Cryotherapy Market Analysis and Forecast to 2032: By Product Type (Cryosurgery Devices, Localized Cryotherapy Devices, Cryochambers & Cryosaunas), Application (Surgical Application, Pain Management, Recovery, Health, and Beauty), End User (Hospital & Speciality Clinics, Cryotherapy Centers, Spas & Fitness Centers), and Region
Cryotherapy is widely used for treatment of health conditions such as pain, malignant & benign tumours, tissue damages or lesions, and sports injuries. Cryotherapy is a pain management treatment that uses a method of localized freezing temperatures to kill an irritated nerve, abnormal skin cells, or localized areas of some cancers (called cryosurgery), e.g., prostate cancer and skin cancer. In cryotherapy, a probe is inserted into the tissue next to affected nerve to freeze the nerve. The freezing inactivates the nerve and, as a result, painful nerve irritation is relieved. Cryotherapy is a relatively safe and effective means of treating localized nerve irritation.
Market Drivers & Trends
Cryotherapy is used to treat several types of cancers, as well as some precancerous or noncancerous conditions. In addition to prostate and liver tumors, cryosurgery can be an effective treatment for Retinoblastoma, early-stage skin cancers (both basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas), precancerous skin growths known as actinic keratosis, and precancerous conditions of the cervix known as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. The oncology segment may hold the highest market share during the forecast period due to the high incidence and prevalence of cancer, as well as growing awareness regarding various types of cryotherapy approaches.
Minimally invasive ablative procedures have emerged as popular alternatives for cancer treatment or surgical tumor removal with rapid advances in modern imaging. Tumor ablation modalities are currently offered in clinical practice, and cryoablation procedures are extensively used. Increasing research for analyzing the impact of cryotherapy on cancer treatment is also increasing. Thus, the extensive and rising research on the benefits of cryotherapy and combination cryoablation cancer therapies is predicted to create a better opportunity for the oncology segment.
Market Restraints & Challenges
Limited access to cryotherapy and lack of awareness. Cryotherapy remains limited to very few geographic regions. The extent of cryotherapy practices is majorly limited to North America and Europe, with few other countries like Japan, China, and Australia witnessing any developments in this field, mainly due to lack of awareness. Even though it is found to be safer and less-painful than highly invasive surgical procedures, it is generally utilized only for surgical treatments on a large scale. According to the "International Patient Survey: Ledderhose disease," patients found cryotherapy to be a more effective treatment option but less available than conventional methods. The US NIH National Cancer Institute asserts that although cryosurgery may widely be available for the treatment of cervical neoplasias, a very limited number of hospitals and cancer centers throughout the US house the necessary technology to perform cryosurgery for other noncancerous, precancerous, and cancerous conditions. Limited access to cryotherapy and a lack of awareness regarding its benefits and advantages may restrict market growth to a certain extent during the forecast period.
