The growing demand for aesthetic procedures is anticipated to drive the expansion of the botulinum toxin market in the coming years. Aesthetic procedures encompass various cosmetic treatments and interventions aimed at enhancing or improving an individual's appearance, which can be either surgical or non-surgical. Botulinum toxin is utilized in these procedures to relax targeted muscles and diminish the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines. For example, in August 2024, the US National Library of Medicine (NLM), the largest medical library in the United States, predicted a 3.4% global increase for 2023, with 34.9 million cosmetic surgeries and nonsurgical procedures performed by plastic surgeons, according to the latest projections. More than 19.1 million nonsurgical procedures and over 15.8 million surgical operations were conducted worldwide. Aesthetic procedures have seen a gradual rise over the past decade, with a notable acceleration since 2021. In the last four years alone, there has been a 40% increase in the total number of procedures. Therefore, the botulinum toxin market is experiencing growth due to the heightened demand for cosmetic operations.
The burgeoning global aging population is anticipated to propel the expansion of the botulinum toxin market in the coming years. The term 'aging population' refers to a demographic shift characterized by a growing proportion of elderly individuals within a society. Botulinum toxin stands out as a popular and minimally invasive solution widely embraced by the aging population to address wrinkles and fine lines, offering a non-surgical avenue to enhance facial aesthetics and attain a more youthful appearance. As reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2022, the worldwide population aged 60 years and older is on a rapid growth trajectory, projected to double by 2050, reaching an estimated 2.1 billion individuals. This demographic shift towards an increasingly elderly population significantly contributes to the rising demand for botulinum toxin procedures, thereby propelling the growth of the botulinum toxin market.
Product innovation stands out as a prominent trend driving advancements in the botulinum toxin market, with companies actively pursuing innovative solutions to maintain their market positions. An illustration of this trend is evident in the developments by Evolus Inc., a US-based medical aesthetics company, which obtained approval from the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in January 2023 for Nuceiva (prabotulinumtoxin A) in Australia. Nuceiva, containing botulinum toxin type A, is specifically designed for aesthetic purposes, aimed at temporarily enhancing the appearance of moderate glabellar lines in adult patients. The product functions by interrupting nerve impulses within facial muscles, inducing relaxation, and effectively smoothing wrinkles resulting from facial expressions such as squinting and frowning.
Leading companies in the botulinum toxin market are concentrating on creating innovative solutions, such as indigenous botulinum toxin injections, to enhance treatment efficacy, minimize side effects, and meet the increasing demand for both aesthetic and therapeutic applications. Indigenous botulinum toxin injection refers to formulations of botulinum toxin that are developed and manufactured locally, rather than being imported from international suppliers. For example, in December 2022, Gufic Biosciences, an India-based pharmaceutical company, launched Zarbot, which is India's first indigenous botulinum toxin injection (Botulinum Toxin Type A), in collaboration with US-based Prime Bio. Zarbot utilizes a purified HALL strain and a specialized formulation that improves stability, allowing for extended storage. It is designed to treat various neurological conditions and meets European and British pharmacopeial standards, ensuring its biological potency is comparable to that of international brands.
In August 2024, Crown Laboratories, Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical firm, acquired Revance Therapeutics, Inc., for $924 million. This acquisition aims to establish a leading global entity in the aesthetics and skincare sector by merging innovative products like Daxxify, thereby enhancing product offerings, accelerating growth, and expanding the provider network for both companies. Revance Therapeutics Inc. is a biotechnology company that provides a botulinum toxin product called DaxibotulinumtoxinA (DAXI).
