The global aesthetic market was valued at ~USD 12 billion in 2019 with growth of ~8% Y-o-Y over 2018
Note: Our global coverage includes US, Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin America only

Aesthetic firms initially reported among the steepest COVID-19 declines across medtech, however the market is now showing a swift rebound

YoY* 2020 aesthetic revenue decline

  • In late Q1 and Q2, most aesthetic associations globally recommended postponing elective procedures, such as aesthetic procedures
  • The loosening of these restrictions in late Q2 to early Q3, the increasing focus on self-care, and increasing virtual interactions led most patients to resume aesthetic treatments, particularly maintenance procedures, thus driving robust recovery

* YoY corresponds to nine months ended in 2020 vs the same period in 2019

Despite intermittent regional restrictions, the bulk of aesthetic market recovery is expected during 2021 as infection prevention protocols are in place and patient demand has largely been undeterred
