The scar treatment market is estimated to witness a CAGR of 11.45% to reach US$21,678.028 million in 2024 from US$11,313.217 million in 2018. Scarring is part of the healing process after an injury. There are different types of scars including Keloid scars, contracture scars, hypertrophic scars, and acne scars. Their appearance and treatment depend on multiple factors. Treatments include laser treatment, using topical products and injectables.

Rising awareness among people regarding aesthetics and a rising number of road accidents are considered the driving factor for the growth of the market. Technological advancement in scar treatment products makes the whole process of treatment painless and hassle-free which further fuels the growth of the market. However high cost involved in laser-based products is considered as the restraining factor for the growth of the market.

On the basis of scar type, the keloid and contracture segment is expected to have a significant market share because these scars hamper movement and the incidence of burn injury is also on the rise. By treatment type, topical products are expected to have a significant market share as their application is easy and the cost is low. Asia Pacific region is expected to grow with high CAGR owing to growing awareness and treatment in developing countries like China, Japan, and India.
