Lithotripsy devices are specialized medical instruments designed for the lithotripsy procedure, employing shock waves to target and disintegrate solid deposits within the body, commonly found in the kidneys, gallbladder, or urinary tract.
The primary categories of lithotripsy devices encompass extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) devices, intracorporeal lithotripsy devices, laser lithotripsy devices, electrohydraulic lithotripsy devices, ultrasonic lithotripsy devices, and mechanical lithotripsy devices. ESWL devices, for instance, utilize shock waves generated externally to break down kidney stones and find applications in various medical scenarios such as kidney stones, ureteral stones, pancreatic stones, and bile duct stones. These advanced medical tools cater to diverse end-users, including hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities, reflecting their versatility and efficacy in addressing stone-related medical conditions.
The lithotripsy devices research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides lithotripsy devices market statistics, including the lithotripsy devices industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with a lithotripsy devices market share, detailed lithotripsy devices market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the lithotripsy devices industry. This lithotripsy devices market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The lithotripsy devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.25 billion in 2024 to $1.31 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the introduction of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), clinical evidence and research, patient preference for non-invasive treatments, market penetration in healthcare facilities, regulatory approvals and standards, physician training and education
The lithotripsy devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.63 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing prevalence of urolithiasis, rising geriatric population, the shift towards minimally invasive procedures, the preference for outpatient treatments, and increasing adoption of sedation-free techniques. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of disposable devices, collaborative multi-disciplinary care, remote monitoring and telemedicine integration, non-invasive alternatives, and expansion of home-based lithotripsy.
The increasing geriatric population worldwide is anticipated to boost the growth of the lithotripsy device market in the coming years. The geriatric demographic generally includes individuals aged 65 and older. The rising incidence of kidney stones and urolithiasis, particularly among this aging population, creates a demand for lithotripsy devices that facilitate minimally invasive procedures for kidney stone removal and urolithiasis treatment. For example, in October 2022, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, projected that by 2030, one in six people globally would be 60 years old or older. During this timeframe, the population aged 60 and above is expected to grow from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. Furthermore, by 2050, the global population of individuals aged 60 and older is predicted to double, reaching 2.1 billion. Consequently, the expanding geriatric population worldwide is driving the growth of the lithotripsy device market in the future.
The projected growth of the lithotripsy device market is expected to be driven by the increasing prevalence of kidney stones. Kidney stones, characterized by hard deposits of minerals and salts forming within the kidneys, prompt the demand for lithotripsy, a minimally invasive procedure designed to break down stones into smaller fragments for easier passage through the urinary tract. Notably, a study published in December 2022 by BMC Urology revealed a 21.1% prevalence of kidney stones in the population aged 40-70 years in southern Iran, with a higher incidence among men. Consequently, the rising occurrence of kidney stones serves as a catalyst for the prospective growth of the lithotripsy device market.
A significant trend influencing the lithotripsy device market is the adoption of technological advancements by major industry players. Leading companies within the market are actively investing in the development of advanced devices to maintain their competitive edge. An illustrative example is Cardiovascular Systems Inc., a US-based medical device manufacturer specializing in lithotripsy, which introduced intravascular lithotripsy technology in January 2022. This innovative technology is designed for treating coronary and peripheral artery diseases, allowing Cardiovascular Systems Inc. to provide products addressing a wide spectrum of calcific coronary lesions. The integration of such advanced technologies reflects a key trend shaping the landscape of the lithotripsy device market.
Prominent enterprises in the lithotripsy device market are strategically focusing on product advancements, exemplified by the introduction of innovations such as the peripheral intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) catheter. This specialized medical device is designed to streamline the treatment duration of IVL, particularly in addressing blockages within the arteries of the legs and feet. A notable illustration is the initiative undertaken by Shockwave Medical, Inc., a US-based provider of medical devices for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease treatment. In March 2022, Shockwave Medical unveiled the Shockwave M5+ peripheral IVL catheter, having secured both CE Mark and USFDA clearance. This cutting-edge peripheral catheter introduces significant enhancements, facilitating efficient and effective treatment, even for challenging cases that were previously deemed difficult to address with IVL.
In September 2022, Advanced MedTech Solutions, a Singapore-based medical device and technology manufacturer, successfully acquired Wikkon for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition positions Advanced MedTech Solutions to gain entry into the urology market in China, securing access to Wikkon's China-based device platform, a local sales force, and a medical device manufacturing strategy. Wikkon, a China-based innovative manufacturer specializing in lithotripsy and urology devices, brings valuable capabilities and assets to Advanced MedTech Solutions through this acquisition.
