Ablation Technology Market Analysis and Forecast to 2031: By Technology (Radiofrequency Devices, Laser/Light Ablation, Ultrasound Devices, Cryoablation Devices, Others), Application (Cancer Treatment, Cardiovascular Disease Treatment, Ophthalmologic Treatment, Urological Treatment, Cosmetic Surgery), End User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centres) and Region
Global Ablation Technology Market is expected to reach $10.8bn by 2031 growing at a CAGR of 8.7% between 2021 and 2031.
Ablation therapies can be used for the treatment of various diseases across several medical fields such as ophthalmology, cancer, gynaecology, and cardiovascular. It is less painful than conventional surgical operations, and it is a minimally invasive procedure, leading to a shorter recovery time. Adding to that, it causes very little damage to the surrounding tissues. Even though it lowers the side effects, it also has some disadvantages. For example, large and bulky tissues cannot be treated with ablation, such as bone and neck nodules. Also, the availability of ablation treatment in remote locations is quite restricted.
Scope of the Report
Market Drivers
Growing demand for minimally invasive/non-invasive procedures
In current times, the demand for minimally invasive procedures has witnessed a significant raised owing to the advantages offered by these procedures over traditional treatment procedures—fewer operative complications, shorter hospitalization, less pain, smaller & more cosmetic incisions, lower risk of infection, reduced post-operative care, and rapid recovery. Minimally invasive procedures make use of advanced technologies to diagnose and manage various diseases, comprising cancer. These procedures are used to remove cancer tumors and lymph nodes without scarring. Minimally invasive techniques also assist surgeons in collecting tissues for biopsy and accurate staging studies.
Market OpportunitiesGrowth capabilities of emerging economies
Emerging economies, such as India, China, Mexico, and Brazil, offer significant growth opportunities in the ablation technology market, due to factors such as initiatives undertaken by stakeholders across these countries, low regulatory barriers for trade, continuous improvements in the healthcare infrastructure, growing patient population, the relatively low procedural cost for disease treatment (compared to developed countries), less stringent regulatory policies, low competition, and rising healthcare expenditure. Additionally, these regions have reported growth in the incidence and prevalence of lifestyle diseases such as cardiac diseases and cancer, which is also likely to boost the growth of the market.
Market RestraintsStrong market standing of alternative therapies
The availability of effective conventional first-level therapies for the treatment of liver cancer, uterine fibroids, hemorrhagic stroke, and other hemorrhagic conditions is a major restraint to market growth. For example, therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are preferred in cancer treatment owing to the high awareness among individuals about traditional cancer treatments, the low adoption of advanced treatment options (majorly in developing countries), and the hesitance among oncologists to shift from conventional treatment options.
Impact of COVID-19 on Ablation Technology Market
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown it triggered is witnessed in various industries, comprising the ablation technology market. The overall growth of various sectors has been heavily impacted, specifically in countries with a high incidence rate of COVID-19, such as China, the US, and several European countries (Russia, Italy, and Spain, among others). While industries such as oil and petroleum, aeronautics, and mining are experiencing a steep fall in revenues, the healthcare, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical activities are optimizing this situation to serve the maximum number of patients and healthcare experts.
The ablation technology market witnessed a loss of business owing to unfavourable changes in regulations and guidelines. Major regulatory authorities across the globe (such as CDC, WHO, MHRA, TGA, and EMA) have acknowledged that cancer patients are at greater risk of COVID-19 infection than healthy adults. So, screening, diagnostic exams, and surgical procedures are severely restricted or postponed at hospitals and cancer care centers. This is likely to cause disruptions in the ablation technology market.
