SEGMENTATION ANALYSIS

INSIGHTS BY APPLICATION

The non-surgical skin tightening is the dominating segment in the application and holds the highest share in the global body contouring devices market; and is estimated to grow at the fastest rate with a CAGR of 14.81% during the forecast period. The rising demand for skin tightening devices is attributed to the increasing aging population, which leads to increasing sagging skin issues and growing concern about skin problems. American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) reported that in 2018 about 70% of consumers considered a cosmetic procedure, with 57% specifically considering non-surgical skin tightening treatments. The segment is also experiencing continuous technological advancements.

North America accounts for the highest market share of the global skin resurfacing market owing to the increased adoption of technologically advanced devices, the presence of skilled labor, and higher disposable incomes. APAC is projected to grow faster during the forecast period owing to its increasing economy, medical tourism market, and higher disposable incomes.

The growing obese population has created huge opportunities and demand for liposuction/lipolysis and cellulite treatment devices. Non-surgical fat reduction was in most demand in 2018 after injectables, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). However, numerous companies are focused on developing and offering minimally invasive lipolysis devices due to the high complications linked with surgical liposuction procedures and their high cost. For instance, Bausch Health Companies’ Solta Medical and Alma Lasers are now offering next-generation liposuction systems that are minimally invasive (ultrasound and laser).
