The Global Market for Energy Based Ablation Devices is Forecast to Reach US$26.5 Billion by 2020
Growing
Preference for Minimally Invasive Surgery Spurs Demand for Energy Based Ablation
Devices, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces the release
of a comprehensive global report on Energy Based Ablation Devices. The
global market for Energy Based Ablation Devices is forecast to reach US$26.5
billion by 2020, buoyed by the growing preference among both doctors and
patients for minimally invasive surgery.
The global healthcare industry
is witnessing dynamic changes, driven by rapid technological advancements in
therapeutics, diagnostics, and medical devices, among others. Among the most
remarkable developments dotting the healthcare landscape in recent times is the
rapidly increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures. Minimally invasive
surgeries are the result of technological advancements in the field of medical
lasers, endoscopy, robotics and energy based ablation devices. Energy based
ablation devices harness energy from
various sources including cryotherapy, electrical, radiation, radiofrequency,
ultrasound, hydrothermal, hydro mechanical, microwave and light, to cut and
seal tissue. Controlled application of energy on target tissue for achieving
the desired alteration is growing in popularity in the field of oncology.
Energy based ablation devices are currently used in diverse
healthcare fields such as cardiology, orthopedics, ophthalmology, dermatology,
oncology, urology, gynecology, and neurosurgery. The
global growth in surgical procedures is helping drive demand for energy based ablation devices. Key factors supporting the
growth in surgery volumes include rise in aging population requiring surgical medical
intervention, and high prevalence of chronic diseases among the general population.
Developed economies such as the United States, UK, Canada, Japan and Germany
along with certain emerging markets like China, are home to a growing base of
aging individuals. With life expectancy increasing, the number of diseases that
need to be treated is also growing, resulting in increased demand for
healthcare services and products. Growing awareness among the elderly over
available minimally invasive treatment options and procedures is expected to
augur well for market growth in the coming years. High cost of conventional invasive
treatments and aggressive cost rationalization in hospitals are playing
important roles in changing the direction of healthcare treatment regimens in
favor of minimally invasive procedures. The scenario is benefiting demand for
energy based ablation devices.
As stated by the new market research
report on Energy Based Ablation Devices, the
United States and Europe represent major markets worldwide. Asia-Pacific, led
by strong healthcare spending in China and India, is forecast to emerge as the
fastest growing market. Radiation Energy Based Ablation
Devices
represents the largest product segment. Radiofrequency Based Ablation
Devices will
offer strong growth opportunities, given its widespread use in cardiovascular
procedures. Catheter cryoablation devices are witnessing the fastest growth in
demand and the probable approval of balloon cryoablation and cryoablation
procedures by the FDA for atrial fibrillation treatment would offer further
boost demand in the market in the coming years.
