Obesity is a chronic disease that continues to be highly prevalent, representing a global public health problem. As reported by the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2016, 39% of the adult world population were overweight, while 11% of men and 15% of women were obese. These data are of concern since obesity is a risk factor for the development of several chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, obstructive sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, and cancer. Many studies have shown that obesity is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality. Therefore, a high body mass index (BMI) can be considered a predictor of overall mortality with a reduction in survival as the index increases.
The global intragastric balloon market is categorized based on product, filling material and end-use.
By product: The single intragastric balloon dominated the market in 2020 due to enhanced product design and accessibility to huge number of products in the market while, triple intragastric balloons market will grow at a highest CAGR through the forecast timeframe.
By filling material: The saline-filled intragastric systems held the largest market share in 2020 due to high product obtainability and substantial weight loss made by these intragastric systems.
By end-use: In 2020, hospitals accounted for the largest share of the global intragastric balloon market owing to availability of trained professionals and the existence of sophisticated apparatus in hospital settings. However, ambulatory surgical centers are predicted to observer noteworthy growth over the forecast period
North America dominated the market for intragastric balloon in 2020. More than two-thirds of adult Americans are overweight or obese, and 1 in 20 have extreme obesity that is defined by a body mass index (BMI) > 40 kg/m2. However, <200,000 bariatric surgeries are performed in the United States annually despite a potential population numbering in the tens of millions. Because lifestyle and pharmacologic approaches are largely ineffective as stand-alone interventions, there is a pressing need for alternative, nonsurgical obesity therapies. Intragastric balloons placed and removed via upper endoscopy have been available in one form or another for three decades. Their initial stint in the United States was short lived; their popularity diminished owing to modest short-term outcomes, substantial side effects, and a few major complications. However, the US Food and Drug Administration has recently approved 2 intragastric balloons.
