LED Light Face Mask Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Red & Blue LED, Near Infrared LED, Amber LED), By Application (Anti-aging, Acne Treatment), By Distribution Channel, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2022 - 2030

Report Overview

The global LED light face mask market size was valued at USD 238.1 million in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9% from 2022 to 2030. Increasing spending on skincare products accompanied by the growing availability of LED light therapy at low cost as compared to laser surgery is anticipated to foster the growth. Additionally, increased skin awareness and growing concerns over personal well-being owing to changing lifestyles among consumers are contributing to the industry's growth. Further, an increasing number of salons and cosmetic clinics selling premium skincare devices is expected to boost the growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the growth of various sectors including beauty and personal care due to the disruption in the supply chain, delay in the manufacturing process, and government restrictions on opening retail stores across the globe. Strict lockdown measures resulted in the closure of beauty salons, cosmetic medical clinics, and premium beauty product outlets, which impacted the growth of the market. Moreover, a shift in consumer demand from premium beauty products to essential items resulted in a decline in the sales of LED light face masks. However, the global market for LED light face masks is projected to recover in the future and witness strong growth due to resumed activities, sales, and the growing skincare trend across the globe.

The growing awareness regarding the benefits of LED light face masks among consumers in the U.S. is expected to propel industry growth. LED light face mask is more effective, affordable, and a safer alternative to laser and other chemical treatments. LED mask is FDA approved and is used in curing a wide range of skin conditions and concerns including fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, wounds, sun damage, psoriasis, and discoloration. In addition, changing lifestyle of women, rising beauty awareness, and monetary autonomy among women are other factors contributing to the LED light therapy demand.

Consumers are becoming more skin conscious as pollution continues to increase day by day, which, in turn, will boost the market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, the growing endorsement of LED light face masks by celebrities, dermatologists, and influencers on different social media platforms will further boost the demand among the millennial population. Celebrities including Gal Gadot, Victoria Beckham, Julia Roberts, and Kim Kardashian are promoting LED light face masks on social media and at red carpet events. For instance, in March 2021, celebrity make-up artist Sabrina Bedrani had Gal Gadot wear an LED mask by CURRENTBODY for the 78th Annual Golden Globes award held in Los Angeles. Such trends are anticipated to boost the demand for LED light face masks in the coming years.

LED light therapy uses different visible colors that correspond to different wavelengths and each color penetrates the skin at different depths. Red light therapy, blue light therapy, infrared light therapy, and other non-invasive, non-ablative methods are used in LED light therapy to cure acne and other conditions and enhance skin texture and firmness. In addition, it is possible to treat vast regions effectively using red, blue, and infrared light therapy, which is challenging with laser treatment. In addition, LED face masks are portable and convenient to use for beginners to treat common skin concerns. With the growing consumer inclination toward portable skin care products, LED light therapy is expected to witness significant demand over the forecast period. These devices are considered to be more effective and they have few or no side effects, which, in turn, is expected to increase their application among consumers.

Rising investment in R&D for effective and safer treatments and advancement of science and technology in the field of LED light therapy to improve skin health will create potential market expansion opportunities for market players. LED face masks are becoming necessary due to the increased attention of consumers to their appearance. In addition, increased spending on skincare products has become popular in recent years due to the powerful influence of social media. Models and actors who prefer to undergo cosmetic procedures to get bright and younger-looking skin are driving the demand for LED light face masks.

Type Insights

The near-infrared LED segment held the largest revenue share of over 55.0% in 2021. This mask helps in improving skin complexion, reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and reducing the signs of aging. The red and near-infrared light therapy is clinically proven to boost the production of elastin and natural collagen in the skin cells, control sebum and oil production, and promote cell turnover. For instance, Rio faceLIte LED face mask uses red and near-infrared light to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and face lines. Thus, the increasing applications of near-infrared light therapy for treating skin conditions will propel segment growth in the coming years.

