Medical aesthetics market set to grow by CAGR of 10.8%

The global aesthetics market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.8% from now until 2021, reaching $13.29bn (£10.7bn), according to new research by Markets and Markets.

Key factors behind the predicted growth include the popularity of aesthetic treatments, especially among men, and the growing adoption of minimally invasive and non-invasive aesthetic procedures, as well as the ageing population and technological advancements in energybased aesthetics devices, the report found. Asia-Pacific and Latin America are the areas representing most growth due to the growing medical tourism, rising middle class with disposable income, and growing awareness about aesthetic specialities. However, stringent safety regulations and the social stigma associated with these treatments are also some of the restraints reported to be hampering the growth of the market.

Researchers also discovered that the product segment of the medical aesthetics market is dominated by key players. Syneron Medical, Cynosure and Solta Medical were named the top three companies in the global energy-based devices market in 2015, while Allergan, Galderma and Merz Aesthetics were named the leading players in the global facial aesthetics market for the same year.
