Growth drivers
Increasing cases of kidney disease
Various kidney disorders, including hemolytic uremic syndrome, renal cysts, cystic kidney disease, chronic kidney disease, and lupus nephritis, contribute to the increased incidence of kidney failure. Early diagnosis and prompt medical intervention are crucial in the management of these conditions. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) affects over 500,000 Americans each year, according to a September 2021 paper published in the National Institutes of Health. Age is an important factor influencing the prevalence of CKD, with the highest rate of progression observed in individuals over 60 years of age. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) reported that over 786,000 people in the United States were affected by ESRD in 2020, with 71% requiring dialysis and 29% needing a kidney transplant. To combat this issue, government assistance through reimbursement and product innovation for low-cost and effective treatments is expected to boost the urology surgical instruments market.
Increasing the number of hospitals investing in endoscopy and laparoscopy facilities
The growing preference for minimally invasive techniques has led to an increasing number of hospitals investing in endoscopy and laparoscopy facilities. Hospitals are expanding existing endoscopy units and acquiring new technology to meet patient demands. Similar trends are seen around the world, with the launch of the new Greater Greater Manchester Modular Endoscopy Unit in Bury by Fairfield General Hospital in January 2021. This facility was created to support the provision of the endoscopy service, which was disrupted by the pandemic. The demand for urology surgical instruments, such as endoscopes and endovision systems, is expected to increase as hospitals invest in modern instruments and expand their units. The creation of new centers further contributes to the progress of the market.
Growth Challenges
Premium Price
The high cost of urology endoscopes and endoscopy systems, especially in price-sensitive markets such as Asia Pacific, hinders market growth. Healthcare providers, especially in developing countries such as Brazil and Mexico, often lack the financial capacity to invest in expensive and complex equipment. Additionally, training staff members in the proper use and maintenance of urology surgical instruments is essential to prevent cross-contamination and infections. However, the costs associated with the maintenance and reprocessing of these instruments can increase. Consequently, doctors and consumers often choose less expensive alternative treatments. Lack of supportive FDA reviews for medical devices also poses a measurable threat to the expansion of the urology surgical instruments market.
Overview of key segments
Consumables and accessories Dominant category
In the global urology surgical instruments market, the consumables and accessories segment holds the largest share of revenue. This segment is driven by frequent use and availability. As urological procedures increase globally, the demand for consumables and accessories is expected to increase. The segment includes stone baskets/retrieval devices, fluid lavage tools, stents, forceps and needle holders, connecting tubes, distal attachments, clamps, drainage bags, clamps, biopsy tools, catheters, dilation sets, ureteral access sheaths , guide wires, surgical dissectors and other related items.
Endoscopes as an important product category
Endoscopes represent the second largest product category in the urology surgical instruments market. The growing need for less invasive approaches to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures is driving the demand for endoscopes. Factors contributing to increased demand include investments by private players, public sector grants or funds, increasing number of hospitals and clinics, and introduction of technologically advanced products.
CKD remains a prominent category
The CKD segment holds the largest market share among applications and is expected to continue to grow as the leading application category. This can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of CKD, the expansion of clinical trials for noninvasive therapies, and global government initiatives. Early identification and therapy are essential in managing CKD and preventing further kidney damage. Failure to receive treatment can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a life-threatening condition. Consequently, the demand for urological interventions to control kidney diseases is driven by their increasing occurrence and associated health consequences.
