Growing Applications of Gastric Balloon in Healthcare to Drive Gastric Balloon in Healthcare Market Growth

Obesity rates have been increasing rapidly across the globe at a rapid rate. Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has been accumulated in the body and can be a leading factor for various other medical conditions. People are generally considered obese when their body mass index (BMI) is above 30 kg/m2. Factors such as, excessive food intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility are considered to be the major contributors towards the rise in cases of obesity. A few cases are caused due to genes, endocrine disorders, medications, or mental disorder.

Obesity has been spreading at an epidemic rate during the recent years, specifically in the urban areas of the developed nations. As per estimates made by the WHO, during 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults, aged 18 years and older, were overweight. Of these over 650 million were obse. Also, an estimated 41 million children under the age of 5 years were overweight or obese. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents aged 5-19 has witnessed a dramatic from a minimal 4% in 1975 to above 18% in 2016. At present, obesity rates are significantly high in the United States, Mexico, New Zealand and Hungary, while they are lowest in Japan and Korea. Whereas, during the future years, obesity rates in countries such as Korea and Switzerland are anticipated to increase at the fastest rate.

Gastric balloons are implanted into the body through endoscopy and offers a weight loss upto 7 to 8 pounds. The Orbera gastric balloon offers a weight loss of 7 pounds on average. Whereas, the Obalon gastric balloon offers an average of 7.4 pounds or 3.42 percent of their total body weight. The benefits offered by gastric balloon along with prevalence of obesity worldwide is anticipated to fuel the growth of the gastric balloons market during the forecast period.

Minimally invasive surgeries are being performed widely during the recent years. There has been a rise in the number of people opting for minimally invasive surgeries. Unlike traditional surgical procedures, a minimally invasive surgery requires only a small incision to be made. Since these incisions are tiny, the patient recovers at a faster rate comparatively, with less discomfort. Some of the benefits of a minimally invasive surgery include, few small cuts, less trauma to the muscles, nerves and tissues, less bleeding & scarring, less trauma to organs, less pain and reduced use of narcotics, less hospital time, and less effect on the immune system.

The endoscopic intragastric balloon treatment is a non-surgical method to help lose weight in patients who suffer from obesity or morbid obesity. It is an endoscopic procedure, in which a balloon is inserted in the stomach, which occupies about half of the stomach’s space. The balloon remains in the stomach for a maximum of six months and it is meant to increase the feeling of satiety and limit food intake. 

Since it does not require surgery, the procedure is conducted in an out-patient setting. Another main advantage is that the device helps avoid the risks associated with a surgical procedure and patients may be more comfortable with a non-surgical and non-pharmacological approach.

Endoscopy offers ease in the placement as well as the removal of a gastric balloon, along with limited complications due to the non-surgical nature of the procedure. Also, the absence of incisions unlike other weight loss surgeries is expected to fuel the growth of the market in the future years.
