According to FutureWise analysis the market for extracorporeal lithotripsy systems is expected to register a CAGR of 6.82% from 2025-2033.
Extracorporeal Lithotripsy is a non-invasive treatment of kidney stones of the upper urinary tract. This treatment uses shock waves (pulses of energy) to breakdown stones in the kidney and urinary tract. The shock waves are produced by machine and are focused onto the stone using x-ray and ultrasonic guidance. The waves pass through the skin and break up the stones into tiny fragments, later which will pass through urine. This non-invasive approach allows patients to be rendered stone-free without surgical intervention or endoscopic procedures.
Extracorporeal lithotripsy systems are non-invasive and minimize the complications associated with alternative methods. They have a huge demand in treating renal stones and more advantageous over open and endoscopic procedures. Traditional methods have a lot of limitation in their applicability for treating renal stones due to lack of technological advancement. It created a huge demand for extracorporeal lithotripsy systems in primary healthcare settings. It is further boosted by technological advancements and led to the rapid growth of the market. Additionally, the market is expected to witness huge capital investments in R D to strengthen the product portfolio of the company. It created new opportunistic space in untapped markets and encouraged new market players to enter the market.
The Asia Pacific is a high potential region for both international and domestic manufacturers due to the high prevalence of renal stones. It expected to represent the fast-growing region in the global market. Latin America is the second fast-growing region due to increasing adoption and rising awareness. Global market is dominated by North America due to the high spending capacity of the patient population and well established reimbursement policies. Europe is the second leading region in the global market due to high awareness among the population. Both North America and Europe is expected to represent slow-growing regions in the global market due to the high intensity of manufactures. Rest of World is expected to account small fraction in the global market and it is expected to increase significantly during the forecast period.
