Market Trends of Italy Bariatric Surgery Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Italy Bariatric Surgery Market according to our research experts:
Closuring Devices are Expected to Show a Significant Growth During the Forecast Period
Closure devices are used in bariatric procedures for reconnecting tissues and for the closing of incisions which are made through trocars. The key contributing factor is the increasing burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. For instance, according to the International Diabetes Federation, in 2020 the prevalence of diabetes in adults was 3,669,400 in Italy. The sedentary lifestyle and physical inactivity have led to the increasing morbidity of various disorders.
Furthermore, the high prevalence of obesity is one of the major fuelling factors for market growth. For instance, the World Obesity Atlas 2022 estimated that from 2010 to 2030, the yearly growth in adult obesity is likely to be 1.4% in Italy. The same source stated that the yearly growth in child obesity is anticipated to be 1.6% from 2010 to 2030 in Italy. Since the use of bariatric procedures is likely to rise with an increase in the obese population, the growth rate of obesity is likely to favor market expansion. Increased research and development, surveys, and government initiatives in bariatric surgeries in Italy are likely to boost market growth over the forecast period. For instance, as per the article published in October 2021 under the title 'Italian Survey on Perception of Obesity and Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery: A Comparison between General Practitioners and Obese Patients', implementing patient and general practitioner (GP) awareness campaigns is now as important as providing structured obesity treatment programs. Furthermore, GPs are needed to be educated on bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS) which is regarded as a conventional obesity treatment choice in some instances. Such awareness provided through the articles are providing adequate advice to the practitioner regarding bariatric surgery and its benefit. When bariatric operations are conducted, the likelihood of using closure devices increases, resulting in market growth during the forecast period.
Therefore, the aforementioned factors are expected to fuel the market growth in this segment.
