Lithotripsy devices are medical instruments designed for the treatment of lithotripsy, a non-invasive procedure used to address kidney stones. This procedure employs shock waves or ultrasound waves to break large stones, which may be obstructing the urinary tract, into smaller, more manageable fragments.
The primary types of lithotripsy devices include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy devices and intracorporeal lithotripsy devices. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy devices utilize shock waves generated by a lithotripter. These devices find applications in the treatment of kidney stones, ureteral stones, pancreatic stones, bile duct stones, and other related conditions, and are commonly used in hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and other medical facilities.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The lithotripsy device market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides lithotripsy device market statistics, including lithotripsy device industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a lithotripsy device market share, detailed lithotripsy device market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the lithotripsy device industry. This lithotripsy device market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The lithotripsy device market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.83 billion in 2024 to $1.91 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to risen incidence of kidney stones, preference for non-invasive procedures, advancements in medical imaging, increased geriatric population, patient demand for faster recovery.
The lithotripsy device market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.44 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to technological innovations in lithotripsy, increasing awareness and education, global access to healthcare services, collaborations in urology and nephrology, preventive approaches to kidney stones. Major trends in the forecast period include remote monitoring and telesurgery, continued research in stone fragmentation techniques, global collaboration in lithotripsy research, focus on outcomes-based healthcare, integration of artificial intelligence (ai).
The forecast of 6.3% growth over the next five years indicates a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on piezoelectric shockwave generators and ultrasound targeting systems, sourced from key regions such as Canada and Singapore, which could lead to delayed kidney stone treatments and higher costs for urological procedures.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing prevalence of kidney stones is anticipated to drive the lithotripsy device market in the coming years. Kidney stones are solid, pebble-such as formations that can develop in one or both kidneys due to an excess of specific minerals in the urine. Lithotripsy devices play a crucial role in treating kidney stones by breaking them into smaller pieces using shockwaves, facilitating easier passage through urine. A study published by BioMed Central revealed that the Age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) of kidney stones was 21.11% in a population aged 40-70 years in Kharameh. The estimated ASPR was 24.13% in men and 18.7% in women in 2022, emphasizing the growing prevalence of urolithiasis and propelling the lithotripsy device market.
The increase in healthcare expenditures is expected to contribute to the growth of the lithotripsy device market. Healthcare expenditures encompass all costs related to providing health services, family planning, nutrition programs, and emergency assistance, playing a crucial role in enhancing accessibility and technological advancements in lithotripsy devices. In 2021, healthcare spending in the United States rose by 2.7% to $12,914 per person, totaling $4.3 trillion and accounting for 18.3% of the country's GDP. This substantial rise in healthcare expenditures is a driving force behind the growth of the lithotripsy device market.
A prominent trend in the lithotripsy device market is the emergence of product innovations. Major companies in the market are actively developing new and advanced products to strengthen their market position. In March 2022, Shockwave Medical Inc., a US-based medical device company, introduced the Shockwave M5+ peripheral IVL catheter following CE Mark and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance. This innovative peripheral catheter is designed to reduce IVL treatment duration, broaden access options, and extend IVL therapy to individuals with larger vessel sizes, signifying a significant leap forward in lithotripsy device technology.
Major companies in the lithotripsy device market are prioritizing the development of advanced treatment facilities to expand patient access and improve treatment outcomes. These state-of-the-art facilities incorporate cutting-edge technologies and specialized care, offering comprehensive healthcare services. In May 2023, Government Kilpauk Medical College (KMC) Hospital in India inaugurated an extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) treatment center, utilizing shock waves to non-invasively break kidney stones into small pieces for easier elimination through urine. The ESWL machine, valued at ₹2.3 crore, was generously sponsored by the MOBIS India Foundation as part of its corporate social responsibility funding.
In May 2024, Johnson & Johnson, a U.S.-based company specializing in medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and consumer health products, acquired Shockwave Medical for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition was intended to strengthen Johnson & Johnson's cardiovascular portfolio by incorporating Shockwave Medical's innovative solutions for treating calcified cardiovascular disease, with an emphasis on expanding minimally invasive treatment options. Shockwave Medical is known as a U.S. provider of lithotripsy devices.
