MARKET DRIVERS

Rising Reconstructive Surgeries and Breast Cancer Cases

Tissue expanders are becoming more popular as aesthetic surgical procedures become more widely available. The expanding awareness of people's appearances, the rise in breast cancer diagnoses, and the greater use of reconstructive surgery contribute to the increase in surgical procedures. Scars and injuries from serious accidents almost always demand reconstructive surgery, which requires tissue expanders. In addition, people are increasingly opting for lumpectomy and mastectomy treatments because breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. One of the primary drivers of the tissue expander industry is this.

Since 2006, one of the top five cosmetic surgery operations in the United States has been breast reconstruction. Scalp reduction surgery and reconstruction of the face, neck, arms, and legs are some of the reconstructive techniques that use tissue expanders. As a result, demand for tissue expanders has increased as breast reconstruction procedures and other reconstruction surgeries have increased.

Though its use in breast reconstruction drives the market for tissue expanders, other cosmetic reconstructions such as scalp and forehead skin repair also expand their reach. These factors are predicted to drive the Middle East and Africa Tissue Expander market during the forecast period.

MARKET CHALLENGES

Long Treatment Duration and Patient Concerns

The extended time necessary for tissue expansion treatments and a lack of product availability in many emerging countries will hamper the market growth. During the forecast period, concerns about the procedure's unfavorable effects are expected to pose a significant challenge to the tissue expander market in this region. The expander causes an ugly protrusion, which is beneficial in breast reconstruction but can be highly obvious in those who need their scalp or other body parts repaired. In addition, the patients are generally afraid of mechanically stretching their skin and muscle; thus, they assume the procedure is painful.

REPORT COVERAGE

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

One of the most significant impact-rendering factors in the Middle East and Africa is an increase in the number of trauma cases and catastrophic road accidents, which leads to increased demand for tissue expanders. According to the World Health Organization, road accidents hurt approximately 10 million individuals each year, including the head, chest, arms, and legs. In addition, accidents on the road might leave you with significant scars or deformities that will require surgery to correct. As a result, the number of aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries performed grows in tandem with the frequency of road accidents.

Saudi Arabia is expected to dominate the Middle East and Africa Tissue Expander market during the forecast period. In 2016, revenues from frontal skin and scalp repair were exceptionally high due to an increase in the number of these treatments. In addition, the need for scalp reduction surgical procedures has increased due to the rise in the number of trauma and burn cases and a high prevalence of cicatricial alopecia.

South Africa is expected to hold a significant proportion of the Middle East and Africa Tissue Expander market. This is because the increased incidence of breast cancer in Africa accounts for a large portion of the continent's revenue. Furthermore, cosmetic surgery is becoming more popular, encouraging the growth of the local industry.
