China Aesthetic Devices Market Analysis
The China Aesthetic Devices Market size is estimated at USD 1.58 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 2.72 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 11.40% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
As the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic increased, the safety of ablative resurfacing lasers, micro-needling, and dermatological surgery procedures became questionable. Additionally, a slowing economy and reduced discretionary spending discouraged customers from undergoing expensive cosmetic treatments, which imposed practical restrictions on the market. Mobile messaging and video consultations play a key role in maintaining continuity in aesthetic and dermatological practices. Teledermatology has certainly been a great strength for dermatologists and cosmetic practitioners alike.
Certain factors driving the market growth include the growing obese population, increasing awareness regarding aesthetic procedures, rising adoption of minimally invasive devices, and technological advancements in devices.
According to the article, 'Forecasting the Populations of Overweight and Obese Chinese Adults,' published by the National Institute of Health 2020, the prevalence rate of the obese population in China is estimated to increase for both sexes across geographic areas by 2030. According to the same source, by 2030, approximately 50.7% of urban males will be affected by obesity, and the overweight population (aged between 20-89 years) in China is estimated to reach 540 million.
Additionally, the Chinese population has high levels of interest in undergoing aesthetic procedures in a bid to look beautiful. This was evident in a survey conducted in 2019 by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China. Conducted on 596 Chinese aesthetic practitioners, this survey found that Chinese aesthetic practitioners preferred a straight and small nose, a heart/inverted triangular facial shape with a reduced lower face height, as well as lips that are full medially and taper off laterally with well-defined borders and Cupid's bow.
New technologies are being developed and introduced into the market, including laser, dynamic pulse control, radiofrequency, and infrared technologies for cosmetic procedures. For instance, in October 2020, TensCare, the UK-based startup, entered the Chinese market through a partnership with Alibaba Group's TMall Global. TensCare is a beauty brand that offers aesthetic devices such as nail cleaning laser devices. Thus, all these developments in the market, along with the high demand for aesthetic procedures in China, are the factors anticipated to propel market growth over the forecast period.
