Market Forces
Breast Augmentation Market Drivers and Opportunities
Rising Demand for Cosmetic Procedures and Aesthetic Awareness
The breast augmentation industry is booming with globally driven cosmetic demand as a result of growing aesthetic awareness, evolving beauty conceptions, and the increase in disposable income. Cosmetic enhancements have now been largely popularised via social media, celebrities and lifestyle choices, leading many individuals to consider breast enlargement to help boost their self-esteem and body image. Alongside women gaining an interest in having cosmetic and reconstructive procedures carried out, this is because they want to not only look more aesthetically pleasing but also to regain the symmetry they had prior to having a mastectomy or due to a birth defect. Advances in technology for breast implants (including silicone, saline and "gummy bear" style implants), have led to a reduction in complications and improved safety, as well as provided women with more natural appearing results from cosmetic procedures. The use of minimally invasive surgical procedures, shorter recovery times and less scaring have encouraged women to have these procedures carried out. Patients also have access to excellent quality surgical care at lower rates due to the increase in medical tourism to parts of the world such as Asia Pacific and Latin America. Increasingly, health-care providers and cosmetic surgery facilities are providing their consumers with personalised consultations, preoperative imaging, and tailored treatment plans, which adds to women`s confidence. The combined effect of all these factors (increased aesthetic consciousness, advances in surgical features, and affordable healthcare access) are all supporting strong growth within the breast augmentation sector globally.
Expansion in Emerging Markets and Medical Tourism
The breast augmentation market opportunity is due to growing economies in developing regions and increased numbers of tourists heading for surgeries in other countries outside theirs. Countries like Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East have higher disposable income levels, better quality hospitals, and heightened awareness of plastic surgeries leading to rapid expansion of the breast augmentation industry. Changing views of women on cosmetic surgery have also contributed to the acceptance and use of breast augmentation operations by more urban women than ever before. Moreover, providing affordable and high quality surgical procedure options challenges the notion that only people from the United States and Europe can afford to have such surgeries performed on them. As a result, cites like Thailand, South Korea, India and Mexico are experiencing large increases in the amount of medical tourist activity being generated based on the number of hospitals and clinics that cater to both domestic and international patients. Additionally, medical device manufacturers, as well as hospitals and clinicians, are offering affordable and modern implant solutions; custom designed treatment plans, as well as utilizing less invasive surgical methods. The development of strategic relationships that implement technology transfers, training and interoperability between large-scale medical device manufacture firms and local hospitals or clinics plays a significant role in improving access to breast augmentation by increasing the environment for the delivery of multiple products. The opportunity for growth in the breast augmentation market will develop through economic expansion, the increasing availability of cross-border healthcare to end users, and the establishment of high numbers of medical tourists visiting developing economies.
