospital settings under physician consultation, thus propelling the segment.
