Tissue Expanders Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report, by Lesion Site, by Product Shape, by End User : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031

Tissue Expanders Market Statistics, 2031

The global tissue expanders market size was valued at $671.5 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $1,180.0 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2022 to 2031. Growth of the global tissue expanders market is majorly driven by rise in number of cosmetic surgeries and increase in awareness among people regarding cosmetic reconstructive surgeries. In addition, minimally invasive surgery is surgery done with the aid of a viewing scope and specially designed surgical instruments. The scope allows the surgeon to perform major surgery through several tiny openings without the need for a large incision. Reconstructive surgeries such as breast reconstruction, scalp reconstructive, oral, and maxillofacial reconstruction and others are minimally invasive surgeries. Rise in the adoption of minimally invasive surgeries is anticipated to drive the demand of tissue expanders. Thus, this factor is anticipated to boost the tissue expanders market growth. For instance, according to American Society of Plastic Surgery, in 2020, it was reported that, approximately 2,314,720 cosmetic procedures were performed in U.S.

Market Introduction and Definition

Tissue expanders are pre-shaped balloons made of silicon and filler materials that can be filled with saline using a valve system that is either built into the surface of the expander or remote and connected to the expander by a flexible silastic filling tube (nearly all expanders nowadays have a remote valve). The main benefit of the remote valve and filling tube is that it keeps the injection point far from the balloon, eliminating any potential hazards of balloon puncture during expander inflation. Remote positioning enables placing at a location beneath the skin where it can be felt readily.Tissue expanders and accessories are intended for temporary subcutaneous or submuscular implantation to develop surgical flaps or additional tissue coverage in a variety of surgical applications. Tissue expanders used in various anatomical locations such as breast, head, neck, calf, and others.

Market Dynamics

Increase in the prevalence of breast cancer is anticipated to drive the demand for tissue expanders. Thus, this factor is anticipated to drive the growth of tissue expander market. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women, and it necessitates mastectomy to remove malignant cells, resulting in an increase in the use of tissue expanders. In addition, tissue expanders are the most used model for filling breast implants, and with the rise in breast cancer surgeries, the market is expected to grow. For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020, there were 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer and 685 000 deaths globally. As of the end of 2020, there were 7.8 million women alive who were diagnosed with breast cancer in the past 5 years, making it the world’s most prevalent cancer.

In addition, according to Breast Cancer.ORG, in 2022, it was reported that, about 13% (about 1 in 8) of U.S. women are going to develop invasive breast cancer in the course of their life. In addition, in 2022, an estimated 287,850 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 51,400 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer. Thus, rise in prevalence of breast cancer among female population is anticipated to drive the demand mastectomy. Moreover, mastectomy is anticipated to boost the demand of tissue expanders for breast reconstruction. Therefore, this factor is anticipated to drive the growth of market.

Rise in the awareness among people regarding visual appearance and increase in demand for aesthetic procedure are anticipated to boost the adoption of minimally invasive surgeries. Thus, this factor is anticipated to fuel the demand for tissue expanders and is anticipated to drive the growth of market. Moreover, rise in awareness among people regarding scalp reconstruction, breast reconstruction, oral and maxillofacial reconstruction and scar repair is anticipated to drive the demand for tissue expanders and boost the market growth.

In addition, change in lifestyle, increase in incidence of burn injury, and rise in technological advancement for tissue expander are anticipated to drive the growth of market.

On the other hand, side effects associated with reconstructive surgeries is anticipated to hamper the growth of the tissue expanders market. For instance, side effects such as skin trauma, device malfunction leading to increased operative time, infection, adverse tissue reaction, pain or discomfort, and others are anticipated to hamper the growth of market. In addition, needle injection may lead to minor bruising, bleeding, or other injury to tissue. Inaccurate reading from port detector may lead to bleeding if injection made at wrong location. Inadequate device sterilization or packaging integrity may lead to infection that may lead to additional surgical procedures. Therefore, these factors are anticipated to have negative impact on the growth of market. In addition, high cost of cosmetic surgeries and devices are anticipated to hamper the growth of market.

The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a negative impact on growth of the global tissue expanders market. The COVID-19 pandemic has stressed healthcare systems in the world. Reconstructive and aesthetic procedures were profoundly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Several aesthetic clinics and hospitals were restructured to increase hospital capacities for patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Implementation of lockdown, owing to the COVID-19 outbreak resulted in decline in number of patient visits for aesthetic procedures during the pandemic. Tissue expansion are non-emergency procedures significantly hampered revenue of aesthetic companies. According to the European Journal of Plastic surgery, in June 2021, it was reported that the total number of surgeries decreased by 23.5% after the COVID-19 outbreak. Moreover, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2020, it was reported that the total number of breast augmentation procedures decreased by 33% from 2019 to 2020.
