The global urology lasers market size is anticipated to reach USD 1.66 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc, registering a CAGR of 6.0% over the forecast period. Growing demand for demand for minimally invasive surgeries, rise in number of patients suffering from urinary calculi, and technological advancements in urology lasers is anticipated to boost the market growth.
Demand for laser in urology is rising due to the increasing preference towards minimally invasive surgeries as these procedures reduce morbidity, dysfunction, and it has the ability to ablate prostatic tissue with minimal hemorrhage or bleeding.
Lasers are used for the treatment of various urological disorders such as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), and urolithiasis. According to the American Urological Association, around 8.8% of the U.S population are affected by urinary stones. Thus, increasing prevalence of urological disorders such as urolithiasis, nephrolithiasis and BPH are also contributing towards the market growth.
Technological advancement in urology lasers has expanded the laser type portfolio used in various surgeries including urology. For instance, holmium (Ho:YAG) lithotripters were traditionally used with two parameters such as pulse frequency and pulse energy which basically defines the duration of lithotripsy. With technological advancement, Holmium lithotripsy is now capable of long-pulse lithotripsy and is considered an efficient and safe technique for the treatment of urinary stones.
