Minimally Invasive Weight Loss Devices Market

The minimally invasive weight loss devices market (which includes laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding systems, intragastric balloon systems and implantable neuroregulators/gastric stimulation devices) was valued at more than $137m in 2016 and is expected to grow at a double-digit rate over the next 5 years. The overall market will be driven by highly favorable demographics, low penetration, strong demand for safe and effective nonsurgical weight loss therapies (filling an underserved market between weight loss drugs and drastic bariatric surgery) and increased adoption of novel, proprietary next-generation implantable weight loss technologies--particularly new/improved capsule-based intragastric balloon systems.
