Cellulite Treatment Global Market Report 2024

The cellulite treatment market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.01 billion in 2023 to $2.25 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The growth in cellulite treatment during the historic period can be attributed to heightened awareness and concerns related to beauty and aesthetics, an increase in disposable income among consumers, the influence of media and advertising, a growing aging population, and the prevalence of fitness and wellness culture.

The cellulite treatment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.35 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. In the forecast period, the growth in cellulite treatment can be attributed to advancements in non-invasive treatments, a rising demand for minimally invasive procedures, the emergence of personalized and combination therapies, a global increase in cosmetic procedures, and the influence of wellness tourism. Major trends in the forecast period include a focus on long-term results, telemedicine consultations for treatment planning, partnerships with social media influencers, the development of at-home cellulite treatment devices, and educational campaigns emphasizing realistic expectations.

The cellulite treatment market is anticipated to experience significant growth, driven by the escalating cases of obesity. Obesity, a medical condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of body fat that poses health risks, contributes to increased cellulite formation. As obesity levels rise and fat accumulates for extended periods, it exerts pressure on lymphatic vessels, leading to tissue breakdown and the development of cellulitis. For instance, as per the World Obesity Atlas 2022 report in March 2022, the global estimate of individuals with obesity (Class I, II, and III) ≥30kg/m2 was 764 million in 2020, projected to surge to 892 million by 2025. Consequently, the surging cases of obesity are acting as a catalyst for the growth of the cellulite treatment market.

The burgeoning demand for aesthetic and cosmetic procedures is also expected to propel the cellulite treatment market in the forthcoming years. Aesthetic and cosmetic procedures encompass surgical or medical interventions performed to enhance an individual's appearance for non-medical reasons, distinct from treatments aimed at addressing illnesses or physiological functions. Cellulite treatment is frequently sought in cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of dimpled or lumpy skin, commonly found on the thighs, buttocks, hips, and abdomen. For example, based on a survey conducted by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in September 2023, the number of procedures performed by plastic surgeons witnessed an 11.2% increase in 2022, totaling approximately 14.9 million surgical and 18.8 million non-surgical procedures. This substantial surge in demand for aesthetic and cosmetic procedures is a pivotal driving force behind the growth of the cellulite treatment market.

The cellulite treatment market is witnessing a prominent trend centered on product innovation, with major companies actively introducing groundbreaking products to maintain their market standing. For instance, in March 2022, Endo International PLC, an Ireland-based pharmaceuticals company, unveiled Qwo (collagenase clostridium histolyticum-aaes), the first FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to address moderate to severe cellulite. QWO is hypothesized to enzymatically release fibrous septae, primarily targeting Types 1 and 3 collagen upon injection into the treatment area. This enzymatic action aims to enhance skin smoothness and improve the appearance of cellulite.

Significant players in the cellulite treatment market are prioritizing approvals for innovative technologies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's clearance of Rapid Acoustic Pulse Technology, to cater better to their existing consumer base. Rapid Acoustic Pulse (RAP) technology, a non-invasive method for cellulite therapy, employs high-frequency sound waves to physically modify the fibrous structures responsible for cellulite, such as septae. This alteration, occurring at a rate of 50–100 times per second, aids in restoring skin smoothness. For instance, in February 2021, Soliton, Inc., a US-based medical technology company, announced the FDA approval of Rapid Acoustic Pulse ('RAP') technology for temporarily enhancing the appearance of cellulite. This groundbreaking technique utilizes sound waves to effectively and safely disrupt fibrous septa bands underlying the skin, achieving remarkable results in just a single 40–60 minute treatment.

In December 2021, Allergan Aesthetics, a US-based medical aesthetics and eye care manufacturer, acquired Soliton, Inc. for approximately $550 million. This strategic acquisition enhanced Allergan's portfolio and expanded its customer reach with improved product offerings. Soliton, Inc. is a US-based manufacturer known for its RESONIC devices, specifically designed for the treatment of cellulite.
