Bariatric surgery market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The market growth is attributed to an increasing number of obese patients globally and government support for managing obesity through campaigns and awareness programs. According to the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO), in 2023, 480,970 Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeries (MBS) were performed in 24 countries and from 2 regional registries representing 81.4% of known registries. The majority of patients with obesity who underwent metabolic bariatric procedures are female. The majority of primary operations recorded by all registries are sleeve gastrectomy.
Market Dynamics
Increasing Adoption of Minimally Invasive Techniques
With the rising number of bariatric surgeries performed annually, there has also been an increase in revisional bariatric surgeries (RBS). Minimally invasive techniques are also associated with lower complication rates in revisional procedures when compared to the conventional approach. To evaluate the safety and postoperative outcomes of RBS performed with a minimally invasive approach. In recent years, the utilization of the robotic platform significantly increased across specialties due to improved surgical ergonomics, 3-D magnification, elimination of physiologic tremors, and seven degrees of freedom of the instruments with improved dexterity. Additionally, concerns regarding the increased cost and longer operative time limited its widespread adoption in bariatric surgery.
Growing Surgical Procedures with Enhanced Recovery Protocols
Length of hospital stay (LOS) has been reduced by enhanced recovery after bariatric surgery protocol (ERABS) without affecting clinical outcomes. By saving operating room (OR) time, ERABS enhanced the logistical aspects of the OR. OR logistics were reorganized, and lean management techniques were applied to increase efficiency. While LOS and the rate of complications were reduced in many surgical specialties as a result of the ERAS procedure, the researcher discovered that in bariatric surgery, only LOS was impacted. This effect was noted irrespective of the type of surgery. The reduction in LOS in the case of ERAS routes in bariatric surgery may be attributable to well-defined discharge criteria, which may lessen the possibility of patients remaining longer than necessary.
Market Segmentation
Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery is Projected to Hold the Largest Segment
The primary factors supporting the growth include increased rates of obesity, a growing need for less invasive surgery, and improvements in surgical instrument technology. Together, these elements enhance surgical results and patient satisfaction that support market expansion. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), in September 2023, obesity is a rapidly growing epidemic, affecting over 650 million people globally. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) remains one of the most effective treatments for obesity, with sleeve gastrectomy (SG) being the most commonly performed bariatric procedure globally. The rates of revisional procedures after SG were reported to reach up to 12.2% at 10 years follow-up.
Regional Outlook
Global bariatric surgery market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (the UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Growing Demand for Bariatric Surgery in Asia-Pacific
Global Bariatric Surgery Market Growth by Region 2024-2031
North America Holds Major Market Share
North America holds a significant share owing to the presence of bariatric surgery providers such as Gelesis, Inc., Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc., USGI Medical, Inc., and W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. in the region. The market growth is attributed to the growing number of bariatric procedures, rising rates of obesity and diabetes, and an increase in the demand for metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) are some of the factors contributing to this trend. According to the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, 2022, there was a 6.5% increase in bariatric surgery volume from 2021 to 2022. Sleeve gastrectomy continues to be the most dominant bariatric procedure. Compared with 2021, the total number of Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) performed in 2022 increased from approximately 262,893 to 280,000. The sleeve gastrectomy (SG) continues to be the most commonly performed procedure.
