The gel implants market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The gel implants market has experienced strong growth in recent years. It will grow from $1.32 billion in 2024 to $1.4 billion in 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%.
The historical growth is attributed to increased aesthetic awareness, rising breast cancer prevalence, the growing number of plastic surgeons, the rise of minimally invasive surgery, and expanded insurance coverage.
The gel implants market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The gel implants market is expected to grow to $1.73 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 5.5%.
Growth is attributed to increasing demand for aesthetic enhancements, rising awareness of gel implants' benefits, higher disposable incomes, growing investments in cosmetic surgery research, and the rise of global medical tourism. Key trends include technological advancements, minimally invasive techniques, fat grafting, 3D printing technology, and gender affirmation surgeries.
The rising prevalence of breast cancer is expected to fuel the growth of the gel implant market. Breast cancer, which develops in the breast cells, is becoming more common due to increased awareness, lifestyle changes, and the aging population. Mastectomy patients often require breast reconstruction using gel implants to restore volume and shape. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 272,454 new breast cancer cases in the U.S. in 2021. This growing prevalence is supporting the gel implant market.
