Evolving Considerations for Segmenting Aesthetic Practices

Evolving Considerations for Segmenting Aesthetic Practices

The global aesthetics market for product sales has more than doubled in the past 10 years, from $6B[1] to $12.5B[2]. Simultaneously, the number of US aesthetics practices has exploded to exceed 40,000[3] today.  Kx Advisors has worked across many of the drivers behind this growth, including novel treatment & service offerings (e.g., non-invasive fat reduction, RF microneedling), broader consumer activation & demand (e.g., millennials, beautification in a virtual age), and strong consumer pricing power.

As US aesthetic practices grow, so does their diversity in service offerings and business models. Manufacturers’ ‘old school’ segmentation approaches for their customers included core vs. non-core, practice type & size, and location. But these elements no longer tell the full story, as competition between practices increases and their mix of treatments & consumer engagement tactics continue to evolve.
