Increasing obesity rates along with chronic diseases associated with obesity and growing awareness for early diagnosis is said to be responsible for driving an upswing in the global intragastric balloon market. Obesity is considered to be a primary risk factor for developing coronary heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and strokes. According to the World Health Organization, the global obese population has doubled since 1980, with the U.S. and Sub-Saharan countries holding the highest shares of obese individuals.
Over the years, the increasing adoption of minimally invasive techniques is also said to have expanded the intragastric balloon industry demand. These minimally invasive procedures are typically performed endoscopically then inflated with a saline solution or gas. The market is expected to show a significant growth rate of more than 9 percent in this area over the period of 2016-2024.
Dual balloon systems such as ReShape® are projected at more than 9.5 percent CAGR and are expected to exceed USD 85 million by 2024. The growing obese population coupled with rising incidents of diabetes and improved product design are all factors expected to help boost the intragastric balloon market demand over the forecast period.
