What is Driving the Demand of the Gel Implants Market?

The main factors driving the growth of the gel implants market include the increased focus on physical appearance and the increasing availability of inexpensive silicone cohesive breast implants. In addition, the increasing prevalence of breast cancer and the availability of a wide range of breast implants are driving the growth of the market.

For instance, according to the America Society of Plastic Surgeons, it was estimated that approximately 1,93,073 breast augmentation surgeries were performed in 2020.

Silicone gel implants were highly preferred by all the women seeking breast augmentation surgeries since they have higher quality in terms of appearance and firmness as compared to saline ones. Thus, the increased preference of the target population is expected to increase the demand during the forecast period.

Breast augmentations are becoming increasingly popular in emerging markets. The main reasons for this are increased economic prosperity and disposable income amongst the working population, increased influence of the cosmetic and fashion industry, increased people's awareness of the latest products and processes, and low business start-up costs.

The growing prevalence of breast cancer is another key driver that is anticipated to propel the growth of the gel implants market. According to WHO, in the year 2020, the number of diagnosed cases of breast cancer were a staggering 2.3 million, and around 685,000 deaths occurred due to breast cancer, globally.

The increasing prevalence of breast cancer has led to an increase in the number of women undergoing breast mastectomy, that is, breast augmentation. Surgical removal of one or both breasts, leading to more women undergoing breast augmentation. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, approximately 36,367 women underwent breast augmentation surgeries as a preventative measure against breast cancer. Increased awareness amongst women about preventative procedures against cancer is another key driver of the gel implants market.

They have developed an in-house printer Silimax P250, from scratch to cater to the women who have to undergo mastectomy either due to suffering from breast cancer or as a preventative measure. The company wants to ensure the “one-to-one personalization” for all the women since every women’s body is different in structure, size, and shape so that they can provide the implant which is closest to its natural counterpart.

U.S. and Canada Gel Implants Demand Outlook
