Growth Outlook
High — India's rising disposable income in metro and tier-2 cities is expanding the cosmetic surgery market at 15–18% CAGR (ISAPS India data); post-COVID awareness of reconstructive options (post-mastectomy breast reconstruction, post-burn rehabilitation) is growing; tier-2 city hospital expansion (Apollo, Manipal, Aster) is opening reconstructive plastic units that did not exist before; the number of M.Ch seats (under 150/year nationally) will remain far below demand for the next decade.
