Urology Laser Market by Product (Holmium Laser, Thulium Laser, Neodymium, Green Laser Light, Diode Laser, Erbium), Applications (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia [BPH], Kidney Stones, Tumor, Strictures) - Analysis and Global Forecasts to 2020
The urology laser is a rapidly growing field that has witnessed a number of technological advancements since its inception. Various products are now available in the market which is most commonly used in the surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia and as intracorporeal lithotripters. Additionally, the urology laser also finds it application in ablation of various urologic tumors and incising strictures of the upper- and lower urinary tract.
The demand for laser in urology procedure is rising due to efficient laser tissue interaction delivered by these systems. Also, advances in lasers and fiberoptics have created a combination of endoscopes (small-diameter endoscopic instruments) and laser technology that can reach in the parts of human body which are otherwise difficult to reach using hand or scalpel. Rising prevalence of kidney diseases and urinary tract infections, implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) in the U.S., technological advancements, and growing elderly population are other factors likely to propel market growth. Urinary tract infections are the second-most common type of infections, accounting for about 8.1 million visits to healthcare providers each year (Source: National Center for Health Statistics). In the U.S., over 20 million people suffer from some type of chronic kidney disease (Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)). The increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disorders will propel the growth of the urology laser market.
On the contrary, implementation of excise tax by the U.S. government and varied stringency of regulatory procedures are expected to restrain the growth of this market. Emerging economies such as India and China and launch of advanced products present an array of opportunities for this market.
The global urology laser market is broadly segmented into three categories: by laser type, by application, and by geography. The global urology laser market, by laser type is segmented into Holmium (HO:YAG), Thulium (THU:YAG), Neodymium (ND:YAG), KTP (Potassium Titanyl Phosphate), Diode Laser, Green Light Laser, Erbium:YAG Laser, LBO (Lithium Triborate), and Others. The global urology laser market, by application is segmented into BPH (Benign Prostate Hyperplasia), Stones, Tumors, Strictures, and Others. Geographically, the global urology laser market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW: Latin America, Middle East, and Africa).
Some of the major players in the global endourology equipment & consumables market include Olympus Corporation (Japan), Ethicon, Inc. (U.S.), Stryker Corporation (U.S.), Boston Scientific Corporation (U.S.), Richard Wolf GmbH (Germany), Cook Medical Incorporated (U.S.), KARL STORZ GmbH (Germany), Lumenis Ltd. (Israel), and others.
