A laser lithotripsy device uses laser energy to break kidney and urinary tract stones into smaller fragments that can be more easily removed or passed, offering precise treatment with reduced risk of damage to surrounding tissues.
The primary types of laser lithotripsy devices include holmium yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser lithotripsy, thulium fiber laser lithotripsy, and others. Holmium YAG laser lithotripsy is an advanced urological technique used to fragment kidney stones of varying sizes and compositions to facilitate natural elimination. These systems are available in low-power, mid-power, and high-power configurations and are distributed through channels such as direct sales and distributors for applications across hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and research institutes. They are used by both public and private end users.
Tariffs are impacting the laser lithotripsy devices market by increasing the cost of imported laser components, optical fibers, and high-precision electronics. Segments like high-power and portable laser systems are most impacted, particularly in regions such as Asia-Pacific including China and India. These tariffs have led to higher production and procurement costs, creating supply chain challenges. Positively, tariffs encourage local manufacturing, investment in domestic production, and innovation in cost-efficient laser systems for regional markets.
The laser lithotripsy devices market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides laser lithotripsy devices market statistics, including laser lithotripsy devices industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a laser lithotripsy devices market share, detailed laser lithotripsy devices market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the laser lithotripsy devices industry. This laser lithotripsy 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 laser lithotripsy devices market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.4 billion in 2025 to $2.67 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of advanced laser systems, reliance on traditional surgical stone removal methods, growing prevalence of kidney and urinary tract stones, increasing urology department expansions in hospitals, early adoption of holmium yag lasers.
The laser lithotripsy devices market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.04 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to development of thulium fiber laser technology, rising preference for minimally invasive procedures, expansion of outpatient surgical centers, integration of laser lithotripsy with digital imaging and navigation systems, increasing investments in research and urology device innovations. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of minimally invasive urological procedures, increasing demand for portable laser lithotripsy devices, focus on high-power and efficient laser systems, growth in ambulatory surgical centers and outpatient treatments, advancements in laser safety and patient monitoring.
The increasing incidence of kidney diseases is increasingly supporting the expansion of the laser lithotripsy device market going forward. The rise in kidney diseases is largely associated with increasing rates of diabetes and hypertension, which progressively impair kidney function. In addition, lifestyle factors such as obesity and physical inactivity further contribute to the growing burden of kidney-related conditions. Laser lithotripsy devices are widely used to break kidney stones into smaller fragments, allowing easier passage or removal through minimally invasive procedures. For example, in June 2023, according to Kidney Research UK, a UK-based charitable organization, approximately 7.19 million people in the UK were affected by chronic kidney disease in 2023, representing more than 10% of the population, with projections indicating an increase to 7.61 million by 2033. Consequently, the rising incidence of kidney diseases is strengthening demand for laser lithotripsy devices.
Leading companies in the laser lithotripsy devices market are advancing energy modulation technologies, including high-power and pulse-modulated laser systems, to enhance stone fragmentation efficiency, reduce retropulsion, and minimize tissue damage. These systems deliver energy in precisely controlled pulse patterns, supporting more effective and patient-friendly lithotripsy procedures. For example, in July 2025, biolitec, a Germany-based medical technology company, introduced the LEONARDO Duster, a super-pulsed thulium fiber laser offering improved dusting performance, low retropulsion, and high stone vaporization rates. Although based on thulium fiber technology, this launch reflects the broader industry shift toward next-generation lithotripsy solutions driven by the limitations of traditional holmium laser systems.
In January 2025, Boston Scientific Corporation, a US-based manufacturing company, acquired Bolt Medical, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Boston Scientific Corporation seeks to expand and reinforce its cardiovascular portfolio through the addition of Bolt's next-generation intravascular lithotripsy technology. Bolt Medical, Inc. is a US-based medical equipment manufacturer that provides laser-based intravascular lithotripsy catheters for the treatment of calcified arterial disease.
