Asia is a fast-growing market for aesthetics injectables. This region’s consumer base is much younger than that in the U.S., with affluent women seeking facial treatments. However, there are some challenges to this market’s growth. First, Asian markets are highly competitive, with a highly-educated consumer base.

Demand for aesthetics injectables is strong in Asia

Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing market for aesthetics injectables, with an annual growth rate of 10.3%. The growing middle-class population and increasing disposable income in Asia are driving the demand for aesthetic injectable treatments in the region. Aesthetic injectables are used to treat conditions such as blepharospasm, strabismus, Meige’s syndrome, Oromandibular Dystonia, hemifacia, and focal hyperhidrosis.

The aesthetics injectables market has demonstrated resilience during the past recession. During the 2008 global economic crisis, the market lost only 2.4 percent of its market value and just under 20 percent of its sales. This was less than half the loss seen by the S&P 500 Index. However, in the next two years, the market is expected to rebound rapidly. The recovery will be driven by increasing awareness about the benefits of aesthetic procedures.

Many China-based beauty brands partner with KOLs to help them promote their brands and products.
