Growth Drivers

Growing Adoption of Minimally Invasive Aesthetics Procedures

The benefits of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures have accelerated their popularity. Smaller incisions, less pain, a shorter hospital stay, a faster recovery, and improved precision are just some of the advantages that are driving the growth of the global medical aesthetics market. In 2020, 2,314,720 plastic and cosmetic procedures were performed, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The minimally invasive surgery is as a procedure performed through tiny incisions instead of large incisions. Because the recovery time and pain associated with minimally invasive cosmetic operations are reduced due to the smaller incisions made during surgery, surgeons are increasingly turning to minimally invasive aesthetic procedures, thereby driving the growth of the global medical aesthetics market.

Adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Robots

Implementing advanced technology such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics in medical aesthetics has had a favorable impact on the market. These technological advancements have revolutionized the overall industry of medical aesthetics. AI and robotics can perform minimally invasive surgery much efficiently. With the help of these automatic surgical systems, surgeons can improve accuracy, navigation, imaging, and visualization. Automatic robotics arms are creating lucrative market opportunity and propelling the market growth for the global medical aesthetics market.

For instance, AVRA medical robotics, a global leader in the field of medical robotics, is coming up with a unique surgical platform in the medical aesthetics field. They have named the system AVRA Instrument Guidance System (AIGS), which will enable the surgeon performing the surgery to simulate the same surgery before performing it on the patients. These medical advances integrated with high-end simulation technologies will help surgeons to perform surgery more effectively, thus propelling the growth of the global medical aesthetics market.

Restraints

High Procedural Cost

The high cost of procedures is limiting the growth of the global medical aesthetics market. Doctor appointments, frequent physical checkups, and the cost of surgery, drugs, and other medical aesthetics procedures are all part of the process. The global medical aesthetics market's growth is hampered by the prolonged procedure, as well as high procedural costs, and a scarcity of experienced doctors and surgeons. Furthermore, the medical aesthetics market's growth may be hampered by surgery-related side-effects. Also, the availability of alternative cosmetic products is obstructing market growth.

Impact of COVID-19

COVID-19 has hindered the growth of the medical aesthetics market. While some sections of the medical industry may have witnessed profits as a result of COVID-19, the medical aesthetics business has witnessed a significant decline. Due to the coronavirus-induced lockdown, the medical aesthetics market had to face challenges in the supply chain, logistic, and transportation of equipment and products to hospitals and end-users. The market has also suffered as a result of decreased demand from end-users who were hesitant to visit hospitals or professional surgeons in the fear of contracting the virus. It is expected that in the post-pandemic period, the market is likely to grow at a substantial rate due to the increasing adoption of advance AI-enabled robots as robots can assist doctors in maintaining a safe distance from patients by employing probes and remote medical devices.
