The surge of Indian hair transplant industry.

In recent years, India has witnessed a remarkable surge in becoming a prominent destination for hair transplant treatment in India, captivating individuals from around the globe seeking effective and affordable solutions. This evolution is not a coincidence but a result of various factors converging to make India a burgeoning hot spot for hair restoration. The hair transplant industry in India has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, with around 350,000 surgeries annually, making it a favoured destination for medical tourists. The Indian hair transplant market, estimated at USD 200 million in 2022, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 25% by 2029.

This comprehensive exploration aims to unravel the critical reasons behind India’s emergence as a leading hub for hair transplants, shedding light on affordability, skilled medical practitioners, cutting-edge technology, the country’s rich medical tourism infrastructure, and the distinctive contributions of DHI Medical Group, as the pioneer and leader in Hair Transplant industry in India.

Surge of India and its image

No longer is India seen as a land of snake charmers and a place infested with mosquitoes! As the fastest growing economy in the world, the country is today known for its world class infrastructure, industrious entrepreneurs, a land of start-ups, genius techies who have also captured the Silicon Valley! Similarly, Indian doctors have earned the reputation as most capable and hard-working doctors in countries like USA and US.  Today, the healthcare system in India, almost the most populous country in the world, is amongst the most reliable, attracting patients of all kinds to India.

The advent of social media has made it now possible to address the myths around India and its medical facilities through social media, positioning India as a frontrunner in reshaping the narrative around hair restoration.

Availability of skilled medical practitioners

In many developed countries like the USA, it is hard to get a slot for even emergency surgeries, for months.  This is due to non-availability of doctors, despite relatively small population in these countries.  Despite the massive population in India, there is a high availability of skilled doctors who are best in class.  DHI has amongst the best hair transplant surgeons in the world, having performed hundreds of procedures on patients of all kinds of ethnicities from around the world.

Patient Care Standards and Cost of Procedure

Contrary to earlier beliefs, Indian medical facilities offer high standards of patient care.  However, the same cannot be said of hundreds of mushrooming hair transplant centres, which one has to wary of.  Don’t make cost as the only reason for choosing a hair transplant in India, although the cost of a high-quality hair transplant procedure can be up to 40-50% cheaper than in US, Canada, UK, Singapore and Australia.  Like in Turkey, India also has cheap options, and it is also possible to do a hair transplant at one-tenth the price! But beware of the safety standards in such clinics.  Cost of the procedure is directly proportionate to the safety and quality of your procedure.

At DHI, every clinic follows world’s strictest safety protocols which are also accredited with United Kingdom’s Care Quality Commission and ISO.  Though prices at DHI India are remarkably cheaper than in the western world, most of the patients coming to DHI India from other countries choose it for much higher quality rather than just lower price.
