- Technological Advancements: Advancements in aesthetic technologies, such as light-based, laser-based and ultrasound aesthetic devices, are bolstering the growth potential. The APAC market is expected to have a growth rate of over 13% throughout 2030 due to energy-based aesthetic treatments.
- Male Aesthetics: The market for male aesthetic procedures is expanding, driven by increasing awareness and a desire to address concerns like aging, hair loss, and body contouring.
- Influence of Social Media: Social media platforms and influencers play a substantial role in promoting aesthetic treatments and shaping patient preferences. Young people are significantly influenced by content posted on social media platforms, with TikTok being one of the main drivers of global trends. Over a third of Gen Z users in Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and some other countries spend more than two hours a day on TikTok. At the same time, Facebook and Instagram are still the most used platforms among the general population, especially consumers over 25.
- Home Equipment: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted consumers to seek at-home treatments, e.g., IPL hair removal.
Overall, the Asian aesthetic medicine market presents a tremendous opportunity for foreign companies due to its active growth, high demand for aesthetic medicine procedures, as well as large and diverse population.
