Kidney stone retrieval devices encompass a range of medical instruments specifically designed to capture, reposition, and extract stones of various sizes and complexities from the kidneys. These devices are instrumental in the removal of kidney stones from the body.
The primary products within kidney stone retrieval devices include lithotripters, stone removal baskets, ureterorenoscopes, ureteral stents, among others. Lithotripters are machines that employ shock waves to fragment kidney and gallstones while the patient is seated in a water-filled tub. This process is utilized to break down kidney stones within the body. Kidney stones, which can form due to hypercalciuria, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, and other causes, are treated using methods such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, and intracorporeal ureteroscopy. These devices find applications in hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialized clinics, contributing significantly to the treatment and management of kidney stones for patients.
Tariffs are influencing the kidney stone retrieval devices market by increasing costs of imported medical-grade metals, polymers, optical components, and precision manufacturing equipment used in lithotripters, baskets, and scopes. Hospitals and specialty clinics in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported advanced urology devices, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on device exports. These tariffs are increasing device acquisition costs and slowing replacement cycles. At the same time, they are supporting localized manufacturing, regional supplier development, and innovation in cost-efficient and reusable stone retrieval technologies.
The kidney stone retrieval devices market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides kidney stone retrieval devices market statistics, including kidney stone retrieval devices industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a kidney stone retrieval devices market share, detailed kidney stone retrieval devices market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the kidney stone retrieval devices industry. This kidney stone retrieval 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 kidney stone retrieval devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.96 billion in 2025 to $3.14 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising incidence of kidney stone disease, increasing availability of endourology procedures, expansion of urology departments in hospitals, adoption of shock wave lithotripsy, growth in specialty clinics.
The kidney stone retrieval devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.03 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related disorders, rising demand for outpatient stone removal procedures, expansion of ambulatory surgery centers, technological advancements in urology devices, growing focus on reducing procedure time and recovery periods. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of minimally invasive stone retrieval techniques, rising use of flexible and disposable retrieval devices, growing integration of advanced imaging and navigation tools, expansion of laser-assisted stone management procedures, enhanced focus on patient comfort and procedural efficiency.
The increasing proportion of elderly individuals is expected to contribute to the growth of the kidney stone retrieval device market moving forward. The aging population refers to a demographic trend marked by a higher percentage or rising number of older individuals within a specific community or society. Kidney stone retrieval devices provide various benefits for the aging population by offering effective and minimally invasive treatment options for kidney issues, reducing recovery times, and catering to the specific health challenges faced by older adults. For example, in June 2025, the United States Census Bureau, a United States-based government agency, reported that the senior population in the country increased by 3.1% between 2023 and 2024, reaching 61.2 million individuals aged 65 years and above. The agency also noted that the national median age rose by 0.2 years to 38.9 years in 2022, indicating a continued aging trend. Thus, the growing proportion of elderly individuals is driving the expansion of the kidney stone retrieval device market.
Major players in the kidney stone retrieval device market are strategically investing in the development of robotic-assisted systems to enhance their market profitability. A robotic-assisted system in the context of kidney stone retrieval involves leveraging robotic technology to aid and improve the process of removing kidney stones from the patient's urinary system. A notable example is the MONARCH platform developed by Ethicon Inc., a US-based medtech company and subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, unveiled in February 2023. Recognized as the first flexible robotic system cleared for bronchoscopy and urology procedures, the MONARCH platform facilitates precise kidney access for urologists. Introduced at UCI Health, it aims to enhance outcomes through a clinical study demonstrating improved navigation and control in mini-PCNL procedures. With FDA clearance and noteworthy benefits, including achieving stone-free patients in a single procedure and an 80% reduction in radiation exposure, the MONARCH platform represents a safer and more efficient approach to kidney stone removal.
In May 2024, KARL STORZ, a Germany-based medical technology company, announced an exclusive distribution agreement in the United States with Well Lead Medical for the ClearPetra stone-removal system. Through this collaboration, KARL STORZ seeks to broaden its urology product portfolio in the United States by incorporating an advanced suction and evacuation technology that improves the efficiency of kidney stone removal procedures and enhances clinical outcomes. Well Lead Medical is a China-based medical device manufacturer focused on urological access products, including the ClearPetra suction-evacuation ureteral access sheath developed for minimally invasive kidney stone management.
