Ablation Devices Global Market Report 2026

Ablation devices are medical instruments used to eliminate abnormal tissue growths or dysfunctional cells, such as tumors or cardiac arrhythmias, employing various energy sources such as heat, cold, or radiofrequency. These devices play a crucial role in minimally invasive procedures aimed at treating conditions ranging from cancer to heart rhythm disorders.

The primary types of ablation devices include laser ablators, radiofrequency ablators, microwave ablators, ultrasound ablators, electric ablators, hydrothermal ablators, and cryoablators. Laser ablators utilize laser energy for precise material removal or modification, commonly applied in industrial settings. The technology encompasses various methods such as radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, cryoablation, high-intensity focused ultrasound, laser interstitial thermal ablation, and others, often incorporating automated and robotic functionalities. These devices are utilized by diverse end-users including hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others.

Tariffs are impacting the ablation devices market by increasing import and component acquisition costs for electronic controllers, semiconductor modules, optical assemblies, and energy-delivery components used in laser, radiofrequency, microwave, ultrasound, cryoablation, and electrosurgical systems. Higher duties particularly affect regions relying on cross-border sourcing from Asia-Pacific and Europe, influencing procurement budgets for hospitals, clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers. However, tariffs are also encouraging localized manufacturing, regional supplier development, and cost-optimized product engineering, which support supply-chain resilience and stimulate innovation in next-generation ablation technologies.

This ablation devices 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 ablation devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.25 billion in 2025 to $10.12 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of cancer treatment procedures, rising adoption of ablation in cardiac arrhythmia management, growth in hospital installation of radiofrequency and laser ablation systems, expanding clinical acceptance of minimally invasive therapy alternatives, increasing usage of cryoablation and microwave ablation in specialty care.

The ablation devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.02 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for precision targeted tissue ablation technologies, growing adoption of robotic and automatic ablation systems, expansion of ablation applications across multiple therapeutic areas, increasing investment in outpatient and ambulatory surgical infrastructure, rising preference for minimally invasive procedures with faster recovery. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of minimally invasive ablation procedures across oncology and cardiology, rising utilization of radiofrequency and microwave ablation systems for targeted tissue destruction, growing preference for cryoablation and hydrothermal ablation in specialized clinical applications, expanding clinical use of laser and ultrasound ablation devices for precision therapeutic outcomes, increasing deployment of ablation technologies in ambulatory and outpatient surgical settings.

The rising incidence of cancer is anticipated to drive the growth of the microwave ablation devices market in the coming years. Cancer is a condition characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that can spread to other parts of the body. The increase in cancer cases is largely attributed to longer life expectancy, which raises the risk of age-related diseases such as cancer. Microwave ablation devices are used in cancer treatment by emitting electromagnetic waves that generate heat to destroy tumor cells. This targeted and minimally invasive technique helps preserve surrounding healthy tissue and supports faster patient recovery. For example, in February 2024, according to the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, more than 35 million new cancer cases were projected by 2050, representing a 77% increase compared to the estimated 20 million cases reported in 2022. As a result, the growing number of cancer cases is fueling the expansion of the microwave ablation devices market.

Major companies operating in the microwave ablation devices market are emphasizing the development of advanced products with regulatory approvals, such as high-precision microwave ablation systems, to enhance patient outcomes in minimally invasive cancer treatments. A high-precision microwave ablation system is an advanced medical device that uses focused microwave energy to accurately destroy tumor tissue. It delivers controlled heat to targeted areas while minimizing damage to adjacent healthy structures, thereby improving safety and treatment effectiveness. For instance, in January 2024, Hygea Medical Technology Co. Ltd., a China-based medical device manufacturer, received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its EXCEED microwave treatment system and EXACT series microwave ablation probes. This approval followed prior clearance from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and was obtained through an expedited review process. The FDA clearance confirms the safety, performance, and quality of Hygea's products for the treatment of various solid tumors in soft tissues, marking a key milestone in the company's international expansion, particularly in the U.S. microwave ablation market. This system complements existing cancer therapies by providing a high-precision, minimally invasive thermal ablation solution.

In July 2024, Creo Medical Group plc, a UK-based manufacturer of flexible microwave ablation devices, entered into a partnership with Intuitive Surgical Inc. to advance minimally invasive lung cancer treatment. The collaboration is intended to integrate Creo's MicroBlate Flex and Kamaptive technologies with Intuitive's Ion Endoluminal System, supporting expanded clinical studies and improving precision in lung cancer diagnosis and ablation across the UK and Europe. Intuitive Surgical Inc. is a US-based provider of minimally invasive care and a pioneer in robotic surgery.
