Market Overview
The Facial Injectables market is expected to register a CAGR of nearly 12.2% during the forecast period.
The outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in decreased public mobility and has also impacted the therapeutic and surgical industry significantly, as the surgical procedures and screening programs, which are non-immediate and are being postponed to decrease the burden on healthcare infrastructure. For instance, according to the study published in the British Journal of Surgery, in May 2020, based on a 12-week period of peak disruption to hospital services due to COVID-19, around 28.4 million elective surgeries worldwide will be canceled or postponed 2020. In addition, rising cases of COVID–19 in the countries are expected to have a short-term impact on surgical rates of cosmetic procedures. The short-term effects on the surgical segment are less prominent. However, the adverse impacts of COVID-19 on the global economy can have significant indirect effects on the surgical segment of the market.
The propelling factors for the growth of the facial injectables market include the rising aesthetic consciousness and number of cosmetic procedures, the introduction of cost-effective facial injectable, and the aging population.
The cosmetic industry is found to be booming in the current decade and has undergone an estimated three-fold increase in turnover over the last few decades. In particular, there has been an increase in the total number of non-surgical therapies, such as injections of wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers. This trend is primarily due to the advantages of technologies, such as low recovery time, less risk of infections, no blood loss, and the overall reduction in procedural costs. For instance, according to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) published Global Survey Results 2020 report, a total of 10,129,528 cosmetic surgical procedures were performed in 2020, and the top five surgical procedures included breast augmentation (1,624,281), liposuction (1,525,197), eyelid surgery (1,225,540), abdominoplasty (765,248), and rhinoplasty (852,554).
In addition, there is a consistent rise in the geriatric population that helps to boost the market growth. For instance, according to the World Health Organization, by 2030, 1 out of every 6 people on the planet will be 60 years old or older. The number of people aged 60 and up is expected to rise from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion by 2050. By 2050, the global population of people aged 60 and above will get double to reach 2.1 billion. Between 2020 and 2050, the number of people aged 80 and above is expected to triple, reaching 426 million. Furthermore, technological advancements are also helping in the growth of the market.
The market players are adopting various strategies such as product launches, developments, collaborations, partnerships, acquisitions and expansions to increase market share. For instance, in February 2019, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved, Jeuveau which is found to be effective in reducing wrinkles. Thus, owing to above mentioned factors it is likely to drive the market growth. However, factors such as side-effects of available products limiting adoption and lack of reimbursement policies supporting cosmetic procedures are likely to impede market growth in near future.
