The global lithotripters market size reached US$ 1.7 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 2.5 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.93% during 2024-2032. The growing prevalence of urolithiasis, increasing geriatric population, and rising consumer preferences for minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Lithotripters are non-invasive medical devices that pulverize stones by passing a series of electromagnetic shock waves through the water bath. They comprise a metal sheath covering and a polyethylene catheter, which contains the basket and the end of the catheter is connected to the lithotripter handle. They provide the maximum energy required to break the hard stone into fine particles that are enough to be passed naturally in the urine of the patient. They assist surgeons in removing stones present in the urinary system, pancreas, and bile ducts while leaving the surrounding soft tissue virtually unaffected. In addition, lithotripters have targeting systems that use fluoroscopy, ultrasonography, and a combination of both modalities. At present, they are increasingly being used in hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs)across the globe.
The rising geriatric population and the rising prevalence of urolithiasis represent one of the key factors positively influencing the market. The unhealthy dietary patterns, shifting preferences towards ready-to-eat (RTE) foods, and hectic lifestyles of individuals are resulting in the rising cases of kidney, gall bladder, and liver stones. This, in turn, is also creating a positive outlook for the market. In addition, the growing awareness among individuals about the benefits of lithotripsy over conventional surgical stone removal methods is driving the market. Apart from this, shifting consumer inclination towards minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) for lesser pain and scars, shorter recovery periods, smaller incisions, increased accuracy, and decreased risk of complications is catalyzing the demand for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) procedures. Furthermore, favorable regulations imposed by governments of various countries to educate people about the benefits of early diagnosis and treatment are strengthening the market growth. Additionally, they are increasingly investing in the healthcare industry to improve the infrastructure, which is offering a favorable market outlook. Besides this, the advent of new and advanced technologies, such as electromechanical and pneumatic impact lithotripsy, is propelling the market growth. Moreover, the expansion of hospitals and surgical centers is driving the global demand for lithotripters. Furthermore, leading market players are engaging in alliances, acquisitions, partnerships with international clients, and new product launches to expand their market reach.
