Global body contouring market forecast

According to the body contouring market analysis, Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global body contouring market to grow at a CAGR of more than 8% by 2020. Rising incidences of obesity and increased awareness about cosmetic surgeries have propelled several overweight people to opt for treatment options including bariatric surgeries such as lap banding, stomach stapling, gastric bypass, stomach reduction, and body contouring. This growing shift towards non-invasive procedures has augmented the market for body contouring across the globe. Several body contouring procedures such as tummy tucks and liposuction are becoming common among customers who are opting for minimally invasive and non-invasive procedures to achieve a natural and healthy appearance within a short time.

Owing to the growing requirement for body contouring devices among healthcare facilities, several vendors are making massive investments in the research activities to improve the benefits associated with body contouring procedures. These advantages include targeted internal delivery, reduction of trauma during the procedure, precise fat measurement, accurate removal of fat from different parts of the body, minimal invasion, faster post-procedure healing time, cost reductions, and an increase in potency. For instance, ZELTIQ Aesthetics’ CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure used to freeze and destroy fat through a controlled device.
