Report Overview

The global medical spa market size was valued at USD 14.4 billion in 2021 and is expected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.82% from 2022 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to factors, such as increasing consumer awareness about self-care and anti-aging services along with a rapid expansion of the wellness tourism sector. According to the American Med Spa Association (AMSA), there is a high demand for minimally invasive treatments, such as chemical peels and non-surgical skin tightening, along with body sculpting and tattoo removal. Moreover, wellness packages offered in hotels create a fast-growing demand for wellness-themed vacations.

Medical spa has been shaped by constantly changing customer demands. With customers becoming more social media savvy, awareness about anti-aging solutions is on the rise. Increasing demand for anti-aging skincare solutions remains the key driver in this market. According to the 2021 plastic surgery statistics by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, people aged 30 to 39 accounted for 45% of cosmetic surgeries in the U.S., with 6.1 million total cosmetic procedures, including 684,000 surgical procedures and 5.4 million minimally invasive surgeries.

Key companies offer personalized beauty treatments to justify premium prices and aim to leverage their position. An emerging trend in the sector is the incorporation of biophilic design, wellness architecture into the complete structural design of the property.

COVID-19 Medical Spa Market Impact: 7.1 % decrease from 2019 to 2021

Rapid growth in the wellness tourism industry is creating potential growth opportunities for new entrants that offer a unique integration of business areas, such as hospitality, travel, beauty treatments, and fitness. Furthermore, increasing adoption of dermal fillers among women in their late 20s and rising demand for laser hair removal, facial procedures are likely to fuel the market growth.

Service Insights

The facial treatment segment dominated the market with a share of 54.6% in 2021. The dominant share of the segment is mainly attributed to the increasing demand for antiaging treatment options such as Botox and dermal fillers. According to ISAPS, botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid injections were among the top aesthetic procedures globally. In 2019, a total of 6,271,488 botulinum toxin and 4,315,859 hyaluronic acid procedures were performed worldwide.

The body shaping and contouring segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period. Noninvasive fat reduction procedures are anticipated to surpass surgical methods such as liposuction. According to the American Med Spa Association’s 2017 State of the Medical Spa Industry report, 54.07% of medical spas in the U.S. offer body contouring services. Advancements in energy-based minimally invasive devices perfectly fit within the medical spa model and are anticipated to open new opportunities for aesthetic enhancement.

For instance, according to the Supplement to Modern Aesthetics by the American Med Spa Association, the average price of laser hair removal in the U.S. rose by around 51% in 2016 than in 2011 whereas the cost of tattoo removal increased by 42%. This trend is supported by increasing out-of-pocket expenditure worldwide, thereby propelling market growth.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the market with a share of 41.9% in 2021 owing to higher expenditure on wellness tourism (domestic and international traffic) than other regions.The easy availability of different services and products for various aesthetic procedures in the U.S. and Canada is expected to further boost the market.  However, in 2021, the sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a decrease in the number of aesthetic surgeries, which may hamper the growth of the market in the region. 

Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR over the forecast period due to the increasing popularity and growth of the wellness tourism sector and rising wellness tourism expenditure. Increasing interest in experiential travel and the growing affordability of flights and travel options will drive the regional market further.
