Over the years, the hair restoration services industry has been witnessing new trends and innovations, which have resulted in service being more lucrative and efficient. For instance, ARTAS robotic procedure is a new technology that is being developed with leading hair transplant physicians and researchers.

Hair cloning is another new procedure that has been gaining popularity in the hair restoration services market. Hair cloning is a cell therapy that creates an effective, minimally invasive hair growth method, which does not require maintenance post-surgery.
Furthermore, increase in celebrity influence and persistent self-consciousness about facial appearance, and societal influence to grow thicker hair are some the key factors that have led to increase in adoption of hair restoration services.

Among these, the follicular unit extraction segment garnered. 34.3% share of the market in 2018. This is attributed to the fact that follicular unit extraction is an advanced minimally invasive hair transplant method, which allows the harvesting of individual follicles from the back of the head, i.e., the donor area, ensuring no linear scar is left. The ideal candidates for FUE hair restoration surgery is someone who has high hair density in the donor area (back and side of the head). However, some of the key FUE service providers are strategizing on executing FUE without shaving off one’s head.

Follicular unit excision refers to an actual surgery in which hundreds of incisions are made and hair follicles are physically removed from the donor area of the scalp and inserted into the balding area. Thus, evolution in technology for FUE play a key role in hair restoration services market size.

Spain has the second highest number of bald men population, followed by Germany and France.
