The growth in the historic period can be attributed to integration of minimally invasive procedures, market accessibility, advances in wound care, research and clinical trials, evolution of cosmetic surgery.
The scar treatment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.11 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to innovative topical treatments, regenerative medicine advancements, evolving cosmetic surgery techniques, personalized treatment approaches, minimally invasive procedures. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for aesthetic procedures, innovation in topical treatments, regenerative medicine, cosmetic surgery advancements, patient-centric approach.
The rising number of road accidents is anticipated to boost the growth of the scar treatment market. Road accidents are defined as incidents involving at least one vehicle on a public road that result in injury or death to at least one individual. Injuries such as burns, abrasions, scrapes, or cuts lead to a natural healing process that often results in scarring. Specialized scar treatments can significantly reduce the visibility of these scars by targeting the damaged skin layers and providing noticeable improvements. For example, in September 2022, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a U.S. federal agency, reported that approximately 20,175 people died in road traffic accidents in the first half of 2022, marking a 0.5% increase compared to 2021. Thus, the growing incidence of road accidents is driving demand for scar treatments.
The growing number of surgical procedures is expected to drive the expansion of the scar treatment market. Surgical procedures involve medical interventions that utilize manual or instrumental techniques to investigate, diagnose, treat, or cure various medical conditions, injuries, or diseases through operative methods. Scar treatments in surgical settings aim to minimize scar visibility, improve cosmetic outcomes, enhance healing, alleviate discomfort, promote better functionality, and accelerate recovery. For example, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a government agency in Australia, reported that in 2022-23, 735,500 patients were admitted for surgery from public hospital elective surgery waiting lists, representing an 18% increase compared to 2021-22. Thus, the rise in surgical procedures is propelling the growth of the scar treatment market.
Product innovations are a significant trend gaining traction in the scar treatment market. Key players in this sector are developing advanced skincare technologies to enhance treatment effectiveness, improve patient outcomes, and offer less invasive options for those seeking to reduce scars. These technologies are designed to boost the efficacy of treatments, enhance safety, and deliver optimal results for various skin concerns. For example, in March 2023, Doctors Aesthetics Centre, a company based in India, introduced Picocare Majesty, a groundbreaking laser skincare device, marking its debut in South India. This device employs advanced picosecond technology to effectively target and treat different types of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and pigmentation issues.
Major companies in the scar treatment market are concentrating on innovative solutions like the RECELL System to enhance skin regeneration, improve scar healing, and offer personalized treatment options. The RECELL System is a regenerative medicine device that utilizes a small sample of the patient's skin to create a suspension of skin cells, facilitating quicker healing and minimizing scarring in burn and wound treatments. For example, in June 2023, AVITA Medical, a U.S.-based medical device company, received FDA approval for the RECELL System to treat full-thickness skin defects, extending its application beyond thermal burn wounds. This approval allows for the treatment of severe wound types, including traumatic injuries, surgical excisions, and skin cancer resections. The RECELL System's Spray-On Skin™ technology enables immediate application at the point of care, reducing the need for donor skin grafts and lessening the risks associated with traditional autografting, such as pain, infection, and prolonged recovery times.

This acquisition will incorporate Biocorneum into Nuance Medical's existing Biodermis portfolio, which features a variety of silicone scar management products.
