Global Hair Restoration Market

Hair Restoration Market: Insights

A surgical technique called hair restoration is used to cure baldness or hair loss (alopecia). It's a hair transplant treatment for males and females who have severe bald spots, hair loss, or thinning hair. It may also be used to regenerate eyebrows, chest hair, beard hair, eyelashes, and pubic hair. Hair loss and baldness are common in men, owing to hereditary factors and age.

The main driver of the demand is the growing prevalence of androgenetic alopecia. Changes in lifestyle, such as excessive tobacco and alcohol consumption, and rising stress levels, are thought to be powerful causes for the disease. While the precise cause of the disorder is unclear, genetic causes have been attributed to a number of cases. Other trends, such as rising disposable income and a focus on aesthetics are also expected to push the sector.

As the overall performance of procedures including Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) has improved and proved to be viable alternatives for hair restoration, the market is gaining popularity. Furthermore, with significant aesthetic results, many hair professionals now combine these two treatments. The fact that hair restoration procedures have been less invasive in recent times is one of the main reasons for their popularity.

Alopecia has been linked to aging and hormonal imbalances as possible causes. Hair loss may be caused by thyroid imbalances or a decrease in estragon levels in menopausal women. Androgen hormones such as Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and testosterone are important hormones whose imbalances can affect hair growth.

Besides that, disease susceptibility is influenced by gender. As per the American Hair Loss Association, androgenetic alopecia is responsible for over 95 percent of hair loss in males. A gradual rise in customer awareness of alopecia therapeutic alternatives is also expected to have a favorable effect on the market in the coming years. The number of men seeking hair transplants has risen, as many of them have a hereditary susceptibility to Dihydrotestosterone, a testosterone byproduct (DHT).

Furthermore, the implementation of robotic surgical hair transplant technologies, such as ARTAS, would support the hair transplant services market by resulting in a safe and successful hair transplant process. The rising use of NeoGraft hair transplant systems, which are performed using the follicular unit extraction process and are suitable for both males and females, is expected to fuel this market during the forecast period.

Furthermore, rising social stigma and constant self-consciousness over facial attractiveness, as well as social pressure to develop thicker hair, are some of the main factors driving the acceptance of hair restoration services. Furthermore, the increased need to improve hair condition has been one of the primary priorities among beauty-conscious customers, fueling the demand for hair restoration services and propelling the global hair restoration services market forward.

Hair Restoration Market: By Procedure

During the forecast period, the FUE segment had the largest market share. FUE, also known as grafting, is a form of hair transplant that involves removing individual hair follicles from the skin and transplanting them to a certain area of the body where the hair is thin or missing. Several small, circular incisions or punctures are spread across the donor region as part of the extraction process. FUE transplantation has grown in popularity because it is less invasive than Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), has almost untraceable scarring, is easier to heal, and is more comfortable for the patient.

Hair Restoration Market: By Therapy

During the forecast period, the Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) category had the highest revenue. Plasma-rich proteins are said to enhance a weak donor, lower graft transaction rate, improve implanted graft yield rate, and promote wound healing in both the donor and receiver areas. However, over the forthcoming years, the Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) segment and the stem cell hair restoration segment are predicted to develop at a substantial rate. Photons are irradiated into the scalp membranes by the LLLT process and are then consumed by poor cells to promote hair formation. This treatment is also generally accepted because it is less invasive, secure, and bearable than hair transplant surgery. Commercial LLLT devices are now available and have usage at home at a reasonable cost. There are currently 29 FDA-approved LLLT devices for the treatment of pattern hair loss on the market. When transformed into the scalp, stem cell therapy has also shown to activate hair cells and aid in the growth of new follicles, and hence new hair. However, research into the use of stem cell therapy for hair regeneration is only in its early stages, with no evidence of efficacy.

Hair Restoration Market: By Region

During the forecast period, North America led the market, accounting for the largest profit share. This rise is due to technical advancements and a spike in the proportion of people opting for hair restoration treatments. The region has a good level of expertise about aesthetic treatments, and the number of people opting for cosmetic procedures has also increased. Hair loss is becoming more common in the US population, which is anticipated to drive the demand in the region. The increasing acceptance of ground-breaking hair restoration treatments, as well as evolving lifestyles such as drinking and smoking habits, are driving the demand in Japan. Furthermore, the growing number of private and public clinics in the nation that provides a variety of affordable hair loss remedies has resulted in a steady increase in the use of hair fall restoration surgeries.

The Asia Pacific region, which has the highest growth rate in the forecast period, is expected to rise enormously. This is mostly attributed to the region's growing urbanization. Because of the large population in this region, many people are interested in improving their appearance. Furthermore, the high incidence of disorders such as alopecia, which is exacerbated by rapid lifestyle changes and urbanization, is driving people to seek out hair restoration treatments, boosting the sector's market penetration.
