Lithotripsy Devices Market Dynamics:

Lithotripsy Devices Market has significantly increased owing to the rising prevalence of urolithiasis among the general population. As per the British Association of Urological Surgeons 2021, Kidney stones are common. Patients undergoing a CT scan have an 8% chance of having kidney stones and its incidence has been steadily increasing since the early 20th century. Moreover, 1 in 11 people (9%) will get stone symptoms during their lifetime. Men are affected slightly more often than women. Patients of all ages suffer from stones, but the peak age for a first stone is around the age of 45.

Moreover, the growing burden of stones developing in different organs of the body leads to the growth in the demand for Lithotripsy procedures. These procedures treat stones by emitting focused ultrasonic energy or shock waves directly to the stone first located with fluoroscopy or ultrasound (high-frequency sound waves). These shock waves break a large stone into smaller stones that pass through the urinary system. Owing to the occurrence of stones in various parts of the body, the Lithotripsy Devices market will rise significantly. According to the National Kidney Foundation 2021, over half a million people go to emergency rooms for kidney stone problems every year. Thus, the burgeoning cases of urolithiasis will contribute to the Global Lithotripsy Devices Market growth.

In addition, the development of advanced technologies is evolving at a greater pace. For instance, in February 2021, Shockwave Medical, Inc. developed an intravascular lithotripsy sonic pressure wave therapy that involves delivering sonic waves to calcified plaque in an artery. The device received Pre-Market Approval for severely calcified coronary artery disease from the US FDA. The innovative technology, which was granted Breakthrough Device designation by the FDA, is a novel application of lithotripsy, an approach that has been used for decades to safely break up kidney stones. Such technological advancement in the field of Lithotripsy Devices is likely to boost the Global Lithotripsy Devices Market during the forecast period.

Also, the aging population is more prone to the formation of kidney stones and an increased risk of end-stage renal failure. As per the World Population Prospects, 2019, there were 703 million older persons aged 65 or over in 2019 globally. Therefore, as the aging population increases, there will be more prevalence of urolithiasis, which will eventually boost the demand for Lithotripsy Devices which will drive the growth of the Global Lithotripsy Devices market.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant decrease in emergency department visits.

Moreover, there was a delay in outpatient clinic appointments which pushed the need towards virtual or telephone clinics. Due to a lack of in-hospital beds, anesthesia or procedural slots, and healthcare professionals, these changes created a significant backlog in the treatment, thereby creating a negative impact on the Global Lithotripsy Devices market.

However, certain factors like blood loss during internal bleeding and the adverse effects of postoperative complications may restrict the growth of the Global Lithotripsy Devices Market.

Lithotripsy Devices Market By Type (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy Devices, Intracorporeal Lithotripsy Devices, Others), By Application (Kidney Stones, Pancreatic Stones, Ureteral Stones, Others), By End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Others), and by Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).

In the by-type segment of the Lithotripsy Devices market, the Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy Devices (ESWL) market segment will hold a significant share in the Global Lithotripsy Devices market. The large market share of this product segment can be attributed to the growing patient adoption of these devices and quick treatment. The main benefit of ESWL is that the treatment is totally non-invasive, as it does not involve any skin incisions or the use of any invasive surgical instruments to treat the stone. Instead, shock waves are utilized to shatter the stone into tiny fragments that flow through the ureter and out of the bladder. It also has other advantages such as reduced pain, quick recovery time, and shorter hospital stays.

This treatment method is chosen by a majority of the patient and physician population. ESWL is suited for small stones as well as certain stones present in the upper portion of the ureter. Moreover, Multiple stones can also be treated with ESWL. Therefore, it is expected that with such advantages offered by the Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy Devices this technology is expected to increase its penetration in coming years, thus this will drive the segment to grow during the forecast period, which will have a positive impact on the overall Global Lithotripsy Devices Market growth.
