Aesthetic Threads Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Aesthetic Threads Market Analysis

The Aesthetic Threads Market size is estimated at USD 125.62 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 208.47 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 10.66% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The aesthetic threads market witnessed a decline during the COVID-19 outbreak, but the impact was not as severe as seen in other industries. For instance, according to a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology in September 2022, COVID-19 profoundly affected the delivery of aesthetic treatment to the general public. Though consumer discretionary spending decreased, the aesthetic threads market saw a behavioral shift toward safe and reliable products. Post-pandemic, plastic surgeons received a surge in inquiries for cosmetic procedures after the easing of lockdowns, with people caring more about their aesthetic appearance. Thus, the impact of the outbreak was observed in terms of a lower number of patient visits and interruptions in supply chains; however, as per the analysis, the market has gained traction as the treatments have resumed worldwide and the market has witnessed a new avenue of opportunity due to the upsurge in geriatric aesthetics.

The growth of the aesthetic threads market can be attributed to the increasing use of minimally invasive treatments for anti-aging, face lifting, and facial rejuvenation and less time consuming procedures. For instance, as per the ISAPS data published in September 2023, 541,491 facelift procedures were performed globally in 2022, and the facelift procedure increased by 35.8% since 2018. The rise in the prevalence of such procedures is expected to icnrease the usage of the aesthetic threads which is anticipated to drive market growth over the forecast period.

Additionally, the increasing number of people aged 65 and over is also expected to drive the demand for aesthetic procedures. The provocation of an array of microscopic and macroscopic complex volumetric changes leading to the signs of aging will in turn boost the market demand for aesthetic threads in several cosmetic procedures in the geriatric population. According to the UN report for 2022, there were 771 million people worldwide who are 65 or older by the end of the 2022. By 2030, there will be 994 million older people in the world, and by 2050, there will be 1.6 billion. Therefore, the expected rise in the geriatric population is anticipated to drive market growth due to the rise in the adoption of facelift surgeries in this age group.

However, the presence of unregistered practitioners, the high cost of procedures, and uncertain & short-term results are expected to restrain the market growth over the forecast period.
