The global breast retractors market size is expected to reach USD 506.49 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.33% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This growth is being driven by several key factors, including growing cases of breast cancer, a growing preference for aesthetic surgery, and a strong emphasis on research and development (R&D) by leading industry players to develop new products. In addition, there is a growing demand for cosmetic procedures and a rising interest in minimally invasive treatments. Increased healthcare expenditure also contributes to the overall growth of the industry.
A rising number of manufacturers of medical devices are concentrating on research and product development to introduce new products that are more accurate and potentially enhance surgical outcomes. For instance, the illuminated retractor system, known as Eikon LT, was created by Stryker. It features different blade sizes to meet various patient anatomy and surgeon preferences, as well as all-in-one illumination and retraction. Additionally, its rounded blade edges minimize tissue stress.
Breast retractors are frequently used during the popular cosmetic operations of breast augmentation (enlargement), breast lifts (mastopexy), and others. These procedures are sometimes performed by women who want to improve the size of their breasts or treat sagging, which raises the need for the associated surgical equipment. Thus, the manufacturers of breast retractors may concentrate on advancements that improve the surgeon's ability to produce results that seem natural and provide retractors adapted to different procedures and approaches.
For instance, in March 2022, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) reported that the number of cosmetic surgeries performed in the UK has increased since the pandemic. The most common operation for women is breast augmentation, although breast reductions are gradually becoming more common. Women underwent 93% of all documented cosmetic treatments, out of which, 6,640 surgeries were performed for breast enlargement and 5,270 for breast reduction according to the survey.
The market for breast retractors is further growing as a result of the rising popularity of minimally invasive techniques for breast surgery. In comparison to open surgery, minimally invasive procedures have several benefits, such as smaller incisions, less scarring, faster recovery times, and lower risks. Moreover, especially after mastectomy, breast reconstruction surgery is becoming more popular. The demand for retractors that offer precise tissue manipulation and visibility has increased as a result of the development of novel breast reconstruction techniques and the quest for superior aesthetic results. Manufacturers must make sure their goods adhere to strict safety and performance criteria because of the strict laws and standards relating to surgical tools, including retractors.
