Aesthetics, dermatology and lasers covers energy-based devices, fillers and skin treatment equipment sold mainly to clinics. Many products sit at the boundary between medical device and cosmetic, and classification varies by market. The segment is the smallest in the Index because registries tag it inconsistently.

An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
Who holds the registration in Germany
In the EU and EEA the manufacturer, or its EU authorised representative for manufacturers based outside the EU, registers in EUDAMED and holds the CE marking file. Importers and distributors register separately as economic operators and never own the registration, which is why EU channel changes are easier than elsewhere.
This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later. The Next 10 Markets report covers who holds the registration in each of your ten markets.
