Radiofrequency Ablation Devices Market Insights, Competitive Landscape and Market Forecast–2027
Radiofrequency Ablation Devices Market By Product Type (Rf Generators, Rf Catheters, Rf Electrodes, And Others), By Application (Cardiology, Oncology, Pain Management, And Others), By End User (Hospitals, Specialty Clinics, And Others), by geography is expected to grow at a steady CAGR forecast till 2027 owing to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as atiral fibrillation and various cancers.
Global Radiofrequency Ablation Devices Market was valued at USD 3.64 billion in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 9.37% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2027 to reach USD 6.19 billion by 2027. The demand for radiofrequency ablation devices is witnessing growth due to the growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, rising geriatric population, and technological advancements in product development and design improvement.
Radiofrequency Ablation Devices Market Dynamics:
The radiofrequency ablation devices market is witnessing an increase in market revenue owing to the rising prevalence of various chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. As per the factsheet provided by the World Health Organization (2021), cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death across the globe, where in this group of disease account for an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. CVDs are classified as a group of disorders that specifically affect the heart and blood vessels. Some of CVDs include coronary heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and other conditions. Additionally, the data cited by the World Heart Foundation stated that by 2030, near about 14–17 million people in the European Union will be living with atrial fibrillation. The aforementioned source further stated the numbers for atrial fibrillation to reach 12 million in the United States. Radiofrequency ablation is a popular method which is employed in the AFib treatment. Therefore, the rising global prevalence of cardiovascular diseases such as atrial fibrillation would lead to the increase in the demand for radiofrequency ablation devices, thereby aiding in the global radiofrequency ablation devices market growth.
Another key factor responsible for the growth of the radiofrequency ablation devices market is the rising prevalence of various cancers. Liver cancer is one of the commonest types of cancers where radiofrequency ablation is used as one of the treatment approaches. As per the GLOBOCAN 2020 study, in 2020, there were approximately 905,677 new cases and about 830,180 deaths associated with liver cancer respectively across the globe. Even though radiofrequency ablation is not the mainstay treatment for cancers, it is often used as either an adjunctive treatment or is suggested on case-to-case basis. Therefore, the rising prevalence of cancers of different etiologies are also expected to contribute in the growing demand for radiofrequency ablation devices, eventually taking the radiofrequency ablation devices market forward during the forecast period.
However, radiofrequency ablation procedure-related risks as well as limited ablation zone in cancer treatment may prove to be certain restraints to the radiofrequency ablation devices market growth.
In addition to the previously mentioned factors, the radiofrequency ablation devices market witnessed a period of temporary setback due to the imposing of the lockdown restrictions as necessary measures to contain the COVID-19 spread. One of the major steps during this was the suspension of numerous elective procedures and outpatient visits which reduced the demand for radiofrequency ablation devices in the market as various RF ablation procedures were deemed non-essential during the initial lockdown period, thereby limiting the market growth for a short time. Nevertheless, the market for RF ablation devices is on the period of recovery with the resumption of activities across various domains including healthcare services owing to the approval and administration of numerous COVID-19 vaccines across the globe, thereby presenting a positive future outlook for the radiofrequency ablation devices market in the forecast period.
Radiofrequency Ablation Devices Market Segment Analysis:
Radiofrequency Ablation Devices Market by Product Type (RF Generators, RF Catheters, RF Electrodes, and Others), by Application (Cardiology, Oncology, Pain Management, and Others), by End User (Hospitals, Specialty Clinics, and Others), and by Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World)
In the product segment of the radiofrequency ablation devices market, the RF catheters are estimated to account for a significant revenue share in the market for radiofrequency ablation devices. The auto-sizing capability of the RFA catheters help simplify and shorten circumferential RFA procedures. The through-the-scope certain RFA catheters also appears to simplify procedures in which limited focal radiofrequency ablation is needed and may reduce patient discomfort compared to over-the-scope type of catheters, which require multiple introductions of the endoscope. Thus, the factors mentioned above are going to be key contributors in the increasing demand for RFA catheters in the RFA Devices market during the forecast period.
North America is expected to dominate the Overall Radiofrequency Ablation Devices Market:
Among all the regions, North America is expected to account for the significant market share in the radiofrequency ablation devices market. North America is predicted to account for the dominant market share because of the high prevalence of chronic pain from various reasons such as low back pain, neck pain, and arthritis among other factors, rising population of the elderly as well as high awareness among people regarding disease management and the new product launches in the region.
The North America radiofrequency ablation devices market is witnessing an upward trend due to the rising prevalence of chronic low back pain among other factors. As per the data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2019, about 40 million US workers reported the problem of low back pain. Low back pain is one of the chief complaints that significantly affect the quality of life of patients. Radiofrequency ablation is often employed to interrupt pain signals in spinal nerves and is an emerging treatment option for chronic low back pain. Hence, the increasing patient pool of chronic low back pain may result in the growing demand for RFA devices, which in turn will boost the radiofrequency ablation devices market growth in the country as well as in the region.
As per the data provided by the Public Health Agency of Canada published in 2020, approximately 3.9 million (13.6%) Canadians over the age of 20 years live with diagnosed osteoarthritis. It has been reported in many studies that RFA procedures provide greater improvements in pain relief and knee function in patients suffering from osteoarthritis. Therefore, the increase in number of patients suffering from osteoarthritis in Canada is expected to drive the demand for RFA devices, thereby in the overall growth of the radiofrequency ablation devices market in the North American region.
The above-mentioned facts point towards the presence of diverse patient pool in the country as well as region that may benefit from the utilization of radiofrequency ablation devices. Furthermore, the well-established patient care system along with awareness among patients and caregivers regarding different types of radiofrequency ablation devices is further expected to propel the North American radiofrequency ablation devices market growth.
Moreover, the prompt and well-established healthcare services and infrastructure further contributes to the growth of the regional radiofrequency ablation devices market. The presence of key players in the region and supportive reimbursement programs further provide immense growth opportunities for radiofrequency ablation devices market. For instance, in February 2020, Boston Scientific Corporation received the product approval from the Canadian medical device regulatory authority, Health Canada for their IntellaNav StablePoint Ablation Catheter which is indicated to be used with in conjunction with a radio frequency (RF) generator for carrying out cardiac ablation.
Therefore, all the factors mentioned above would collectively contribute in the growth of the North America radiofrequency ablation devices market during the forecast period, ultimately driving the RF ablation devices market growth.
