France Bariatric Surgery Market Size (2024 - 2029)

France Bariatric Surgery Market Analysis

The French bariatric surgery market is expected to register a CAGR of 13.2% over the forecast period. 

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the market studied significantly. The global lockdown measures impacted the diagnostic and surgical industries, which have also decreased public mobility. Owing to the fear of the risk of contamination, several surgeries which were deemed non-urgent were postponed in France during the initial phase of the pandemic. The IFSO in April 2020 recommended that all elective surgical and endoscopic cases for metabolic and bariatric surgery should be postponed during the pandemic period. Thus, the bariatric surgery market was impacted severely during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with the restrictions lifted when the severity reduced, there was a resumption of bariatric surgeries in France. This considerably impacted the market growth. Hence, owing to the above-mentioned factors, the market studied is recovering from the damage caused by the pandemic and is expected to witness growth over the analysis period.

The key factors propelling the growth of the market studied are the increase in obese patients and the prevalence rate of type-2 diabetes and heart diseases.

Obesity is considered a metabolic dysfunction and is often associated with a wide range of chronic illnesses that create a major healthcare burden. The major diseases caused by obesity include hypertension, Type-2 diabetes dyslipidemia, and other diseases. Therefore, obesity is undoubtedly one of the most common causes of diabetes. As bariatric surgery is one of the most efficient methods to control both, the demand for surgery is increasing in France. For instance, according to an article published by C3 Collaborating for Health in July 2021, around 1 in 7 people in France were obese, accounting for 17% of the total population. More than 8.57 million people in the country were obese in 2020. Thus, the large population affected by obesity in the nation is expected to boost the demand for bariatric surgeries. This is further expected to contribute to the growth of the market studied.

In addition, new technologies in bariatric surgery and the growing demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures are expected to act as key drivers for market growth during the forecast period. Thus, bariatric procedures are expected to increase in France, which may accelerate the market studied. Therefore, owing to an increase in obesity among the target population and the emergence of new technology, among other factors, the market studied is anticipated to witness growth over the forecast period. However, the high cost of the surgeries is predicted to hinder the growth of the market studied.
