South Africa Bariatric Surgery Market Analysis

The South Africa Bariatric Surgery Market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.38% during the forecast period.

COVID-19 has impacted the growth of the bariatric surgery market in the country. Due to the lockdown measures taken by the government, the surgical centres and clinics were shut down to avoid contact as well as the spread of the virus among the population. Bariatric surgeries were considered non-emergent; as a result, these procedures were on hold, and their success rate declined. Hence, the market growth slowed down during the pandemic. However, with the released COVID-19 restrictions, resumed services, and increased patient visits, the market studied is expected to grow over the forecast period.

The increasing number of obese patients and the growing burden of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and others, are boosting the market's growth.

The increasing prevalence of obesity in the South African population is the key factor driving the market growth. As per an article published by the Southern African Journal of Infectious Diseases in April 2021, South Africa had the highest prevalence of obesity; by 2025, 47.7% of females, 23.3% of males, and 22.1% of children are expected to be obese in the country. The increase in obesity is expected to increase the demand for bariatric surgery as obese people are at high risk of developing chronic diseases, such as diabetes and other cardiovascular diseases, which would propel the market growth.

The rising burden of chronic diseases is also contributing to the market's growth. Hence, patients are taking measures, such as bariatric surgeries, to prevent obesity. For instance, according to the 2022 statistics published by the IDF, 4.2 million people were living with diabetes in South Africa in 2021. That number is expected to reach 5.4 million by 2030 and 7.4 million by 2045, which is anticipated to boost the growth of the bariatric surgery market over the forecast period.

Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors, the studied market is expected to increase over the forecast period. However, the high cost of surgery is likely to hinder the market growth over the forecast period.
