The global radiofrequency-based devices market is predicted to reach US$ 10.7 Billion by 2030. Radiofrequency-based devices refer to a category of medical devices that use radiofrequency energy for various therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. These devices are used in a range of medical procedures, including cosmetic treatments, pain management, tumor ablation, and cardiac rhythm management. The growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, gynecological disorders, diabetes, and several others is a key factor driving the industry growth. As the global population ages, the incidence of such conditions increases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, by 2022, about 60% of American adults had a chronic disease, and 40% had two or more. This is significant, as chronic conditions often demand prolonged, repetitive treatments, where radiofrequency-based devices play a crucial role due to their minimally invasive nature. Furthermore, the market is witnessing the integration of radiofrequency technology with other treatment modalities, such as ultrasound and laser, for enhanced efficacy and efficiency. These advancements have significantly improved the quality of healthcare provided in the healthcare settings.
