Cosmetic Surgery and Procedures Market Increasing in Asia-Pacific

The Asia Pacific takes on aesthetics industry and non-intrusive surgery. The inaugural AnEW (Anti-aging, (a)Esthetics and Wellness) conference and exhibition is part of SingEx Exhibition’s Healthcare series of events and is to be held at MAX Atria at Singapore EXPO on 6th and 7th March 2018. // The trade show, which is anchored on the understanding of facial anatomy as well as complications stemming from non-compliant practices, will be jointly held with the exclusive Asian Meeting of the Global Aesthetics Alliance (GAA) at the same venue.

Over 800 regional and local plastic surgeons, dermatologists, aesthetic procedure practitioners, business owners and academia will convene in Singapore to forward the region’s non-intrusive surgery/aesthetic procedure industry and foster stronger cooperation among practitioners in the Asia Pacific region.

Asia-Pacific drives Global Growth in Cosmetic Surgery and Procedures Market

  The plastic surgery and aesthetics procedures industry in Asia Pacific has shown immense potential, with experts predicting the region experiencing a CAGR growth of around 6.05% from 2017 to 2026.

  Despite the boom in popularity of invasive and non-invasive cosmetic procedures, the industry is saddled with unqualified practitioners and businesses offering non-compliant services, with Nigel Mercer, president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, once describing the industry as an "unregulated mess" during an interview with Clinical Risk.

High profile cases such as those involving model Solange Magnano and beauty clinic owner Jean Huang has served to outline very real risks involved in an unregulated industry.

  As consumers in Asia and the Pacific become increasingly educated and discerning, businesses committed to investment in research, technology and safety will reap the maximum benefits of a booming regional market.

  With this in mind, SingEx Exhibitions’ newly curated AnEW 2018 will serve to engage, edify and equip participants to penetrate the potential of the up and rising market in the Asia-Pacific region, capitalising on the heightened needs of consumers and the regional community’s thirst for an authoritative, thought-driving platform in enabling industry growth.

The event is perfect for regional participants to meet with their counterparts from other countries, exchange knowledge, discuss pertinent issues, share industry best practices and incubate fresh ideas by learning from international experts in the aesthetics field.

  “Asia has experienced exploding demand and is at the forefront of the aesthetics industry’s global expansion. With the increased prevalence of cosmetic procedures, however, it has become necessary for the industry to examine the role of clinical compliance and procedural safety, as well as ensure that practices are anchored in deep and sound anatomical understanding.” said Ian Wu, Cluster Director (Healthcare and Automotive & Commodities) of SingEx Exhibitions.

“The two-day event will move the industry forward by providing neutral content delivered through global subject matter experts at subsidised rates, providing a bridge to better patient outcomes. By developing, nurturing and harnessing knowledge-sharing platforms to cross-fertilise ideas, the industry can tackle pressing issues as a community.” Mr Wu continues.
