Medical Spa Market Growth & Trends

The global medical spa market size is expected to reach USD 36.8 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 14.3% from 2021 to 2028. Increasing demand for noninvasive aesthetic treatment is one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, the high influence of social media among millennials and rising demand for dermal fillers are propelling the demand for medical spas. Technological advancements, such as laser systems, have resulted in increased costs of medical spa procedures. For instance, in 2016, the average cost of laser skin resurfacing procedures increased by around 15.0%. However, rising disposable income levels will drive the demand for novel procedures.

Rapidly rising global population is increasing the demand for aesthetic cosmetic treatments and minimally invasive solutions. Availability of best anti-ageing treatments, relaxing atmosphere, quality services provided by certified professionals and innovative and cutting-edge technology are leading to increase in preference for medical spas. The growing popularity and trend of wellness tourism and rising awareness about aesthetic procedures are anticipated to further expand the market in the forecast period.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in revenue loss of cosmetic service providers. Aesthetic procedures are considered elective and non-essential and hence were postponed or canceled during the pandemic. On the other hand, the lockdown encouraged people to use video conferencing facilities, which made them more conscious about their looks. This led people to opt for cosmetic treatments as soon as the medical facilities re-opened, providing considerable growth opportunities for the market.
