Market Definition
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) also called hyaluronan, is an anionic, non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan distributed widely throughout connective, epithelial, and neural tissues. An essential component of articular cartilage, hyaluronic acid surrounds each cell in the cartilage like a coat (chondrocyte). The robustness of cartilage is due to these aggregates' ingestion of water (its resistance to compression). The molecular weight (size) of hyaluronan in cartilage decreases with age, but the amount increases. The human body naturally contains HA. The largest quantities of HA are seen in the joints and eyes. The chemical has the capacity to maintain luscious, moisturized skin. As a result, it is used by many cosmetic surgeons as an injectable to delay the signs of aging on the skin.
The increasing prevalence of minimally invasive procedures and rising awareness and demand for hyaluronic acid in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products across the globe are major driving factors for market growth in the forecast period. The dramatic rise in the quality of research coupled with increasing research opportunities is because of various strategic initiatives taken by the market players. They are taking initiatives such as product launches, collaborations, mergers, acquisitions, and many more over the years and are expected to lead and create more opportunities in the market.
Middle East and Africa Hyaluronic Acid Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
DRIVERS
- Increasing Awareness Towards Cosmetic Injectables or Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers are the less invasive cosmetic processes. Dermatology problems are common across the globe. It has become a major concern to understand the products to treat skin-related problems and restore skin wrinkles. Various programs have been launched to create awareness about the proper use of hyaluronic acid injectables.
The increased consciousness will enable the consumers to opt for the correct treatment of acne and wrinkles and to select the right product (Botox injection, dermal fillers) as per the correct cause. This will lead to a rise in sales, a rise in the product portfolio, and an expansion of the product line. This factor is expected to propel the market growth.
- Use of Invasive Hyaluronic Acid Based Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers are less invasive cosmetic processes, which are promptly increasing across the globe. These are popular cosmetic procedures for facial renovation, face volume restoration, and aesthetic improvement.
They are quite versatile and they are used on fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, these are also used for treating acne, wrinkles, and scars and for lip, cheek, and chin augmentation. The rise in the geriatric population has uplifted the necessity of non-invasive surgical protocols.
The implementation of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers will reduce the chances to opt for normal surgery. There is a minimum cost of treatment and this factor will boost the market growth.
RESTRAINTS
- Availability of Unauthorized or Alternative Dermal Fillers to Hamper Market
With the widespread accessibility of the aesthetic application of Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, several limiting factors of these products are projected to hamper the Middle East and Africa market growth in the coming years.
Due to the high efficacy rate, patient satisfaction, and usage in dynamic wrinkles, botulinum toxin type, a dermal filler, is leading the non-surgical cosmetic procedure worldwide.
Furthermore, other biodegradable fillers, such as Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) and Poly-L-Latic acid are gaining popularity as alternative fillers used as implants with high longevity.
The reluctance among physicians has been observed to use low-cost illegal products, due to the risks involved in it. Conversely, the illegal products being available in the dermal filler segment will increase the competition in price, especially in the hyaluronic acid segment. Larger companies that provide high prices per unit have the ability to compete by offering multiple product bundles and selling products among various product divisions.
To compensate for fewer prices in hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, the particle and polymer manufacturers will have to promote the products. The products available in the segment vary. The manufacturers will focus more on the material strength used in dermal fillers, rather than on the cost price.
OPPORTUNITIES
- New Technology and Developments in Hyaluronic Acid Products
Advanced innovative technologies have improved aesthetic treatment for skin and other body parts wherever necessary and the skincare industry is one of the most rapidly changing ones. Homegrown brands with actives, ingredient-based skincare, and the beauty space are witnessing the rise of investment, and the consumer is keenly involved. The advanced innovative technology and developments of hyaluronic acid-based products boost the demand for hyaluronic acid in the market.
Hyaluronic dermal products are based on hyaluronic acid that corrects facial imperfections, compensates for volume, and emphasizes certain areas of the face. Advancement in dermal products offers an effective way to enhance, restore, and define facial features. Advancement in hyaluronic acid-based products and procedure of dermal fillers attracts customers toward cosmetics. Thus, it signifies that technological advancement in hyaluronic dermal products is expected to act as an opportunity for market growth.
CHALLENGES
- Escalating Product Recall
The recall of Hyaluronic acid-based products has greatly impacted the market growth. Regulatory authorities recall aesthetic and cosmetic products due to health and safety issues. Every country has its own regulatory authority which is responsible for monitoring the regulation of healthcare-related products.
Product recall by the companies or by the regulatory authorities for patient health safety concerns such as the inaccuracy of content or ingredient error are a few of the major concerns that act as a challenge to market growth as the patient’s safety and health are the most important criteria for any market introducing their products in the market.
