COVID-19 Analysis

The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic has affected people across the globe and resulted in the shutdown of operational facilities worldwide. The healthcare industry faced unprecedented encounters during the lockdown phase. The manufacturing units were shut down, affecting the production of medical products such as lotions, devices, and other equipment. Also, the supply chain of the medical products was affected that led to the increase in warehouse inventory of the manufactured products. Moreover, dermatologists with personal clinics were facing tough times due to the closure of operational facilities. Likewise, 62% of healthcare practitioners in the US faced salary issues during the outbreak. Meanwhile, a lot of new dermatologists lost their job during the crisis.

During the outbreak of the global pandemic, people with less or moderate cellulite problems adopted home remedies for their treatment rather than consulting doctors. Self-care during the lockdown phase augmented the sale of cellulite lotions for topical treatment. However, in case of emergencies, the hospitals were active and easily accessible to the patients. The patients who were obese and needed immediate attention were allowed to take medical services in hospitals. Furthermore, according to the government guidelines, the patient who required ambulatory care was advised to consult tele-platforms to avoid overcrowding in hospitals and avoid transmission of the coronavirus. In addition, people arefacing cellulite deposition due to long working hours during work from home tenure and will need medical attention in the future. This will drive the cellulite treatment market and is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the post-lockdown period.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Increasing number of obese cases across the globe

• According to WHO, the population with obesity has tripled since 1975. In 2016, the organization recorded that more than 1.9 billion adults were obese, among which 39% of the 18-year-old population were overweight, and 13% were obese. Additionally, in 2019, the association recorded 38 million children with obesity were under the age of five. Moreover, the adult population with an overweight medical condition has a body mass index of greater than or equal to 25, while the adult population with obesity record BMI greater than or equal to 30


• The young population ranging between 18 to 25 isprone to cellulite deposition owing to the high intake of energy-dense food that is rich in fat and sugars. Likewise, the people the age group from 25 to 35 are keen on career improvement; therefore, there is a high trend of consuming unhealthy food and sitting for long working hours coupled with minimal physical activities,which deposits the fat and tissues in the lower region of the body. Such a lifestyle is driving the cellulite treatment for fat and tissue depositions and is expected to fuel the market demand in the forecast period

A growing number of female employees in the metro cities coupled with rising demand for fit physique among the young female population

• Urbanization has led to the shifting of people from rural areas to metro cities. The large influx of femalepopulation in the metro cities due to employment is driving the cellulite treatment market. Young employees are more fitness conscious and demand a better physique to avoid any medical issues. However, due to work pressure, they have to spend more time in the office, making them prone to cellulite deposition. With disturbed work-life balance, these women prefer to take cellulite treatment at the clinics, hospitals, and ambulatory care units


• Among the female population, intake of unhealthy food accelerates the production and accumulation of cellulite in the lower and upper regions of the body. Likewise, mid-aged women are burdened with responsibilities and hence don’t have self-care time. During the lockdown phase, women had to take up personal and professional responsibilities at the same time. This created more pressure on the working female employees and decreased physical and mental health. Henceforth, post lockdown, cosmetic doctors and plastic surgeons stated an increase in bookings of invasive and non-invasive treatments. Moreover, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American population spends more than USD 16.6 Bn on cosmetic treatments. Females contribute a major share for the surgery of different body parts. Such a rise in cosmetic investments across the region has propelled the cellulite treatment market
