Insight by Scar Type
The atrophic scars segment is the leading segment in revenue generation in 2020 and is expected to dominate the treatment market over the coming years. Owing to the rising occurrence of acne scars, they are commonly cured by using gels and creams. These scars are generally caused by the fat and muscle loss from the individual’s body above the injured area. It is usually created when the skin makes inadequate collagen to repair the infection spot.
The treatments opted for these scars encourage the skin’s natural healing process to restore collagen, elastin, and other fibrous tissues. This allows the surface of the healed wound to develop around the contiguous area and reduces the visibility of marks. Accordingly, increasing market demand for aesthetic appeal fuels the need for topical products; this, in turn, leads to the dominance of the segment across the globe.
The hypertrophic & keloid scars segment is estimated to show substantial growth over the forecast period due to the rising incidences of wound injuries among the large group population. This hypertrophic scar is a thick elevated scar that is an unusual response to wound curative.
A keloid is caused by the overindulgence of a protein (collagen) in the skin during healing. They usually take place in stiff skin areas, subsequent surgical incisions, burns, or skin trauma. Thus, laser therapy for treating these marks is mainly preferred, and adoptions of silicone sheets are growing for healing hypertrophic & keloid marks. Hence, these factors exhibit segment growth over the forecast period.
Insight by End-Use

In addition, hospitals have a collection of technically advanced procedures and upgraded equipment for better patient care. The adoption of non-invasive procedures such as silicone sheets, creams, gels, and laser therapy is generally carried out at hospitals. Therefore, these various advantages offered by the hospitals largely contribute to segment growth.
