The global gastric device market, valued at over $124 million in 2025, is projected to grow modestly to about $134 million by 2032, expanding at a 1.1% CAGR. Growth is limited due to competition from bariatric surgery and GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, which have reduced demand for gastric balloons and bands. Gastric balloons remain the dominant segment, favored for being less invasive and reversible, while gastric bands face decline due to complications and preference shifts. Manufacturers are repositioning devices as temporary or bridge therapies for patients not ready or eligible for surgery. Innovations like swallowable balloons may improve access, but surgical and drug treatments continue to dominate the obesity treatment market.
