Skincare Devices Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product, By Application (Diagnostic Devices, Treatment Devices,), By End-use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Report Overview

The global skincare devices market size was estimated at USD 14.0 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.3% from 2023 to 2030. The increasing prevalence of skin cancer and other skin diseases is contributing largely to the high demand for skincare devices. Furthermore, factors such as the increasing awareness and interest of people about the aesthetic appeal coupled with technological advancements in skincare devices and a rise in disposable income are also increasing the adoption of these devices significantly

The prevalence of skin cancer such as melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers is growing significantly. According to the American Cancer Society, melanoma skin cancer accounts for only 1% of total skin cancer cases, however, it is responsible for the highest number of cancer deaths. It further suggests that approximately 97,610 more people are expected to be diagnosed with melanomas in 2023. Meanwhile, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) estimated that 1 in 3 Americans visit dermatologists, and 1 in every 4 are diagnosed with skin disease every year. This increases the need for rapid and efficient diagnostics devices to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment.

Another important driver for the skincare device market is the growing awareness regarding aesthetic appeals. In the present scenario, people from all age groups are interested in enhancing their aesthetic appeal, which can be facilitated through complete skin rejuvenation. This has led to the increasing use of technologically advanced products over conventional products that can assist in better diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases as well as improve one’s aesthetic appeal. Technological advancements in the field of skin care have also led to an increase in the market for skincare devices. People have gained confidence and started trusting such treatments. Improved laser therapy is one such advancement.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the market for skincare devices due to the lockdown and supply chain disruptions. Short-term negative growth was observed in the market due to the suspension of almost all non-COVID-19 related surgeries, limited operations of manufacturing, and disruption in the supply chain. With the successful rollout of vaccines in all regions, the volume of dermatological devices began to recover to its pre-pandemic levels. In 2021, the market witnessed high demand due to the backlog of surgeries from 2020 and increased interest from people related to dermatological procedures.

Product Insights

Based on product, the market is segmented into diagnostic devices and treatment devices. The treatment devices segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 79.6% in 2022 and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 12.5% over the forecast period. This is mainly due to the availability of wide applications of dermatology treatment. In addition, the launch of novel technologies in the laser device category is also attributed to the significant growth of the segment.

Among the treatment devices, the laser devices segment held the largest revenue share of 24.2% in 2022 and is expected to grow with the fastest CAGR of 14.0% over the forecast period. The use of lasers to treat cosmetic skin conditions such as acne, scars, and wrinkles is the major reason for the growth of this segment.

Hair removal devices, particularly, laser devices have been proven to be safer for all skin tones and hair colors and facilitate less painful treatment procedures, thereby fostering market growth.

A rise in demand for cosmetic laser treatments like tattoo removal, skin resurfacing, and skin tightening has significantly increased the adoption of dermatology devices. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, treatments like non-invasive fat reduction witnessed a 21.1% increase, laser hair removal witnessed a 76.1% increase and Photo Rejuvenation saw a 32.3% increase in 2020 as compared to 2019.

Such treatments can encourage new customers to opt for skincare treatments and boost the market share.

The skin rejuvenation segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 14.3 % over the forecast period.
