Ablation is the process of removing or destroying tissue using heat or alternative energy forms. Ablation devices utilize various sources of energy to destroy tissue through ablation. Energy-based technologies used for ablation include electrical, laser, ultrasound, microwave, radiofrequency, intense focused ultrasound (IFU), and cryoablation. Ablation devices are minimally invasive instruments that help physicians treat both benign and cancerous tumors in various parts of the body, including the lungs, kidneys, liver, and many other areas. Increasing preference for minimally invasive procedures over traditional open surgical methods, a rise in chronic health conditions like cancer that require ablation treatment, and technological advancements in ablation systems are some of the major factors driving market revenue growth.
Market Dynamics:
The growing geriatric population, which is more prone to developing various chronic diseases like cancer, is a key factor fueling the demand for ablation devices worldwide. Additionally, increasing preference among physicians and patients for minimally invasive treatment methods as they offer benefits like reduced trauma, hospital stay, and recovery time is bolstering the adoption of ablation technology. However, the high costs associated with advanced ablation systems and procedures could hamper market expansion to some extent. On the other hand, ongoing research and development activities aimed at developing more innovative and effective ablation technologies open up lucrative opportunities for stakeholders. For instance, industry players are working on expanding indications of ablation therapies and leveraging artificial intelligence to optimize ablation treatment planning and delivery.
