Urology Devices Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product Type (Consumables & Accessories, Retrieval Devices & Extractors, Endoscopy Fluid Management Systems, Dilator Sets & Urethral Access Sheaths, Insufflators, Surgical Dissectors, Forceps, & Needle Holders, Instruments), Technology (Robotic Surgery, Minimally Invasive), Application (Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Kidney Diseases, Cancer and BPH, Bladder Cancer, Prostate Cancer), Sales Channel (Medical Stores & Brand Outlet, Online Retailing), End User (Home Healthcare, Hospitals & Clinics, Dialysis Centers, Ambulatory Surgical Centers) and Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Urology Devices Market is accounted for $40.31 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $57.51 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. Medical equipment called urology devices is used to identify different urologic illnesses. Several urologic problems, such as urinary tract infections (UTI), kidney illness, urethral cancer, urine incontinence, urolithiasis, and others, can be treated with the use of these cutting-edge procedures.
According to the European Association of Urology, up to 31% of sepsis cases begin as UTIs, accounting for 2.8 million to 9.8 million cases in the US and Europe and resulting in as many as 1.6 million fatalities.
Market Dynamics:Driver:Increasing prevalence of urological diseases
Chronic renal failure that progresses to ESRD is brought on by uncontrolled diabetes and untreated high blood pressure. Additionally, kidney stone illness is becoming more commonplace around the globe. Western nations frequently experience kidney stone illness. In Western nations, the lifetime prevalence of kidney stone disease varies from 8% to 12% for males and 5% to 7% for women. The most frequent risk factor for kidney stone disease is obesity. In OECD nations, approximately one in six kids and more than one in two adults are overweight or obese. Therefore, it is anticipated that throughout the projected period.
Restraint:Adverse Effects of Cystoscopes
Due to a number of adverse consequences, including infections, haemorrhage, urine retention, and bladder perforation, the market adoption of cystoscopes has plummeted. According to MMR, the number of UTI infections related to office cystoscopy increased by 10–20% in 2020. It is anticipated that these adverse effects would limit the usage of cystoscopes to some extent. Additionally, the market expansion is being hampered by the high cost of urology equipment. Numerous governments and organisations are teaching urology hospitals about the drawbacks associated with the use of these devices. These infections connected to urology devices are predicted to impede market expansion.
Opportunity:Emergence of innovative technologies
One of the main difficulties of BPH therapy is dealing with sexual issues. Ejaculation issues and ED have been connected to the routinely used TURP therapy for BPH. Therefore, those who are worried about maintaining their sexual function should choose UroLift. For lithotripsy in the treatment of kidney stones, thulium fibre lasers (TFLs) are being researched as a potential substitute for the holmium laser. In terms of lithotripsy, the TFL has a number of potential benefits over holmium lasers, including a four-fold lower ablation threshold, a nearly single-mode beam profile, and greater pulse rates.
Threat:Limitations and risk factors associated with urology devices
Pneumoembolism from dialysis catheters linked to vein thrombosis is possible. An intraluminal occlusion results from the fibrin sheath becoming occluded during thrombosis. Furthermore, those who undergo catheterization are at a greater risk of CLABSI (Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections). Dialysis catheter misplacement can lead to clotting, infection, and kinking. Therefore, the market's growth potential would be hampered over the projection period by the dangers and issues related to urological catheters.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 outbreak has caused disruptions in global health systems. This has had a big influence on urological therapy and urology medical professionals. Numerous healthcare facilities are now overrun by very ill patients as a result of the rising COVID-19 instances throughout the world. The COVID-19 strain commonly causes patients to experience severe respiratory distress, which may occasionally result in acute renal impairment and kidney failure. The increased number of COVID-19-infected people throughout the world is anticipated to result in an increase in the requirement for dialysis procedures.
The instruments segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The instruments segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. This market is expanding as a consequence of improving research and the growing usage of minimally invasive procedures. Some of the most frequently used urology devices include catheters, cystoscopy, endoscopes, bladder forceps, kidney and kidney stone forceps, optical stone forceps, urethra forceps, visual cystoscopic instruments, flexible cystoscopic instruments, hohenfellner, prostatectomy instruments, and precise spermatic instruments.
The hospitals and clinics segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The hospitals and clinics segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the increasing number of hospitals and clinics around the world. One of the main reasons propelling the growth of this market is the increased demand for minimally invasive operations, technical advancements in surgical techniques, and growing public awareness of urological problems and their early identification and treatment. Government programmes including funding for the construction of healthcare facilities are also anticipated to fuel market expansion throughout the projected timeframe.
Region with highest share:
Europe is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. Stress urine incontinence and symptoms of an overactive bladder are common among patients. One in three women in this area suffers from urinary incontinence, which is thought to be more frequent than hay fever. The prevalence of urology patients in hospitals has led to an increase in technical developments for treating these disorders. The regional market is anticipated to expand considerably due to the rising incidences and prevalence of urinary problems in the area as well as the high per capita healthcare spending.
Region with highest CAGR:North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most underserved sectors in the urology sector, and several US-based companies are working to enhance their offerings in this space through collaborations or acquisitions. While girls are more prone to develop infections as they age, boys are more likely to do so before they are a year old. Additionally, the most common outpatient infections in adult women are urinary tract infections (UTIs), which have a lifetime prevalence of between 50 and 60 percent. UTIs account for a large percentage of yearly medical visits in the United States. As a result of increased urological equipment sales, this condition propels the market. The societal and personal costs of UTIs are enormous.
