The global market for medical aesthetic devices was valued at $20.1 billion in 2023. It is projected to grow from $22.2 billion in 2024 to $37.9 billion by the end of 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3% from 2024 through 2029.



The global market for medical aesthetic devices was valued at $20.1 billion in 2023. It is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3% to reach $37.9 billion by the end of 2029. The growing use of minimally invasive devices, the increase in the number of medical aesthetic procedures, developments in cosmetic surgery using laser technology, the rise in medical tourism, the increase in demand for breast augmentation surgeries and the rise in the prevalence of obesity are factors driving market growth.

However, the high cost of medical aesthetic procedures, inadequate reimbursement policies and stringent government regulations, ethical and social stigmas related to medical aesthetics and adverse effects from cosmetic procedures could hinder the market’s growth in the next five years.

This report segments the global market by device type, application, end user and region. By device type, the non-energy-based aesthetic device segment accounted for the larger market share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.6% during the forecast period. This segment’s dominance is ascribed to its minimal risk and less invasive nature, which makes these procedures safer for a wide range of patients. Additionally, these devices offer more affordable treatment options.

By application, the facial aesthetic procedures segment held the largest market share in 2023. This segment’s dominance is ascribed to the rising popularity of facial rejuvenation treatments, such as Botox, dermal fillers and skin resurfacing, particularly among younger and aging populations.

Hospitals held the largest share of the end-user market in 2023. By region, North America accounted for 36.7% of the market in 2023. Increased adoption of medical aesthetics and the significant regional presence of key product manufacturers contributed to this large share.

Leading global product manufacturers include Alma Lasers, Johnson & Johnson Services Inc., El. En. S.p.A., Bausch Health Companies Inc. and Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company.
