SBC Medical Group Holdings Inc. demonstrated strong financial performance in 2024, reporting a 6% revenue increase to $205 million and an 18% surge in net income to $47 million, despite a challenging competitive landscape in the aesthetic medical industry.
The company expanded its clinic network by 43 new locations in 2024, bringing its total to 251 clinics across Japan. Annual patient visits grew by 15%, with a customer repeat rate exceeding 70%. CEO Yoshiyuki Aikawa highlighted the company’s commitment to developing a robust franchising structure and exploring international expansion opportunities.
The global cosmetic surgery and procedure market, valued at $156.39 billion in 2024, is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 14.7% through 2030. SBC Medical is positioning itself strategically by addressing market challenges through multiple approaches, including making aesthetic medicine more accessible and differentiating its services through advanced treatments and competitive pricing.
The company is also exploring growth in emerging market segments, such as male aesthetic procedures, where customer growth is outpacing traditional female-focused services. Specifically, medical hair removal represents a potential growth area, with increasing male interest in aesthetic treatments.
With $125 million in cash reserves, SBC Medical is considering potential acquisitions in aesthetic medicine and adjacent healthcare fields. The company is targeting expansion into orthopedics, ophthalmology, fertility treatments, and hair loss interventions, with Wall Street firm Sidoti forecasting 10% year-over-year revenue growth to $223 million in 2026 and an anticipated clinic network of 300 locations.
SBC Medical’s strategic flexibility is evident in its evolving franchise model, which now offers more adaptable fee structures to support franchisee success, recognizing the challenges of establishing new clinics in a competitive market.
