Global Breast Implant Market to Perceive Widespread Growth with Rising Prevalence of Breast Cancer

One of the most common and trending cosmetic surgery today is the breast implant surgery. Women are becoming more aware of their body types as society continues to modernise. A decent figure is the most valuable jewellery that every woman aspires to have. A good bust boosts a woman's self-confidence. Breast implant surgery or breast augmentation surgery helps in boosting the appearance of the female breast.

A breast implant is composed of silicon shells that are either filled with sterile salt water (saline) or silicone gel. Breast implant surgery is intended for those females who want to improve their appearance and make themselves more beautiful. It refers to the body contouring process that results in an increase in the size of the female breast based on her desires. Breast implants are man-made objects that are surgically inserted into the breast during mammoplasty, a procedure for increasing the breast. Breast implantation is carried out for a number of reasons, including for women whose breast size has decreased owing to pregnancy, who has a mastectomy, whose breast is asymmetrical, aging, and weight loss. The global breast implant market is ageing at a rapid pace due to a growth in the female population’s demand for enhancing their visual appeal.

COVID-19 Impact on the Global Breast Implant Market

The unpredicted rise of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 has adversely impacted the global breast implant market. The pandemic's impacts are significantly experienced in the medical equipment sector, with both ups and downs. The key reasons behind this scenario are supply chain disruptions and the cancellation or postponement of elective surgery. The cosmetics sector has also been greatly affected by the pandemic. The growth in coronavirus patients is increasing the work for medical personnel. As a result, resources from all disciplines and departments, including ventilators, hospital beds, ICUs, and other medical equipment, were moved to the care of COVID-19 patients. The governments of many countries have postponed all elective and non-essential procedures. Cosmetic procedures like breast enlargement were cancelled or postponed as they come under the “non-essential" category of elective treatment. However, after the relaxation of the Covid-19 pandemic since the end of 2021, interest in and demand for breast implants has globally increased.
