The global topical scar treatment market size is estimated to reach USD 3.31 billion by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 11.9% from 2025 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing prevalence of burn injuries, skin-related disorders, and trauma are major factors likely to contribute to market growth. Topical products are a variety of substances, compounds, or mixtures that are designed for application on the skin, hair, or nails, with a purpose to exert their effects specifically on the applied area. They are frequently incorporated into routines for personal care, including skincare and haircare.

Moreover, the market is likely to be driven by the growing acceptance of ambulatory surgery centers and introduction of portable or mobile devices for scar treatment in both developed and developing regions. The market has seen significant technological advancements, including the introduction of laser therapies such as the Q-switched laser-based device, MedLite C6, which is specifically designed for treating acne. These laser instruments assist in the breakdown of scar tissue, thereby simplifying scar treatment procedures.

A model was established by examining the occurrence of scars across different regions and countries. It was observed that most patients preferred topical treatments for managing their scars. The usage rates of creams, gels, silicon sheets, and other products were subsequently analyzed. Furthermore, factors such as the average pricing of products, their usability, and the duration of treatment were considered to estimate the market size and allocate the segment division for each type of product.
