Gastric Bypass Market Size

Gastric Bypass Market Overview

The Gastric Bypass Market is expected to reach USD 1.61 Billion by 2032 at 4.9% CAGR during the forecast period 2023-2032. Gastric bypass is a surgical treatment that reduces the size of the stomach and its capacity to store food. Gastric bypass, adjustable gastric band, sleeve gastrectomy, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch are all common bariatric surgical methods for reducing stomach size. The stomach is separated into upper and lower pouches during gastric bypass, so food reaches the small intestine straight after passing through the stomach. Obesity, defined as a BMI of more than 40, is well treated with surgery. Other reasons for gastric bypass surgery include gastroesophageal reflux illness, heart disease, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes.

The rising incidence of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, as well as the growing desire for minimally invasive surgery, are propelling the market forward globally. In addition, the employment of modern technological gadgets in health care facilities for surgical procedures has an impact on market growth.

SlimFit Surgical Solutions, a key stakeholder in the bariatric surgery sector, came up with this new robotic-assisted surgical system that specifically supports bariatric operations after its launch announcement in January 2023.

In March 2023, NutriWell Weight Management became a strategic partner with Global Bariatric Specialists, which is comprised of leading surgeons dealing with weight problems on a worldwide scale.

The FDA approved Gastric Solutions Inc.’s groundbreaking non-invasive bariatric procedure as a medical device company. This means there is now an alternative for eligible patients to undergo less invasive methods of bariatric treatment.

Standard Bariatrics, Inc. hit a major milestone in its Titan SGS surgical stapler technology by completing its first 1,000 clinical cases by January 2022. Essentially, the use of a tailored anatomical approach Titan SGS for use in bariatric surgery has proven effective, resulting in improved outcomes and enhanced efficiencies
