Market Growth for Cosmetic Surgery
The world market for cosmetic surgery grew at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2022 to 2023 and hit $46.45 billion. Even though the Russia-Ukraine war has slowed the world economy, the market is still expected to keep growing and hit $63.66 billion by 2027, growing at an 8.2% CAGR. This growth is due to more people wanting to look better, better technology, and more people being okay with cosmetic treatments.
Cosmetic operations improve appearance by addressing wrinkles, scars, and damaged skin. Popular treatments include cosmetic dentistry, dermabrasion, brow lifts, Botox, cheek lifts, and chin surgery. In 2022, North America led the market, and it is predicted to grow the fastest.
