High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive therapeutic method that utilizes concentrated ultrasound waves to produce localized heat, effectively destroying targeted tissue while preserving the surrounding healthy areas. It is widely applied in the treatment of conditions such as tumors, uterine fibroids, and certain cancers, including prostate and liver cancer.
The primary types of HIFU devices include standalone HIFU systems, portable HIFU devices, combination HIFU systems, robotic HIFU systems, and ultrasound-guided HIFU devices. Standalone HIFU devices are self-contained systems that operate independently, without the need for additional imaging or surgical equipment. These treatments can be conducted through noninvasive or minimally invasive approaches. HIFU is used in a range of applications, including uterine fibroids, prostate cancer, essential tremor, dermatology, breast cancer, glaucoma, back pain, and facetogenic conditions. It is commonly utilized by various end users such as hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, clinics, research organizations, and home care environments.
Tariffs have influenced the high intensity focused ultrasound market by affecting the import and export of ultrasound devices and precision components, leading to increased production costs and supply chain disruptions. The impact is most notable on portable and combination HIFU devices, particularly in regions like North America and Europe that rely on imports from Asia-Pacific hubs. While some manufacturers face cost pressures, tariffs have also encouraged local manufacturing and innovation, driving efficiency and the development of cost-optimized HIFU solutions.
The high intensity focused ultrasound (hifu) market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides high intensity focused ultrasound (hifu) market statistics, including high intensity focused ultrasound (hifu) industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a high intensity focused ultrasound (hifu) market share, detailed high intensity focused ultrasound (hifu) market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the high intensity focused ultrasound (hifu) industry. This high intensity focused ultrasound (hifu) 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 high intensity focused ultrasound (hifu) market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.66 billion in 2025 to $1.84 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of uterine fibroids, rising incidence of prostate cancer, advancements in ultrasound technology, growing awareness about non-invasive therapies, availability of skilled healthcare professionals.
The high intensity focused ultrasound (hifu) market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.76 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to technological advancements in robotic hifu systems, integration of ai and imaging for precision therapy, growing adoption in emerging markets, increasing investments in healthcare infrastructure, expansion of home care and portable hifu devices. Major trends in the forecast period include focused ultrasound in oncology, expansion of non-invasive therapeutics, integration with imaging modalities, portable & home-based hifu solutions, minimally invasive pain management.
The increasing incidence of prostate cancer is anticipated to drive the expansion of the high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) market in the coming years. Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the prostate gland of men, generally progressing slowly but with the potential to become aggressive and metastasize if left untreated. The growth in prostate cancer cases is primarily linked to an aging population, as the risk of developing the disease rises significantly with age. High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treats prostate cancer by employing concentrated ultrasound waves to generate intense heat that accurately targets and destroys cancerous tissue in the prostate while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. For example, in January 2025, Prostate Cancer UK, a UK-based nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing prostate cancer research, awareness, and patient support, reported that 50,751 men in England were diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2022, increasing to 55,033 cases in 2023. Consequently, the growing prevalence of prostate cancer is fueling the growth of the high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) market.
Leading companies in the high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) market are developing innovative non-invasive surgical technologies to enhance treatment precision, minimize patient recovery time, and reduce the risks associated with traditional surgical methods. These non-invasive surgical devices treat internal conditions without requiring incisions, instead using methods such as focused ultrasound or lasers to target tissues with accuracy. For instance, in April 2025, EDAP TMS S.A., a France-based manufacturer of minimally invasive medical devices, launched the advanced focal one i system to improve the precision and effectiveness of non-invasive prostate cancer therapy. This system integrates advanced imaging technologies like PSMA PET and micro-ultrasound with AI-powered algorithms to deliver personalized robotic HIFU therapy. It also offers improved workflow integration and features for remote collaboration, aiming to enhance treatment accuracy, reduce side effects, and expand access to expert care through real-time streaming and remote support.
In April 2023, Florida Atlantic University (FAU), a public research university in the United States, entered into a partnership with Insightec Ltd. to promote research and clinical use of focused ultrasound, including both high-intensity and low-intensity applications, for treating neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Insightec Ltd. is a medical device company based in Israel that specializes in high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology.
