Medical devices called breast implants are placed beneath the breast muscle or tissue. Breast implants are used for breast augmentation as well as for breast reconstruction. There are two types of breast implants: silicone-filled implants and saline-filled implants. In addition to being utilised in cosmetic procedures, breast implants are also employed in the reconstruction of injured breast tissue. But after ten to fifteen years, breast implants need to be updated because they do not last a lifetime.
Europe Breast Implants Market Driving Factors and Challenges
One of the main drivers of the European breast implant industry is the rising incidence of breast cancer on that continent. Over 25% of cancer patients in the European region are female, making breast cancer the most common cancer among women, according to the World Health Organisation. In addition, the desire for more attractive breasts is another reason why a lot of women pursue breast implantation procedures. In the upcoming years, there will likely be an increase in demand for breast implants in Europe due to the growing desire to enhance breast size. Growing public knowledge of breast implant therapies is expected to present growth prospects over the projection period. Furthermore, as the public's perception of cosmetic surgery improves, the rate of adoption of breast implants is rising. Additionally, benefits including enhanced living quality, enhanced sexual and psychological well-being, and greater enjoyment from the appearance of the breasts should spur substantial future growth in the European breast implant industry.
However, it is projected that the development of alternative non-surgical methods as well as the clinical hazards and challenges associated with breast implantation operations will impede the market's expansion. Throughout the forecast period, societal and ethical concerns surrounding cosmetic surgery are likely to provide a challenge to the market for breast implants. The additional things impeding the growth of the breast implant market are the dangers and issues that come with the procedure, as well as the expensive cost of the implant. Furthermore, a lot of people have misconceptions regarding the risks associated with breast implants for women and post-surgical issues. Nonetheless, this limitation will help the worldwide breast implant business if it is overcome by raising women's understanding and dispelling their myths.
Impact of COVID-19 on Europe Breast Implants Market
The long-lasting effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have drastically and permanently changed the healthcare landscape, with breast implant services being most affected. Service providers are being hindered by the decreasing availability of essential diagnostics and screening programmes. The effects on cancer patients are particularly severe in the most impacted European countries—Spain, Italy, Germany, France, and the UK—and cause increased anxiety and psychological suffering. Faced with a sharp increase of Covid-19 cases, Italy has struggled to supply life-saving cancer medicines. The pandemic's lockdowns and limitations caused planned surgical procedures to be postponed or cancelled, which had a negative impact on the market for breast implants.
