Global Cervical Dilator Market -2024-2031


Global cervical dilator market reached US$ YY million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ YY million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of YY% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Cervical dilators are medical devices that are designed to gradually expand or widen the cervix, which is the narrow opening of the uterus that connects the uterus to the vagina. These devices are used in various gynecological procedures that require access to the uterus, such as dilation and curettage (D&C), hysteroscopy, endometrial biopsy and certain childbirth procedures.

The cervix naturally dilates during childbirth to allow the passage of the baby through the birth canal. However, in medical settings, cervical dilation may be necessary to perform diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Cervical dilators come in various types, including metal dilators, plastic dilators, laminaria tents and hygroscopic dilators. Each type has its advantages and applications depending on the specific medical procedure and patient requirements. The choice of dilator depends on factors such as the patient's anatomy, the intended procedure, the healthcare provider's preference and the availability of resources.

Market Dynamics: Drivers

Rising awareness about women's health

The rising awareness about women’s health is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. Greater awareness about gynecological conditions and the importance of regular screenings can lead to early detection and treatment of disorders such as cervical cancer, fibroids and endometriosis. This, in turn, may result in a higher demand for diagnostic procedures involving cervical dilators.

For instance, in October 2023, the EMBRACE trial suggests that regular vaginal dilation or sexual activity among patients with cervical cancer may reduce the risk of experiencing significant vaginal shortening after chemoradiation. These results, presented at the 2023 ASTRO Annual Meeting, align with clinical guidelines for postradiotherapy care in cancer survivors. In this cohort of 882 patients, 64% reported actively engaging in sexual activity or vaginal dilation at 50% of their follow-up appointments and the incidence of moderate vaginal shortening in these patients was 23% after 5 years of treatment.

Heightened awareness about preventive care and women's health screenings encourages women to seek regular check-ups and consultations with healthcare providers. As a result, healthcare facilities witness an increase in the volume of gynecological procedures, including those requiring cervical dilation. With greater awareness comes a demand for advanced medical technologies and treatments. Patients and healthcare providers seek out innovative solutions, including minimally invasive procedures that require the use of specialized cervical dilators. This can drive market growth by fostering innovation and product development in the cervical dilators segment.

Restraints

Factors such as the high cost of cervical dilators, stringent regulatory requirements, availability of alternative treatment options, risk of complications and unmet needs and uncertainties are the factors expected to hamper the market.

Segment Analysis

The global cervical dilator market is segmented based on product type, material, application, end-user and region.

The hygroscopic dilators segment accounted for approximately 45.3% of the cervical dilator market share

The hygroscopic dilators segment is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. Hygroscopic dilators are known to offer a gentle and gradual method of cervical dilation. They expand slowly over time as they absorb moisture from cervical fluids by allowing for controlled and predictable dilation without the need for mechanical manipulation. This gradual dilation is particularly useful in procedures where precision and patient comfort are crucial.

Hygroscopic dilators are typically made from natural substances such as laminaria or synthetic materials designed to be biocompatible. This means they are generally well-tolerated by patients and have a low risk of causing adverse reactions. Hygroscopic dilators have been used in clinical practice for many years and have a track record of effectiveness and safety.

For instance, Dilapan was clinically introduced with the advantage over Laminaria of assured sterility, more ergonomic shape and superior dilating properties. Dilapan is a hygroscopic cervical dilator made from patented hydrogel, which leads to the absorption of fluid from cervical cells, thereby leading to cell membrane dehydration and softening along with mechanical dilation. A large population-based study that included 543 women found Dilapan-S to be safe and effective for cervical ripening.

Geographical Analysis

North America accounted for approximately 43.3% of the market share

North America region is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period owing to the strong presence of major players and high prevalence of gynecological disorders. North America especially the United States is very well-known for its strong presence of major players such as medical device companies. This presence of major market players in the region aims to develop advanced cervical dilators with various advantages.

In addition, the region has a relatively high prevalence of gynecological disorders such as cervical cancer, endometriosis and others. The demand for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures involving cervical dilators is consequently higher in this region compared to others.

For instance, the American Cancer Society's estimates for cervical cancer in the United States for 2024 are about 13,820 new cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed and about 4,360 women will die from cervical cancer. Cervical pre-cancers are diagnosed far more often than invasive cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is most frequently diagnosed in women between the ages of 35 and 44, with the average age being 50. It rarely develops in women younger than 20.

Competitive Landscape

The major global players in the cervical dilator market include CooperSurgical Inc., MEDGYN PRODUCTS, INC., Sklar Surgical Instruments, Marina Medical Inc., Surtex Instruments Limited, Hologic, Inc., Medline Industries, LP., Medicem, Inc., Hayden Medical Inc. and Eurosurgical Ltd among others.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the global cervical dilator market. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has a major impact on a wide range of health outcomes. Disruptions of elective health services related to cervical screening, management of abnormal screening test results and treatment of precancers, may lead to increases in cervical cancer incidence and exacerbate existing health disparities.

To conserve healthcare resources and minimize the risk of virus transmission, many healthcare facilities postponed elective procedures, including gynecological surgeries that may require cervical dilators. This led to a decline in demand for cervical dilators during the peak periods of the pandemic.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
