IPL hair removal device and system market Report Overview

global IPL hair removal device and system market size was USD 325.6 million in 2021 and projected to touch USD 695.48 million by 2032 at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the IPL hair removal device and system market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a technology used by medical and clinical professionals to perform a variety of skin treatments for both cosmetic and therapeutic purposes, including hair removal, light exfoliation (for example, treatment of skin pigmentation, sun damage and varicose veins) and reduction of dermatological infections such as dermatitis. IPL can reduce hair growth most effectively on coarser and more discolored hair. Beat-light drugs are known by several names and devices, including E-Light, ELOS and M-Light. IPL should not be confused with hair removal, which is a different method that uses sensible monochromatic laser light.

Market growth is driven by increasing demand for home IPL hair removal systems and increasing awareness of the benefits of IPL hair removal systems over traditional methods such as shaving and waxing. The $201-$400 segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global market in 2018 due to its affordability and growing consumer demand across regions.

COVID-19 Impact: COVID-19 Outbreak Imposed Restrictions On Market Growth

The spread of COVID-19 has affected people and businesses around the world. Lockdowns were imposed around the world. When the restrictions were imposed, beauty clinics were closed and visit to dermatologists for hair treatment were limited. This made the epilator business difficult as people preferred other removal methods such as razors and creams. Consequently, the global hair removal market grew slowly during the pandemic. The outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to adversely affect the growth of the global hair removal market. Several clinics and hospitals have been rebuilt to increase hospital capacity for patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Non-essential surgical procedures have been canceled due to the pandemic. IPL hair removal procedures are non-emergency aesthetic procedures that have greatly hindered the revenue of aesthetic businesses. Furthermore, a sudden sharp drop in the monthly income of residents is expected to adversely affect the hair removal market.
