Development trends of China's beauty instrument industry
Currently, China has become a major producer and market for laser beauty instruments in the world. Domestic manufacturers can now produce IPL/E-light beauty instruments, YAG (1064nm) laser skin beauty instruments, RF radiofrequency beauty instruments, CO2 laser beauty instruments for non-surgical, non-invasive procedures, and 808 semiconductor lasers, etc., which are used domestically and also exported overseas. The following is an analysis of the development trends of China's beauty instrument industry in 2016:
The beauty instrument industry enters the "fast lane" According to Frost & Sullivan's economic analysts, in the past few years, while many European and American countries experienced sluggish economic growth, the global medical beauty equipment market has maintained a growth trend. This is related to the rapid growth in demand for cosmetic surgery in emerging economies such as China, Brazil, and India. In addition, South Korea alone performs hundreds of thousands of cosmetic surgeries annually, and the number of people undergoing cosmetic surgeries in Singapore and Malaysia has also increased significantly. These factors have driven the related medical beauty equipment industry into the "fast lane."
With the market for medical beauty equipment nearing saturation in developed countries in Europe and America, the international medical equipment industry has high hopes for China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia. It is expected that in the next 3 years, beauty medical devices with strong sales growth potential include: various laser products, which will be the "backbone" of the medical beauty equipment market; various other beauty equipment for skin rejuvenation treatments; specialized injectors for injecting botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid, silicone, and collagen; liposuction machines; and photonic generators, etc. E-light and laser beauty instruments lead in sales In the medical beauty equipment market, the rise of E-light and laser beauty equipment has led the prosperity of the global skin beauty equipment market. E-light and laser beauty equipment is now increasingly used in skin beauty treatments, cosmetic surgery, scar and birthmark removal, and silicone breast augmentation surgeries. The United States, Europe, and Japan, which account for 63% of the global skin beauty market, are focusing on developing laser beauty equipment, and some developing countries also consider laser beauty equipment as a key area of development.
It is understood that low-power E-light and laser beauty instruments are the most commonly used instruments in skin beauty surgeries. It is estimated that in recent years, millions of E-light laser products for beauty surgeries are sold globally each year, such as E-light OPT skin care systems, three-in-one E-light systems, carbon dioxide lasers, ruby lasers, and newly developed 808 semiconductor lasers, etc. Data shows that China has become one of the world's major producers of various E-light and laser beauty instruments. In 2012, the sales of laser products in China exceeded 2 billion RMB for the first time.
