Urethral Stricture Treatment Devices Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)
Global Urethral Stricture Treatment Devices Market is anticipated to grow with an elevated CAGR of around 6% over the forecast period (2021-2027).
Urethral stricture is a condition in which the urethral opening becomes narrow due to injuries, scars, or infection. A stricture obstructs the free flow of the urine through the urethra. Therefore, urethral stents, catheters, or dilators are employed to maintain the flow as the urethral stricture treatment. The growing adoption of urethral stricture treatment devices can be attributed to the rising prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia & neurogenic bladder coupled with a rapidly growing geriatric population. According to the United Nations, the 60+ aged population was 962 million in 2017 which is more than twice that it was in 1980 at 382 million. The number of elderly people is expected to double again by 2050 and reach nearly 2.1 billion worldwide. Furthermore, with rapid advancements in technology, many of the industry players are focusing on launching new products in the market to expand their product portfolio, which will drive the market for urethral stricture treatment devices globally. For example, in December 2021, The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the Urotronic Optilume Urethral Drug Coated Balloon to treat urethral strictures in males. It serves as an alternative to traditional endoscopic stricture treatments for men suffering from urethral strictures. Boston Scientific Corporation, Laborie, Cook Medical, B.Braun Melsungen AG, Allium Medical, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Teleflex Incorporated, Pnn Medical A/S, Med pro Medical B.V., and Coloplast, are some of the prominent players operating in the urethral stricture treatment devices market. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with urethral stricture treatment devices.
