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.
Tariffs are influencing the lithotripsy device market by increasing costs of imported shock wave generators, laser components, ultrasound systems, imaging modules, and precision mechanical parts. Hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported high-technology equipment, while Asia-Pacific faces increased manufacturing and export costs. These tariffs are raising capital investment requirements and delaying equipment upgrades. However, they are also encouraging domestic device assembly, regional supplier development, and innovation in cost-efficient lithotripsy technologies.
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 strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.91 billion in 2025 to $2.03 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing incidence of kidney stone disease, adoption of extracorporeal shock wave technology, expansion of urology specialty centers, improvements in imaging-guided stone targeting, wider clinical acceptance of lithotripsy procedures.
The lithotripsy device market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.61 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for minimally invasive urology treatments, advancements in laser and ultrasound technologies, rising outpatient surgical volumes, expansion of urology care infrastructure, growing adoption of portable lithotripsy systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of non-invasive stone treatment methods, rising use of laser-based lithotripsy systems, growing preference for outpatient lithotripsy procedures, expansion of compact and mobile lithotripsy devices, enhanced focus on treatment precision.
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. For example, in June 2025, data released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), a United States-based federal agency, showed that national health expenditure grew by 7.5%, reaching USD 4.9 trillion and representing 17.6% of the country's gross domestic product in 2023. This substantial rise in healthcare expenditures is a driving force behind the growth of the lithotripsy device market.
Leading companies operating in the lithotripsy device space are increasingly concentrating on the development of advanced solutions, including non-invasive ultrasound-based lithotripsy systems, as alternatives to conventional high-energy shock wave technologies. Non-invasive ultrasound lithotripsy systems utilize low-amplitude ultrasound waves to fragment kidney stones, thereby reducing the need for anesthesia and minimizing patient discomfort. For instance, in April 2025, Sonomotion Inc., a United States-based medical device company, completed patient enrollment for a pivotal clinical trial of its Break Wave(TM) System. This system enables kidney stone fragmentation in fully conscious patients without relying on traditional shockwave therapy or surgical intervention. When combined with complementary solutions such as the Stone Clear(TM) device for removing residual stone fragments, the system delivers a fully non-invasive stone management approach. The Break Wave System enhances patient comfort, improves procedural efficiency, and has the potential to shorten hospital stays while lowering overall treatment costs.
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.
