    Analyst Opinion

    In the Skin Treatment market, the prevalence of skin diseases is a significant driving factor affecting the market growth. This is especially the case in emerging countries, where vehicle pollution, unhealthy lifestyles, and a lack of awareness of healthcare and skin diseases lead to a higher demand for skin treatment products.

    Furthermore, the launch of effective medicine products also has a crucial impact on the market growth. However, the side effects of skin treatment products could cause life-threatening situations, which leads to a restriction of the development of the Skin Treatment market.

    In 2022, the global Skin Treatment market reached US$17.94 billion and recovered from a slight decline in 2020 brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the forecast period, the market is expected to reach a CAGR of around 3%.
