Dilators Market Dynamics:

One of the main drivers of the Dilators market is their wide application in various surgical fields. For people with esophageal strictures in gastrointestinal conditions like Esophageal cancer, dilation offers relief from symptoms by widening the esophagus. As per the American Cancer Society, 2022, it is estimated that 15,530 deaths (12,410 men and 3,120 women) from Esophageal will occur in 2022. According to the World Cancer Research Fund, 2018, Esophageal cancer is the seventh most commonly occurring cancer in men and the 13th most commonly occurring cancer in women in 2018.

Moreover, the growing cases of cervical & ovarian cancers in geriatric women is another factor responsible for the growth of the Dilators market. As per the data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) 2022, Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women.

Moreover, as per the American Cancer Society 2022, Cervical cancers are most frequently diagnosed in women between the ages of 35 and 44 with the average age of diagnosis being 50. More than 20% of cases of cervical cancer are found in women over 65.

These patients require the use of Cervical Dilators to widen the Cervix for the physician. Therefore, the demand for Dilators is set to witness an increased growth owing to the increasing prevalence of growing cases of gastrointestinal and gynecological conditions, thereby positively impacting the dilators market growth during the forecast period (2024-2030).

Along with the factors mentioned above, technological advancements in the field of Dilators such as the development of new techniques to enhance the output of surgeries are also expected to aid in the growth of the Dilators market. For instance, in May 2022, Merit Medical Endotek announced the launch of the Elation5 Dilation Balloon, the first and only 5-stage balloon on the market. Elation5 is designed to incrementally dilate strictures in the gastrointestinal tract with the widest diameter range available on a single balloon catheter.

However, certain factors like product recall and the very high cost of the dilators are expected to restrain the growth of the dilators market.

Moreover, the Dilators market witnessed a period of temporary setback owing 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 Dilators in the market as a large number of surgeries across different medical specialties were suspended during the initial lockdown period, thereby limiting the market growth for a short time. Nevertheless, the market for Dilators is in 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 Dilators market during the forecast period from 2024-2030.

In the Product Type segment of the Dilators market, the Gynecological Dilators are estimated to hold a higher share in the Dilators market during the forecast period (2024-2030).
