According to the WHO, approximately 2.3 million women globally were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. As a result, the demand for breast reconstruction is expected to rise, propelling market growth for the forecast period.
Reimbursement for breast reconstruction is also being made available in a growing number of countries, adding to the increasing demand for this service. According to Medicare, breast reconstruction can be reimbursed if a person has received an under breast mastectomy as a result of breast cancer. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons discovered that the number of breast reconstruction procedures increased from 78,882 in 2000 to 137,808 in 2020.
To keep up with the increasing demand post-COVID-19, the market players are instituting several strategic initiatives like product launches, awareness campaigns and geographic expansion.
Implants were found to be the largest revenue share in 2021 with over 60%, which can be attributed to the rising use of breast implants during breast augmentation surgeries. This implant segment is estimated to continue to dominate the market moving forward. The tissue expander market is also projected to show the fastest growth rate of 8.7% over the forecast period. This growth is due to the increasing use of tissue expanders for breast reconstruction procedures.
Round shape was reported with the largest revenue share with over 55% in 2021. This can be attributed to the growing number of product launches, regular updates by the FBD on breast implant safety and the conduction of clinical trials.
The anatomical shape is estimated to register the fastest growth of 8.7% during the forecast period. According to Sayah Institute, this breast implant provides a natural shape and a textured surface that does not shift after placement.

The Plastic Surgery Statistics Report found that around 1,692,717 breast reconstruction surgeries were performed in the ASCs.
The US generated the largest revenue share with over 40% in 2021. The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at a rate of 7.1% over the forecast period. This growth in the market can be attributed to the rising cases of breast cancer in these regions.
