Segment Analysis

The global uterine manipulation devices market is segmented based on product type, type, application, end-user and region.

Increasing Number of Hysterectomy Procedures Conducted

Hysterectomy is surgery to extract the uterus/womb, out of the procedures specific to females, hysterectomies are the second most performed surgery in the U.S. (after cesarean sections). NIH, estimations indicate that one out of nine females will experience a hysterectomy in their lifetime and that roughly 600,000 operations are conducted annually in the United States. Moreover, according to NIH, in India, the preponderance of hysterectomy procedures was 3.2%, the highest in Andhra Pradesh (8.9%) and the lower in Assam (0.9%). Rural India had elevated a preponderance than urban India.

Further, one out of three women in the U.S. have had a hysterectomy by age 60. Therefore, the growing female geriatric population will also contribute to the segment growth in the forecast period. For instance, according to the National Statistical Office (NSO)'s Elderly in India 2021 report, India's geriatric residents (aged 60 and above) were estimated to brush 194 million in 2031 from 138 million in 2021, a 41 percent growth over a decade.

Geographical Penetration

The growing demand for gynecological surgeries owing to increasing cases of gynecological disorders in this region. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society's 2023, estimations around 13,960 fresh cases of invasive cervical cancer are expected to be diagnosed and, over 4,310 females are expected to die from cervical cancer by the end of 2023. Moreover, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services, Endometriosis is estimated to affect over 11% of American females between 15 and 44. It is extremely typical among females in their 30s and 40s and may cause it more difficult to acquire pregnancy.

Moreover, according to CDC, PCOS is among the highly typical reasons for female infertility, impacting 6% to 12%, accounting for around 5 million US females of reproductive age. Interstitial cystitis (IC) is highly typical, the disorder is estimated to impact 3 million to 8 million women and between 1 million to 4 million men in the United States. Further, the Centers for Disease and Prevention (CDC) reports that roughly 600,000 hysterectomies are conducted in the United States annually.

Similarly, according to Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) or the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), analysis of growing trends in hysterectomy prevalence by age and directional differences by race and ethnicity were observed with less than 2% of women aged 20-29 years and over 4 in 10 females aged 70-79 years documented undergoing hysterectomy. Furthermore, the increasing initiatives and availability of reimbursement policies in the United States ensures the North America's uterine manipulation devices market growth in the forecast period.

For instance, the Medicare covers a doctor considered medically necessary hysterectomy. Again, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) suggests screening for cervical cancer every 3 years with a Pap test in females aged 21 to 29 years, and for women ages 30 to 65 years, a Pap test screening every 3 years with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing every 5 years, or every 5 years with both types of tests. Again, the NCI Cervical Cancer 'Last Mile' Initiative, a public-private collaboration getting together federal agencies, industry associates, and professional associations to contribute proof regarding the precision and clinical significance of self-sampling-based HPV testing for cervical cancer screening.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

According to an article titled, "Gynecological Surgery and COVID-19" published in July 2020, an estimated 28 million procedures were delayed or withdrawn globally because of the pandemic, forcing a hold on the diagnosis and treatment of over 2 million cancer patients. In Brazil, both the National Health Agency (ANS) and National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) advised the postponement of elective and non-essential procedures, caused a significant impact on the number of surgical procedures that decreased by 33.4% in this period.

Moreover, according to a nationwide survey by the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the whole number of surgeries dropped from 129,648 in 2019 to 118,565 in 2020, accounting for 8.5%, for all surgical operations. Nevertheless, there was steep growth in the number of robotic procedures conducted in 2020 corresponded to that in 2019 for all inhabitants. The number of entire hysterectomies declined markedly from 15,385 in 2019 to 12,531 in 2020, a demonstrating a drop of 10.1%.

Again, earlier during the pandemic, ambulatory visitings at some medical centers in the U.S. dropped significantly, with a concurrent growth in telehealth visits. Yet, the transformation of in-person care to telemedicine care was inconsistent across experties. Procedure volumes were even dropped throughout the multiple specialties.

Surprisingly, actually volumes for some sorts of emergency department care were attenuated, including for some gynecologic disorders. COVID-19 has altered clinical and surgical approaches in benign gynecology. It has directed medics to begin employing telemedicine for gynecologic care more readily, and considerable gynecologists have continued to employ this approach of health care even when the pandemic has subsided.
