Mexico Aesthetic Devices Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The Mexican aesthetic devices market is anticipated to record a CAGR of 8.33% during the forecast period.

The healthcare system witnessed enormous challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. All elective and aesthetic procedures were postponed or restricted during the COVID-19 pandemic to ​reduce the risk of viral transmission as most of these procedures were regarded as non-urgent. As per an article titled “Plastic surgery emergency surgical care during the COVID-19 lockdown at a Mexico City academic center” published in the journal of Correspondence and Communications in March 2021, during the period from March 23rd to June 28th, 2020, an academic center in Mexico City had only 393 cases, whereas, during the same period of the previous year, over 1114 patients were treated. The diversion of medical resources toward the management of COVID-19 patients significantly reduced the number of cosmetic procedures performed, which severely impacted the market growth during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The major factors attributing to the growth of the Mexican aesthetic devices market are the increasing obese population, increasing awareness regarding aesthetic procedures, rising adoption of minimally invasive devices, and technological advancement in devices. According to the World Obesity Atlas 2022 published by the Global Obesity Observatory, in 2020, over 36% of the Mexican population suffered from obesity and over 38.1% of the population were overweight. The report also indicated that by 2030, the percentage of adults with obesity will increase to 36.8%. The increasing number of people affected by obesity in the country is likely to add to the growth of the aesthetic devices market in Mexico over the forecast period.

The growing aesthetic consciousness among people, especially the elderly population, is creating the demand for various devices being utilized in aesthetic procedures. The increasing trend of fashion and growing consciousness of self-beauty and personal care and the increase in disposable income are some of the opportunities for market players. For instance, according to the International Association for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery’s International Survey published in 2021, in Mexico over 860,718 aesthetic procedures were performed in the year 2020. Mexico, being a member of the North America Free Trade Association (NAFTA), has a friendlier regulatory climate, without import duties (for American and Canadian companies). The other factor helping the growth of the aesthetic devices market is the increase in the number of cosmetic surgeries performed annually. Even though the rate of increase is not high in the country, the fact remains that people are getting more concerned with their appearance, especially with the increasing standard of living, which may boost market growth during the forecast period.

However, the high cost of aesthetic procedures and poor reimbursement scenarios in the country is expected to slow down the market growth over the forecast period.

Key Market TrendsBotulinum Toxin Segment is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share in the Mexican Aesthetic Devices Application Segment

Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. As a result, botulinum toxin in very diluted quantities is utilized for aesthetic and non-cosmetic applications, such as the treatment of frown lines between the brows, facial wrinkles such as horizontal creases on the forehead, lines at the corners of the mouth, and cobblestone skin on the chin. The aesthetic concerns of individuals regarding their appearance are gradually on the rise in the country. Thus, there is a growing demand for aesthetic products among the population that has created a subsequent demand for botulinum toxin procedures. The increasing demand for botulinum toxin is expected to boost the market segment growth.

Mexico has a vast number of aesthetic clinics offering unique botox solutions which are adding to the growth of the segment in the country. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 2021 report, over 194,226 botulinum toxin procedures were performed in Mexico in the year 2020, accounting for over 48% of the total aesthetic procedures performed in the country. The large number of botox procedures performed in the country is expected to add to the growth of the market segment over the forecast period.

Botox is also widely used for various medical conditions, including cervical dystonia, plantar fasciitis, hyperhidrosis, and chronic migraines, among others. For instance, an article titled “Clinical Efficacy of Botulinum Toxin in the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials” published in the journal Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in February 2022 by a group of Mexican researchers indicated that botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) has been used for the treatment of patients with plantar fasciitis. The study indicated that there was an improvement in the pain conditions of the plantar fasciitis affected patients, after being injected with the BTX-A. Such use of botox for medical conditions is expected to add to the growth of the botox segment in the country over the forecast period.
