Asia Pacific Breast Implants Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

The COVID-19 has affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand for drugs and vaccines, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, and others faced problems with regard to the transportation of drugs and vaccines from one place to another.

Quarantine, traveling constraints, and social distancing measures are likely to lead to a steep decline in business and consumer spending. Furthermore, healthcare providers were facing challenges in terms of additional manpower, equipment, consumables, and other resources, which were required to ensure safety in hospitals and provide treatment to patients with other diseases. This has impacted the overall healthcare sector negatively. Additionally, there were delays in hospitalization as the number of patient visits decreased, which is expected to affect the Asia Pacific breat implants market over the forecast period.

Asia Pacific Breast Implants Market  Segmentation:

The Asia Pacific breat implants market report is segmented into product type, shape, application and end user.

Based on Product Type, the market is segmented into Silicone Breast Implants and Saline Breast Implants. Out of which, the Silicone Breast Implants segment is expected to dominate the Asia Pacific breast implants market during the forecast period and this is attributed to an increasing adoption of inorganic growth strategies such as collaboration to initiate the research and development activities for evaluating the safety and efficacy of new silicone breast implants. For instance, in November 2022, Seoul National University Hospital, a chain of hospitals in South Korea, in collaboration with HansBiomed Co.,Ltd., biotechnology company, initiated a clinical trial study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of breast implants. The aim of the clinical trial study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Cohesive Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implant (CoSBI) produced by HansBiomed co.,Ltd. in breast reconstruction or augmentation. The study is estimated to get completed by November 2023.

Based on Shape, the market is segmented into Round Breast Implants and Anatomical Breast Implants. Out of which, the Round Breast Implants segment is expected to dominate the Asia Pacific breast implants market during the forecast period and this is attributed their efficiency to shift and rotate freely without disorting the shape of the breast. They are symmetrical in shape and eliminate any problem arising at the time of implant rotation. Moreover, round breast implants are touted to provide a rounder appearance and more lift to breast while visibly and significantly increasing their size.  Therefore, even physician and surgeons prefer round – shaped breast implants over anatomical breast implants.

However, anatomical – shaped breast implants have certain limitations. The anatomical – shaped breast implants tend to change the shape of the entire organ, during any rotation or shift of the implant, which could lead to an additional surgery for recorrection.

Based on Application, the market is segmented into cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery. Out of which, the cosmetic surgery segment is expected to dominate the Asia Pacific breast implants market during the forecast period and this is attributed to increasing focus on enhancing aesthetic appeal among women. In September 2020, according to the article published by the Springer Nature, it was estimated that several studies have demonstrated that breast implants can help in boosting self-esteem, body image, and sexual satisfaction. Majority of the women are conscious about physical appearance of their breast, which may lead to high demand for cosmetic surgery for breast augmentation.

For instance, in July 2021, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital, research center and hospital based in China initiated a clinical trial study for evaluation of safety and effeciacy of TiLOOP Bra mesh in patients with expander-implant breast reconstruction. The researchers contend that combining TiLOOP Bra mesh with tissue expanders will decrease capsular contraction rates, improve the efficacy of expansion, and produce more aesthetically pleasing results of the cosmetic surgery. The study is estimated to get completed by the November 2023.

Asia Pacific Breast Implants Market : Restraint

Product Recall by the regulatory authority

The government is taking action to reduce the adverse events associated with the breast implants and breast augmentation surgeries. For instance, in July 2019, according to the data published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, requested Allergan, a pharmaceutical company to recall its Biocell textured breast implants because they had been linked to Breast Implant Associated Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), or breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, a rare cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends women with BIA-ALCL to have their implants removed. Furthermore, in August 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reported that it had received 1,130 reports of BIA-ALCL, and 953 of those reports were related to Allergan implants. Moreover, in September 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration received additional reports of other types of cancer not related to BIA-ALCL found in scar tissue of smooth and textured implants. Thus, product recall by the regulatory authority is the major factor that can hamper the growth of the Asia Pacific breat implants market over the forecast period. The launch of breast implants made with the bioresorbable polymer can reduce the adverse events of Breast Implant Associated Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL).
