Market Trends of Breast Reconstruction Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Breast Reconstruction Market according to our research experts:
Breast Implants Holds the Largest Share in the Breast Reconstruction Market Over the Forecast Period
The usage of breast implants in breast reconstruction surgeries accounted for a significant share of the global market, and this is expected to remain a prominent trend in the breast reconstruction market in the forecast period.
Increasing awareness and inclination among women across the world toward breast augmentation and reconstruction procedures for beauty enhancement is another factor expected to boost the growth of the market studied. According to the 2020 International Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ISAPS) statistics, there were about 193,073 breast augmentation procedures in the United States in 2020, which was more than any other performed aesthetic surgery.
The market players in the area are continuously working toward better and more efficient solutions and evolving the life of available products through new product launches, collaborations, and mergers and acquisitions, which will also complement the growth of the breast implant segment. For instance, in May 2021, GC Aesthetics Inc. launched a next-generation breast implant called PERLE, a smooth breast implant with a proprietary surface technology called BioQ.
Thus, considering all the above-mentioned factors, such as increasing awareness and inclination among women worldwide toward breast augmentation and reconstruction procedures and new product launches, the segment studied is expected to witness high growth over the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Dominate the Market Over the Forecast Period
North America is expected to dominate the market studied during the forecast period due to the high incidence of breast cancer, increasing breast augmentation procedures, and established healthcare infrastructure.
For instance, according to the 2020 report of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation was one of the top five cosmetic surgical procedures in 2020 in the United States. The increasing prevalence of breast cancer in this region is anticipated to boost the growth of the breast implant market in the region. According to the GLOBOCAN 2020 report, the new breast cancer cases in the United States, Canada, and Mexico were 253,465, 28,026, and 29,929, respectively, in 2020. Therefore, North America is expected to hold a significant market share in the breast implant market during the forecast period. Beneficial government initiatives and increased research partnerships are expected to drive the market's growth.
The rising product approvals are expected to contribute to the growth of the market in this region. For instance, in March 2022, Sientra Inc. received approval from Health Canada to market the company's line of smooth surface, High-Strength Cohesive (HSC and HSC+) silicone gel breast implants in Canada. The rising prevalence of breast cancer and the increasing focus of market players in this region are expected to boost the growth of the breast reconstruction market in North America.
