The hair transplant market

The potential hair transplant market gross value in 2004 was $84 million in the USA alone. This could be extrapolated to other countries/regions. Population of USA is 295 million (= $84 million market). Canada is 30 million (= $8.5 million market). Population of the European Union is 459 million so in theory the potential market value in Europe is $130 million. Combined North America/EU = $222.5 million? Add in the rest of the world and you are probably looking at a worldwide hair transplant industry market of $250 million a year! Quite encouraging!

The figures obtained by American Society for Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery in a survey conducted on numbers of hair transplant surgeries in the USA from 2000-2004 are as follows:

The drop in numbers of surgeries since 2000 is partly because the hair transplant sessions are now much bigger than before (more grafts implant per session) so fewer individual sessions are needed per person. And because of these mega-sessions, the cost of hair transplant surgery per session has gone up.

We hope the analysis and facts presented here would definitely help you to make up your mind. For the skills of a hair transplant surgeon and time and efforts that he puts for you, it is an affordable hair transplant at any cost! If you still have doubts, they are likely to be cleared once you have a counseling session at a hair restoration center.
