According to the Market Statsville Group (MSG), the global Disposable Ureteroscopes Market size is expected to grow from USD 2,037.6 million in 2022 to USD 8,778.8 million by 2033 at a CAGR of 14.2% from 2023 to 2033.
A ureteroscope is a medical device that is a thin tube-like device with illuminating light and a lens that is used to capture images of complex urinary tract organs to check for the presence of calculi or tumors. For the diagnosis and treatment of kidney stones, it is passed through the urethra to the bladder and then into the ureter. The device aids in understanding the position of the kidney stone and in the treatment of kidney stone removal. Compared to traditional kidney stone removal methods such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), and others, it is a minimally invasive procedure has shown higher accuracy and a lower rate of complications.
The rising prevalence of urologic cancers and the increasing incidence of kidney stones due to changes in dietary habits and weather conditions are expected to drive the global ureteroscopes market during the forecast period. Furthermore, increasing R&D activities in flexible video-ureteroscopes, the invention of disposable ureteroscope devices, and the increasing adoption of technologically advanced ureteroscopes are propelling the global ureteroscopes market. However, the high cost of digital and reusable ureteroscopes devices is one factor limiting the growth of the global ureteroscopes market.
The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the ureteroscope market. The pandemic imposed lockdowns, travel restrictions, and changes in healthcare facility setup, causing healthcare facilities to prioritize procedures as emergent and non-emergent, resulting in postponement and reduction in the number of procedures and harming the market's revenue earnings. Furthermore, regulatory changes affecting procedures and supply chain disruptions during the pandemic slowed market growth.
The rising prevalence of chronic kidney disease and rapid advances in optical imaging and product performance are propelling the disposable ureteroscope market. According to CDC data from 2021, the prevalence of chronic kidney diseases was highest in people aged 65 and up (38 percent), followed by people aged 45-64 (12 percent), and finally, people aged 18-44 (12 percent) (6 percent ). Individuals with cardiovascular disease and diabetes are more likely to develop chronic kidney disease, which directly impacts the demand for minimally invasive procedures like ureteroscopy. A significant increase in the procedure rate is expected to increase ureteroscopy adoption. Kidney stones can be removed using a basket attached to a ureteroscope or broken down and excreted through urine outside the body. Highcosts associated with the manufacturing of ureteroscopes limit the market growth.
Some of the key trends driving the market are technological advancements in the field of optical imaging and continuous improvement in the performance of ureteroscopes. Disposable ureteroscopes are increasingly being used to reduce the occurrence of hospital-acquired infections and contamination risk, resulting in high-quality patient care with improved economic viability.
The study categorizes the disposable ureteroscopes market based on product, application and end-user at regional and global levels.