The red and blue LED segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR of 13.0% during the forecast period. The majority of the LED light face mask uses a combination of red & blue light to reduce inflammation and redness. Red LED light has a longer wavelength and penetrates deeper into the skin. This therapy is an emerging treatment that has been proven beneficial in treating wrinkles, scars, acne, and other signs of aging. It stimulates the production of collagen to improve skin strength and elasticity, increase blood circulation to the tissue, and reduce inflammation in cells. Blue LED light has a shorter wavelength and is used for inhibiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria.

Application Insights

The anti-aging segment held the largest share of over 55.0% in 2021. Rising consumers’ awareness related to age-related skin problems including wrinkles, fine lines, and skin dullness, along with an increasing propensity to spend on clinical treatments and products that help them to restore their skin youthfulness, is anticipated to drive the segment over the forecast period. Although aging is a physiological change, external factors such as air pollution, exposure to harmful UV rays, alcohol consumption, and smoking are known to have adverse effects on skin cells, contributing to premature aging. LED light face masks can play a vital role in an individual's life by boosting collagen production for younger-looking skin.

Acne treatment is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 12.8% during the forecast period. The growing incidence of acne among the young population is anticipated to drive the demand for this segment. Acne patients are prone to suffer from anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. This can be attributed to the emotional and mental associations that an individual has with his/her appearance. According to a report published by acne.org in June 2020, acne lowers self-esteem and increases self-consciousness in men and women of all ages, and women, in particular, are likely to suffer more strongly than men. These psychological issues are anticipated to prompt patients to seek cosmetic solutions to improve their skin appearance, thereby facilitating industry growth.

Distribution Channel Insights

The B2B segment held the largest revenue share of over 60.0% in 2021. The B2B segment comprises salons and hospitals and clinics. Most consumers prefer salon-based treatment for LED light therapy. The fundamental issue with home-based devices is that their light sources might not be able to produce light at the proper wavelength to provide effective results. Hence, consumers prefer salon professional treatment and clinics for LED light therapy as they provide safe and efficient treatment. Moreover, dermatologists can assist consumers in achieving skin goals by proactively addressing skin issues and problem spots.

The B2C segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 12.7% from 2022 to 2030. The B2C segment consists of hypermarkets and supermarkets, pharmacies and drugstores, online, and others. The primary factor that contributed to the higher growth of the segment is the loyalty of clients to offline retail locations for the purchase of cosmetics and beauty products. Also, the growing accessibility of cosmetics and personal care items in department stores and specialty retailers is driving the segment. In addition, the growing popularity of e-commerce websites, coupled with the rising penetration of smartphones across the globe, is expected to provide ample growth opportunities to the market in the near future.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market in 2021, accounting for over 40.0% share of the total revenue. The major factors that propel the market growth include increasing consumer expenditure on beauty and personal care products and the growing trend of premium skincare brands among celebrities in the region. According to SkinStore survey, Americans spend around USD 322 on skin care products annually. Consumers, especially women, are incorporating friendly skincare devices and products in their beauty regimes to improve skin conditions, which is anticipated to fuel the growth. In addition, the presence of premium beauty and skincare brands such as DMH Aesthetics, CELLRETURN, Skin Gym, and Aduro will accelerate regional market growth.

Asia Pacific is forecasted to expand at a CAGR of 13.0% from 2022 to 2030. The market is mainly driven by the increasing availability of LED light face masks and growing awareness regarding their benefits. Moreover, the growing awareness regarding skin treatment and increasing disposable income in countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea will support regional growth. New application launches in the region and other robust marketing initiatives adopted by market players to educate consumers regarding the benefits of LED light therapy will further propel the growth. For instance, in October 2020, DOS Int’I Korea launched a new LED light mask, YouniqueW-SMART for anti-aging treatment at Cosmoprof Asia Digital Week. The product features 2,340 pcs LED lights to target the face uniformly without leaving any blind spots.
