Skincare Devices Market Size & Forecast
The Skincare Devices Market is expected to reach $34.86 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 11.8% from 2024 to 2031. The growth of this market can be attributed to several factors, including the growing importance of personal grooming & the evolution of skincare, reluctance to use facial care products due to the presence of toxic & harmful chemicals, increasing demand for non-invasive procedures, and high spending on personal care. Moreover, technological advancements in skincare devices and growing penetration of e-commerce are expected to offer growth opportunities for the players operating in this market.
Skincare Devices Market Growth Drivers
Growing Importance of Personal Grooming and Evolution of Skin Care
Personal grooming is the practice of caring for and maintaining one’s body or specific parts of it. Not only does personal grooming keep an individual fresh and clean, but it also helps protect the body against infections and diseases. Additionally, it enhances a person’s personality and productivity. Skincare tools play a crucial role in this process by cleansing, enhancing, and altering one's appearance.
Skincare is evolving by incorporating biotechnologies. For instance, in March 2021, Neutrogena Corporation (U.S.) introduced a Beta version of a 3D-printed face mask called Neutrogena MaskiD. This innovative mask was developed using Johnson & Johnson’s in-house 3D Printing Center. The Neutrogena Skin360 tool allows users to personalize their face masks, tailoring them to individual preferences and skin types. This customization includes selecting active ingredients best suited to the user's specific skincare needs.
Increasing Demand for Non-invasive Procedures
Non-invasive skincare treatments involve the use of devices that do not cause pain or discomfort during the procedure. In recent years, there have been numerous innovations aimed at performing minimally invasive procedures. This trend is largely driven by growing awareness of the benefits of non-invasive treatments, the availability of innovative products, and the increasing demand for aesthetic treatments among men. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 18,857,311 non-surgical procedures, including hair removal, non-surgical fat reduction, and non-surgical skin tightening, were performed in 2022.
New devices and systems are continuously being introduced to perform non-invasive and non-surgical procedures suitable for all skin types. For example, in June 2022, Cynosure, LLC (U.S.) launched the PicoSure Pro device, a 755nm picosecond laser that uses pressure instead of heat to provide safe and effective treatments for unwanted pigmentation and skin revitalization across all skin types.
Skincare Devices Market Trends
Rising Popularity of Wearable Beauty Devices
Traditionally, skincare devices produced uniform effects on all skin types, regardless of individual texture and conditions. However, increasing awareness of beauty standards and the importance of skincare for both men and women has led to the development of personalized procedures and devices tailored to specific skin types. This personalization is made possible through wearable skincare and beauty devices, such as smart skin patches, smart masks, smart skin monitors, LED light therapy masks, and UV trackers.
One notable example is Neutrogena Corporation's (U.S.) SkinScanner. This device tracks UV exposure and environmental factors that can impact skin health, such as pollution and humidity. Equipped with 12 high-powered LED lights, the SkinScanner analyzes skin health and identifies areas of concern, including wrinkles and fine lines.
Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Skincare Devices and Applications
Recent times have witnessed remarkable advancements in skincare treatment technologies. The beauty and skincare industries are continuously evolving to offer personalized and effective treatment solutions. A powerful tool driving this evolution is artificial intelligence (AI). AI utilizes algorithms to identify various skin types, needs, and conditions, and provides tailored skincare procedures and regimens. According to Accenture's Personalization Pulse Check, 91% of consumers are more likely to shop from brands offering a personalized approach.
AI also facilitates teleconsultations for skincare procedures with certified healthcare professionals. For example, in April 2024, NAOS Bioderma (U.S.) and Institut Esthederm collaborated with HautAI OÜ (Germany) to launch SkinObserver, an AI-driven skin analysis tool. SkinObserver generates personalized skincare rituals and procedure recommendations tailored to every skin type.
Skincare Devices Market Opportunity
Growing Penetration of E-Commerce
Skincare tools are commonly used in hospitals and clinics for procedures such as hair removal and skin tightening. However, the growing penetration of e-commerce has made certain skincare devices more accessible for at-home use. Devices like epilators and Gua Sha stones are portable and available at retail stores, pharmacies, and online websites.
According to data from Unicommerce eSolutions Limited (India), the e-commerce industry experienced a 69.4% year-on-year growth in 2022, up from 44.9% in 2021. Reflecting this trend, in February 2024, Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (U.S.) launched the Nu Skin RenuSpa iO, a smart beauty and wellness device designed to promote overall wellness and confidence through skin stimulation, suitable for use at home or in hospitals and clinics.

Hair and tattoo removal have become increasingly common procedures for both genders in recent times. The rapid growth of this segment can be attributed to several factors, including heightened awareness of personal grooming, concerns about infections from unsanitary hair removal practices and tattoo procedures, and the rising popularity of hair removal products & devices.

The large share of the segment is primarily due to the high disposable income in this region, high spending on personal care, rising awareness for personal grooming, rising number of skincare clinics & specialists, and the growing number of non-surgical aesthetic procedures. For instance, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment of skincare specialists is projected to grow 9% from 2022 to 2032.
However, Asia-Pacific is slated to register the highest CAGR of 13.1% during the forecast period. This is attributed to factors such as the growing number of manufacturers of skin products in the region, growing middle class and rising spending on personal care products, and growing demand for organic products. Moreover, the increasing consumer pool due to the increase in population, along with the increasing youth population using and following beauty care regimes in countries like China and India, is driving the growth in this region.
