Global medical spa market expected to reach almost £21m by 2025
According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Medical Spa Market by Service: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2017-2025," the global medical spa market is projected to reach $27,566m (£20,916m) by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 12.2% from 2018 to 2025. The facial treatment segment accounted for one-third share of the global market revenue of the sector, which was valued at $11,063m (£8,399m) in 2017.
Medical spas or medispas uniquely blend medicine and aesthetics to provide quality cosmetic treatments in a relaxed ambience. Anti-wrinkle injections, Botox injections, fine-line reduction, acne therapy, and fillers are some of the various treatments included in medical spas.
Increasing use of aesthetic medicine and cosmetic treatment options for beauty enhancement and growing wellness trends among the developed countries drive the market. However, the medical spa procedures are very expensive, which restricts the market growth, especially in the developing economies. Moreover, the expansion of medical tourism in developing countries, such as India, China, and Brazil, creates lucrative opportunities for key market players.
Among the service category, the body shaping segment accounted for one-fifth revenue share of the global market in 2017. This has been owing to the recent advances in body shaping, which include various non-invasive techniques that enable lesser hospitalization and faster recovery. Thus, such advances in the body shaping segment are anticipated to augment the market growth.
Additionally, the hair removal segment accounted for one-sixth share in 2017 of the global market revenue. This growth is attributed to the innovations in the laser technology, owing to which permanent hair removal is now feasible. This also supplements the market growth.
KEY FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
The tattoo removal segment accounted for about one-seventh revenue share of the total market in 2017, and is expected to register a CAGR of 11.8% from 2018 to 2025.
India is the fastest-growing country in the Asia-Pacific medical spa market, registering a CAGR of 14.2% during the forecast period.

However, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the presence of high-populace countries, such as India and China. In addition, the medical tourism enhancement also fuels the market growth.
