Growth Factors
Scar treatment market is developing at a fast rate due to the growing awareness among people regarding aesthetics. Acne scars are one of the most common concerns. Rise in the number of road accidents also results in several marks, which many a time require surgical assistance.
Hence, patients who have undergone such surgeries are generally provided with topical products for scar reduction. Cosmetic surgeries with laser instruments are also being undertaken for treating severe marks from road accidents. To remove such marks, plastic surgeries or resurfacing laser therapies are being preferred. Technologically advanced scar removal products minimize pain and facilitate a hassle-free healing process. For instance, UltraPulse by Lumenis uses CO2 laser for the treatment of acne scars reduces the risk of pain during the treatment process.
Product Insights
Topical products held the largest share of 58.21% in 2021. The availability of topical gels, creams, and silicone sheets as Over-the-Counter (OTC) products enables individuals to utilize them as a treatment for scars. Laser products are also used extensively as they provide a non-invasive and painless alternative for the treatment of scars with minimal discomfort.
Topical products are used directly on the surface of the skin. These products are segmented into creams, gels, silicone sheets, and others. As these products are easily available to consumers as OTC products, they are bought frequently. Moreover, treatment with these products does not require individuals to visit physicians for medication; hence, it proves to be an easier alternative, which is expected to boost the demand for these products.
Other topical products include pressure garments such as elastic bandages, oils, sprays, and ointments. Pressure garments apply pressure to the scar site for its treatment. These are non-invasive and can easily be applied at home without any medical consultation. However, these topical products are less effective and require around 6 to 12 months of continued usage for noticeable results, which may hinder the segment growth during the forecast period.

Scar Type Insights
Atrophic scars held the largest share of 36.62% in 2021 due to the rising prevalence of acne scars. These scars are usually treated with topical creams and gels. Hypertrophic and keloid scars are anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to their frequent occurrence among people with wound injuries.
Atrophic scars are usually a result of muscle and fat loss from the body over an injured area. Atrophic scars are usually formed when the skin produces insufficient collagen to heal the infection site. This sort of scar resembles a pit and is usually caused due to acne, staphylococcus infections, chickenpox, and in some cases, surgery.
The treatment of such scars usually revolves around the use of creams, gels, and ointments that are topical and are available easily. The treatment used for these scars helps stimulate the skin’s natural healing process to replace elastin, collagen, and other fibrous tissues. This enables the surface of the healed lesion to grow around the surrounding region. With a majority of such scars being a result of acne, the use of these creams allows the visibility of the scars to reduce. Thus, with the growing demand for aesthetic appeal, the need for such topical products to treat atrophic scars is increasing.
End-use Insights
The hospitals segment dominated the market with a share of 43.33% in 2021 owing to the usage of sophisticated infrastructure and the presence of technologically advanced products in these settings for scar treatment. The retail pharmacies/e-commerce segment is projected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period due to the rapid growth of online websites and easy access to scar treatment products on these websites. The outbreak of COVID-19 is also expected to boost the growth of the e-commerce segment.
A vast majority of scar treatment is available at hospitals, allowing patients to choose from an array of options to reduce or remove the scar. Hospitals provide patients with initial emergency care in the majority of the cases often dealing with burn injuries, cuts and wounds, and other severe injuries. The treatment to be followed is also provided by hospitals as they aim toward reducing further scar formation in patients. Hospitals on a large basis often have an array of sophisticated equipment and technically advanced procedures for patient care. The utilization of noninvasive techniques such as creams, gels, and silicone sheets along with laser therapy is performed at hospitals.
Hospitals offer a generalized treatment for most emergency care services and further provide care during the recovery period. In many burn care incidents, specialized attention is given to patients to help with the recovery process. Basic care is availed by the majority of the global population at hospitals, thus holding the largest share in the market.
Regional Insights
North America dominated the market with a revenue share of 35.42% in 2021 owing to the high aesthetic consciousness among people and the rapid adoption of advanced products. In addition, advanced laser instruments for scar treatment are in high demand in the U.S.
The U.S. held the largest share in the North American market in 2021. According to the American Burn Association (ABA), there are 486,000 burn cases annually. Scar treatment due to burn injuries is covered under government reimbursement policies in the U.S. Scar treatment for acne may not be reimbursed until a Letter of Medical Necessity is provided by a healthcare professional. Increased healthcare spending by patients is another major driver for the U.S. market. Owing to the aforementioned factors, the U.S. market for scar treatment is expected to witness positive growth. Sonoma Pharmaceuticals; Cynosure, Inc.; CCA Industries, Inc.; and Scar Heal, Inc. are some of the major players in the U.S. market.
Asia Pacific is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR of 11.74% over the forecast period due to the high incidence of road accidents in countries such as India. Key countries in the Asia Pacific market are India and China. The majority of countries in this region are developing economies and are moving toward faster adoption of technological advancements. Increasing investment by major multinational companies in R&D in these countries has proven to be a major factor driving the industries in the region. The increase in the number of women being concerned about aesthetic appeal has increased significantly, which is likely to drive the market in the region.
