DRIVING FACTORS

Growing demand for non-invasive procedures drives global adoption

Aesthetic procedures that were minimally invasive are becoming popular because of the short amount of time required after the procedure, low costs, and low risks. Non-surgical fat reduction, laser resurfacing, and injectable neurotoxins are some of the technologies that provide the desirable results with a shorter recovery period. This trend by consumers is gaining momentum in introducing new consumers as also increasing the target population. The user-friendly nature of lunchtime procedures and the safety of the equipment as well as the wide accessibility of the trained personnel have increased the access to aesthetic enhancements, which further boosts the aesthetics market growth at an alarming rate.

Influence of social media and self-image drives procedural volume

Video-conferencing tools and the advent of social media sites place new emphasis on looks, and people take more interest in the kinds of enhancements they can find to their face and body. The culture of selfies, zoom dysmorphia, and other similarities compel people to pursue procedures to their skin appearance, which is enhanced when facing the camera. Other key players encouraging normalization and publicizing the aesthetic procedures are the influencers and celebrities. Mass dissemination of before-and-after pictures creates trust and pushes demand, particularly in the millennial and Gen Z consumers.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

High cost of procedures and limited insurance coverage restrict access

Even though the popularity of some aesthetic procedures has increased, most of them are still unaffordable and uninsured against, which restricts them to high-income levels. Altogether, in young economies, affordability is one of the major obstacles to widespread adoption. Technologies are also not highly developed in clinics in the poor or inaccessible areas. The market is still urban-centered since more income can be found in the urban areas. Also the subsequent therapies and after repair processes cost more making it cumulative and unwillingness of the price sensitive customer to commit to it long-term.

OPPORTUNITY

Expansion of aesthetic services into emerging economies opens new markets

In the Asian-Pacific region, Latin America and Brazil, and the Middle East, countries are witnessing increased demand of aesthetic treatments due to an increase in urbanization, better healthcare infrastructure, and increment of disposable income.

Globalized brands have been accessing these markets in collaborative business models as well as franchises. Influencer marketing and education campaigns support the normalization of cosmetic improvements further, opening up all kinds of opportunities to international players, who can achieve remarkable growth.

The non-medical staff in certain areas are taking up complex procedures which heighten the chances of complications. The lack of regulation of some products as well as implication of the counterfeit devices is also dangerous among the consumers.
