KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The global intragastric balloon market size was valued at USD 39.2 million in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 44.5 million in 2023 to USD 110.9 million by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 13.9% during the forecast period.


An intragastric balloon placement is a non-surgical weight loss procedure and is considered safe and cost-effective compared to surgical procedures. The growing concern about obesity and the prevalence of the obese population across the globe is one of the predominant factors raising the demand for these balloons.



  • According to the 2022 data published by the World Health Organization, an estimated 1.00 billion people are obese worldwide.


Moreover, obesity increases the risk of developing a range of non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, hypertension, and various types of cancers. In order to mitigate the risk of these diseases, the governments of many nations are raising awareness among the population to manage obesity, which is likely to increase the adoption of these products in the coming years.


In addition, shifting preference among the target population toward effective, non-invasive or minimally invasive methods for obesity management and growing approval for these products are a few other factors supporting market growth.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Market Growth Declined Amid Pandemic Due to Reduced Patient Visits


The market observed a negative growth during the pandemic. A multitude of factors, such as the implementation of stringent lockdown, decrease in patient visits, decline in bariatric procedures, and temporary halt in elective surgeries amid the pandemic, impacted the market negatively.



  • For instance, according to an article published in the NCBI in 2022, there was a 14.8% decline in bariatric procedures in the U.S. in 2020 compared to the previous year.


The companies operating in the market also witnessed a decline in their revenues during the pandemic. One of the prominent players, Apollo Endosurgery, witnessed a decline of 12.2% in its revenue owing to a decrease in elective procedures and reduced patient access to treatments during the pandemic.


However, the market regained normalcy in post-pandemic due to ease in restrictions and the resumption of elective surgeries.


Intragastric Balloon Market Trends


Shifting Preference Toward Swallowable Gastric Balloon Capsules


The rising prevalence of obesity and related complications is facilitating the demand for less complicated procedures among the population for weight loss. In order to cater to the growing demand for a safe and effective weight loss treatment, the key manufacturers in the market are shifting their focus to introduce intragastric balloon capsules. These capsules can be administered orally without any endoscopic procedure, surgery, or anesthesia.



  • For instance, in September 2022, Allurion Technologies Inc. launched the swallowable gastric balloon in India.


Moreover, unlike other devices that are administered endoscopically, the capsule balloons do not require a removal procedure as the balloon deflates and passes out through the bowel after a few months. Thus, increasing patient preference for gastric balloon capsules and the launch of these products augment the growth of the market.

Intragastric Balloon Market Growth Factors


Growing Prevalence of Obesity Coupled with Increasing Complications Associated with Bariatric Surgery Augments the Demand


Obesity is one of the growing concerns across the globe, leading to various chronic disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, and others. Shifting preference for a sedentary lifestyle among the population living in developed and metropolitan areas, along with less physical activities, is leading to a high burden of obesity among the population in the world.



  • According to the 2022 World Obesity Atlas published by the World Obesity Federation, an estimated 1 billion people across the globe will be living with obesity by 2030.


In addition, the growing complications associated with bariatric surgeries, such as anastomotic obstruction, hernia, ulcers, strictures, leakages, and others, are raising the demand for safe and effective products among patients.



  • As per the 2021 data published by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, the risk of major complications associated with bariatric surgery is about 4.0%.


Thus, the rising burden of obesity, along with the increasing risk of complications associated with weight loss surgeries, is supporting the global market growth.


Rising Research & Development to Launch New Products to Augment Market Growth


The increasing prevalence of obesity across the globe is raising the demand for minimally invasive and effective procedures to reduce weight among patients. To cater to the propelling demand, scientists and manufacturers are investing extensively to launch new products in the market.



  • For instance, in April 2019, researchers from Nanyang Technological University and National University Hospital, Singapore, collaborated to develop a self-inflating weight loss balloon, Endopil. The product is anticipated to launch in Singapore in 2024.


Thus, increasing R&D initiatives to launch new products in the market is likely to fuel market growth in the upcoming years.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Growing Product Recalls May Hamper Brand Presence, Hindering Market Growth


Despite the increasing inclination toward intragastric balloons and the launch of new products, the rise in voluntary recalls of a few products due to various complications is limiting their adoption. This further leads to consumer preference for other alternative treatment products, thereby hampering the market growth.



  • For instance, in February 2019, the Endball – Systeme de Ballon Intra-gastrique and Reshape Medical Intragastric Balloon were no longer licensed for selling in Canada by the Government of Canada. The license for these two products was canceled due to the potential risk of gastric & esophageal perforation, acute pancreatitis, and spontaneous balloon overinflation associated with these balloons.


In addition, the high cost of intragastric balloon procedures in developing nations is restricting their access and adoption, thereby slowing the market growth.


Intragastric Balloon Market Segmentation Analysis


By Product Type Analysis


Single Segment Dominated Owing to Wide Availability


Based on product type, the market is categorized into single, dual, and triple.


The single segment held the largest share in 2022 due to the large availability of these products in the market. Furthermore, increasing approval of single balloons, and the rising adoption of these products are promoting segment growth.


The dual segment is anticipated to gain momentum in the upcoming years due to its increasing efficiency in weight loss compared to other products. According to a 2021 study published in the American Journal of Surgery, 31.6% of excess weight loss was due to dual intragastric balloon compared to other weight loss methods such as diet and exercise. Furthermore, dual balloons reduce the risk of movement and mimic the stomach's shape for improved weight loss.

The advancement in endoscopic technologies is improving the intragastric balloon procedure. In addition, endoscopic technologies are cost-effective and less invasive compared to bariatric surgeries, compelling companies to develop new endoscopy-based products.

The pill segment is anticipated to witness lucrative growth during the forecast period. The growing preference for non-invasive products, increasing number of research activities to develop new and advanced products, and rising investment by companies to develop and introduce pill-based balloons in new geographical areas are supporting the growth of the segment.



  • For instance, in 2020, Allurion Technologies, Inc. raised USD 34.0 million in a funding round led by Romulus Capital and Novalis LifeSciences. The company aimed to expand its international presence by using the fund.


By Filling Material Analysis


Saline-Filled Segment Dominated Due to Increase in Product Approvals


Based on filling material, the market is segmented into saline-filled and gas-filled.


The saline-filled segment accounted for a substantial share in 2022 owing to its wide availability, high efficiency, and growing adoption of these products among the patient population. Furthermore, players are seeking approval and launching new products in different countries to cater to the rising demand for these products. Thus, all the factors mentioned are propelling the segment’s growth.



  • For instance, in October 2022, Allurion received approval from the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) for its saline-filled product.


The gas-filled segment is anticipated to witness lucrative growth in the forthcoming years owing to its fewer side effects compared to the saline-filled balloons. In addition, companies are investing heavily to develop less harmful gas-filled balloons, augmenting segment growth.


By End-user Analysis


Hospitals & Clinics Segment Dominated Owing to Increase in Bariatric Procedures


Based on end-user, the global market is segmented into hospitals & clinics, outpatient surgical centers, and others.


The hospitals & clinics segment dominated the market in 2022. The dominance is attributed to the increasing patient preference to seek treatment from hospitals due to the various benefits offered by these healthcare settings. Furthermore, an increasing number of hospitals offering advanced bariatric procedures globally is also bolstering the segment growth.



  • For instance, in October 2023, NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue received the re-accreditation as the metabolic and bariatric surgery center.
