STRETCH MARKS TREATMENT MARKET ANALYSIS

Regional Analysis

Global Stretch Marks Treatment Market: Regional Insights

Based on geography, the global stretch marks treatment market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.

Among regions, North America is expected to gain highest share in the market over the forecast period due to the rising prevalence of obesity and increasing number of pregnancies in the region. For instance, stretch marks are fine lines in the skin that occur when the skin is stretched owing to rapid growth or weight gain. According to the Trust for America's Health (TFAH) report, State of Obesity 2022: Better Policies for a Healthier America, nationally, 41.9% of adults in the U.S. have obesity. Black adults had the highest level of adult obesity at 49.9%, Hispanic adults had an obesity rate of 45.6%, and White adults had an obesity rate of 41.4%.

Europe and Asia Pacific are also expected to witness significant growth in the global stretch marks treatment market due to the growing burden of obesity and increase in birth rate and concern about stretch marks in the region. For instance, the prevalence of obesity in Europe is higher than in any other part of the world except the Americas, according to the report by the European Congress on Obesity (May 2022). Across Europe, over 59% of adults are overweight or obese as well as 8% of children under five and one in three children of school age. This in turn is expected to increase the demand for stretch marks treatments in Europe.
