Market Trends of Germany Bariatric Surgery Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Germany Bariatric Surgery Market according to our research experts:
Closure Device is Expected to Register a High CAGR in the Bariatric Surgery Market Over the Forecast Period
Closure devices are used for reconnecting tissues during surgical procedures and for closing incisions made by trocars. The laparoscopic port closure device successfully and safely closes port sites in obese patients undergoing bariatric procedures and surgeries. The closure devices segment is expected to register high growth, as they are widely used in minimally invasive surgeries requiring immediate closure of very small incisions made during surgical procedures.
Closure devices are expected to witness significant growth because of the increased number of bariatric surgery and obesity-related cardiovascular surgical procedures performed in Germany. Obesity also contributes to cardiovascular risk factors, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep disorders.
The use of closure devices causes less pain and discomfort to patients compared to manual compression. These devices also stop bleeding quickly following a surgical procedure. Thus, the postoperative recovery is better, and the post-operative stay is minimised. According to the study published in Obesity Surgery in September 2021, in Germany, most participants (71.4%) predicted bariatric surgery to have the largest influence on their lives. Hence the number of surgical procedures is expected to increase in the country, thereby boosting the demand for closure devices.
Gastric Balloons is Expected to Hold a Significant Market Share Over the Forecast Period
The gastric balloon is a non-surgical endoscopic weight loss procedure that involves the placement of a saline or gas-filled balloon into the stomach to suppress appetite and drastically reduce food intake. In addition, the rising prevalence of obesity and increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries are actively affecting the growth of the studied segment.
Gastric balloon surgery is less intrusive than major surgery like gastric bypass. Gastric balloon operations are also less expensive than gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery. The gastric balloon may also aid in treating obesity-related health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure, making future gastric bypass surgery safer and more accessible.
The growing adoption of minimally invasive surgeries in the country is expected to boost segment growth over the forecast period. For instance, in May 2022, avateramedical GmbH, an innovative German medical technology company specializing in robot-assisted, minimally invasive surgery, has reported the successful completion of the first ten surgeries in humans with the avatera system. Thus, increasing adoption of minimally invasive surgeries in the country is expected to rise in demand for gastric balloons for weight management over the forecast period.
Moreover, according to the study published in Springer Link in March 2022, in super-obese individuals, a multi-stage treatment strategy with gastric balloon prior to bariatric surgery may be successful in facilitating safe surgery. Thus, the effectiveness of gastric balloons in weight loss is expected to rise in demand for the gastric balloon, thereby boosting the growth of the segment.
Thus, all above-mentioned factors such as benefits of the gastric balloon and safety and effectiveness of it is expected to boost the segment growth over the forecast period.
