Gel Implants Global Market Report 2026

Gel implants are pliable implants filled with a gel-like substance, widely utilized in procedures such as breast augmentation, facial contouring, and soft tissue augmentation. They are designed to augment or restore volume, shape, and contour to targeted areas of the body, aiming for natural-looking outcomes and enhancing aesthetic appearance.

The primary types of gel implants include silicone gel implants and gummy bear implants. Silicone gel implants are medical devices predominantly employed in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgeries. These implants serve various applications across different end-users, including specialty clinics and hospitals, in both cosmetic enhancement and reconstructive procedures.

Tariffs are impacting the gel implants market by increasing costs for imported medical-grade silicone, packaging materials, and specialized manufacturing components. These effects are most evident in regions dependent on cross-border supply chains, including asia-pacific and parts of europe. Higher production and import costs have influenced pricing for cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. However, tariffs are also encouraging local manufacturing, supplier diversification, and investment in regional production facilities, supporting long-term market resilience.

This gel implants market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The gel implants market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.39 billion in 2025 to $1.46 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in cosmetic surgery procedures, rising awareness of aesthetic appearance, increasing number of reconstructive surgeries, improvements in implant materials, expansion of specialty cosmetic clinics.

The gel implants market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.77 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for personalized aesthetic treatments, growing acceptance of cosmetic procedures across age groups, increasing reconstructive surgeries following breast cancer, expansion of medical tourism for cosmetic surgery, growing focus on body contouring and enhancement. Major trends in the forecast period include rising preference for natural-looking aesthetic enhancements, growing demand for reconstructive procedures post-trauma and cancer, increasing adoption of advanced silicone and cohesive gel implants, expansion of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, rising focus on long-term safety and implant durability.

The increasing prevalence of breast cancer is expected to drive the growth of the gel implant market in the future. Breast cancer, a form of cancer that originates in the cells of the breast, can develop in various parts of the breast, including the milk ducts (ductal carcinoma) or the milk-producing glands (lobular carcinoma). The rising incidence of breast cancer is attributed to greater awareness and screening, an aging population, changes in reproductive patterns, and lifestyle factors. Treatment for breast cancer often necessitates a mastectomy, leading to a demand for breast reconstruction with implants, such as gel implants, which help restore lost volume and shape of the breast. For instance, in September 2025, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, an Australia-based non-profit organization supporting breast cancer research, in the U.S., 1 in 8 women is expected to develop breast cancer. In 2025, more than 378,000 new cases-both invasive and non-invasive-are anticipated, meaning many individuals will personally know someone affected by the disease. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of breast cancer is fueling the growth of the gel implant market.

Leading players operating in the gel implants market are focusing on the development of innovative products, such as high-strength cohesive silicone gel breast implants, to drive revenue growth. High-strength cohesive silicone gel breast implants utilize a thicker silicone gel that retains its shape more effectively, offering a natural feel and improved durability while reducing the risk of rupture or leakage. For example, in July 2023, Sientra, a US-based gel implant manufacturer, launched its high-strength cohesive silicone gel breast implants in Canada. These new breast implants are designed to deliver a more natural appearance and feel, with clinically proven low complication rates. Sientra is the first new silicone gel breast implant manufacturer to receive approval from Health Canada.

In April 2024, Tiger Aesthetics Medical LLC, a U.S.-based tissue engineering company, acquired Sientra, Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to broaden Tiger Aesthetics Medical's product portfolio and improve treatment options for plastic surgeons and patients by incorporating Sientra's expertise in breast implants. Sientra, Inc., also based in the U.S., is known for its specialization in plastic surgery treatments and technologies, particularly in breast implants.
