Scar massage silicone is a medical-grade silicone product designed to improve the appearance and texture of scars. Available in forms such as sheets, gels, or strips, it helps hydrate scar tissue, protect against infection, and apply gentle pressure. This process balances collagen levels, reduces redness and irritation, and gradually enhances the smoothness and overall appearance of scars.
The primary product categories of scar massage silicone include sheets, gels, rollers, pads, and others. Sheets are thin, flexible layers made from medical-grade silicone gel that adhere directly to the skin to form a protective barrier over scars. These products are distributed through online stores, pharmacies, specialty stores, and other channels. Applications include post-surgical scars, burn scars, traumatic scars, keloid or hypertrophic scars, and related conditions. End users include hospitals and clinics, homecare settings, dermatology centers, and other healthcare facilities.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers' margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.

The scar massage silicone market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.13 billion in 2024 to $1.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth during the historic period was driven by increasing awareness of post-surgical scar management, rising incidence of surgeries and traumatic injuries, growing demand for non-invasive cosmetic treatments, expansion of dermatology and wound care services, higher disposable income and aesthetic awareness, and broader adoption of home-based scar treatment solutions.
The scar massage silicone market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.81 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth during the forecast period is expected to be supported by rising awareness of post-surgical and burn scar management, stronger preference for non-invasive cosmetic treatments, increasing demand for home-based scar care solutions, expansion of medical and dermatology clinics, and higher disposable income in emerging markets. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period include the development of hypoallergenic and medical-grade formulations, integration with wearable and smart devices, enhanced skin adhesion and flexibility, introduction of multifunctional scar care products combining hydration and UV protection, and the adoption of eco-friendly and sustainable materials.
The rise in the number of surgeries is expected to drive the expansion of the scar massage silicone market in the future. Surgery involves medical procedures where doctors use tools to treat injuries, illnesses, or conditions by making incisions or repairing internal tissues and organs. The increase in surgeries is attributed to the growing incidence of chronic diseases that often require surgical intervention. Scar massage silicones are used after surgery to form a protective layer that moisturizes the skin and helps to flatten, soften, and lessen the visibility of scars formed after surgery. For example, in April 2025, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a government organization based in Australia, reported that during 2023 to 2024, public hospitals recorded 778,500 admissions from elective surgery waitlists, showing a 5.8 percent increase compared to 735,500 admissions in 2022 to 2023. Therefore, the growing number of surgeries is propelling the scar massage silicone market's growth.
Leading companies in the scar massage silicone market are emphasizing the development of advanced multifunctional formulations that combine well-established scar-healing ingredients with additional protective properties such as ultraviolet protection to improve effectiveness in enhancing scar appearance and skin health. Scar photoaging defense cream is a specialized topical product created to shield scar tissue from ultraviolet damage and environmental aging, while also promoting skin hydration and improving scar appearance. For instance, in January 2023, Skinuva, a health and personal care products manufacturer based in the United States, introduced Skinuva Scar plus SPF, a physician-developed scar photoaging defense cream that merges the known benefits of Skinuva scar with added non-nano zinc oxide for broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection. It is designed for areas exposed to the sun including the face, neck, and hands, helping to improve scar appearance by reducing redness and hyperpigmentation while preventing sun-induced darkening. Key components include synthetic growth factors, silicone, hyaluronic acid, Centella Asiatica, aloe vera, and vitamin C.
In March 2022, Alliance Pharmaceuticals plc, a health and personal care products manufacturer based in the United Kingdom, acquired the ScarAway brand in the United States along with U.S. rights to Kelo-cote for $19.4 million. This acquisition enables Alliance to increase its presence in the U.S. scar treatment market, implement a dual-brand strategy, and utilize its existing U.S. infrastructure to foster growth in silicone-based scar therapy. ScarAway is a wellness company based in the United States specializing in silicone-based scar treatment products.
