Aesthetic threads market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 10.5% during the forecast period (2024-2031).

Market Dynamics

Growing Demand for Non-Invasive Surgical Procedures

The growing demand for non-invasive cosmetic procedures to enhance aesthetic appearance is driving the growth of the global aesthetic threads market. The increased patient’s desire for a quick recovery time is being met by these minimally invasive procedures as these procedures require less time compared to traditional surgical procedures. Therefore, due to its high efficacy and low-risk properties, it has become a gold standard in the healthcare sector. According to the survey conducted by the International Survey on Aesthetic/Cosmetic Procedures (ISAPS), in 2022, 18.8 million non-surgical aesthetic procedures were performed globally.  

Introduction of Spas Offering Thread Lifting Surgeries

The introduction of new Spas that offer thread-lifting procedures is anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for market growth. For instance, in November 2022, Bioregeneration Integrated Medical Centre launched a regenerative medical spa at its 15 Haining Road, Kingston, location. With the launch of this spa, the center will be offering a regenerative approach to aesthetics and skin care, including treatments such as vampire facials, microneedling with skin boost and platelets, Botox, PRF, thread lifts, and dermal fillers, and more.

Market Segmentation

Suspension Thread is Projected to Emerge as the Largest Segment

Based on the product type, the global aesthetic threads market is sub-segmented into suspension thread & rejuvenating thread.

Facelift/Skin Rejuvenation Sub-segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share

The reduced recovery of face lifting using aesthetic threads is a key factor contributing to the high share of aesthetic threads for this application. The increasing demand for facelift procedures globally is further contributing to the growth of this market segment. According to the study conducted by the International Survey on Aesthetic/Cosmetic Procedures (ISAPS), the number of face lift procedures has increased from 398,798 in 2018 to 541,491 in 2022.
