Kidney Stones Management Market Analysis And Forecast To 2031: By Type (Calcium Oxalate, Calcium Phosphate, Uric Acid, Struvite, Cysteine), By Diagnostics (Abdominal X-ray, Computed Tomography, Ultrasound, Abdominal MRI, Intravenous Pyelography), By Treatment (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy {ESWL}, Ureteroscopy, Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy {PCNL}), And Region
The global kidney stones management market was valued at USD 1.8 Billion in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow up to USD 4.1 Billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period.
Kidney stones management is a process of treating and preventing the formation of kidney stones. Kidney stones are small, hard deposits that form in the kidney. They can cause pain and block the flow of urine. Treatment may involve passing the stone, breaking it up, or removing it surgically. Prevention of kidney stones includes drinking plenty of fluids, eating a healthy diet, and avoiding certain medications.
Market Trends and Drivers
Technological advances in ureteroscopy technique used in kidney stones treatment to propel the market progression.
The ureteroscopy procedure has seen considerable technological advancements in recent years. One of the most significant innovations that has transformed the treatment of intrarenal and proximal kidney stones is the introduction of flexible ureteroscopes. Flexible scopes are lower in size and have a greater capacity to deflect than stiff versions. This is accompanied by improved instrumentation, such as the inclusion of working channels, a larger distal tip, active and secondary deflection, and narrower shaft diameters. These advancements have broadened the technique's application to treat various conditions such as urothelial cancer and ureteral strictures. Furthermore, advancements in picture quality due to the use of digital imaging and high-definition cameras have resulted in improved vision of stones and more accurate treatment, thereby enhancing the industry.
Market Restraints and Challenges
Lithotripsy is the use of shock waves to shatter kidney stones into small bits that can readily move through the urinary tract and out of the body. This is a popular and successful treatment for kidney stones. However, side effects of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) include infections, bleeding around the kidneys, stone recurrence, an increase in arterial blood pressure, and urinary tract blockage due to fractured stones. These side effects could limit the size of the kidney stone management market. Furthermore, lithotripsy causes tissue damage, which might lead to long-term consequences, impeding industrial growth.
Global Kidney Stones Management Market Segmental Overview
The report analyses the global kidney stones management market based on type, diagnostics, treatment, and region.
Global Kidney Stones Management Market by Type
Based on type, the market is segregated as Calcium Oxalate, Calcium Phosphate, Uric Acid, Struvite, and Cysteine. The Calcium Oxalate segment is expected to expand at the fastest rate during the forecast period. Calcium oxalate kidney stones are frequent in the body and form as a result of a high quantity of oxalate in the urine and a lack of water consumption. Various risk factors, such as a diet high in protein, oxalate, sodium, or sugar, may also contribute to the production of calcium oxalate stones.
Global Kidney Stones Management Market by Diagnostics
Based on the diagnostics, the kidney stones management market is divided into the Abdominal X-ray, Computed Tomography, Ultrasound, Abdominal MRI, and Intravenous Pyelography. Out of these computed tomography segment was valued significant market size in 2021 and is anticipated to grow at highest CAGR from 2022-2030. Computed tomography (CT) segment in the kidney stones management market is slated to reach USD 991.5 million by 2028. Computed tomography is widely used imaging modality for kidney stones diagnosis, as it enables three dimensional views of stone. The technology obtains multiple numbers of data points with the aid of radiation source rotating around the patient forming three dimensional images. These detailed images derived using CT scanners enable healthcare professionals to determine accurate treatment for patients, thereby offering better healthcare outcomes thus, driving the segment growth. Additionally, CT scan also provides additional information regarding the type of stones enabling better treatment plan, thereby increasing the product acceptance for kidney stones management, thus augmenting the industry demand.
Global Kidney Stones Management Market by Treatment
With regards to treatment, the kidney stones management market is divided into Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy {ESWL}, Ureteroscopy, and Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy {PCNL}. Among these ESLW generated considerable revenue in 2021 and is expected to grow at a highest CAGR over the analysis period. ESWL is a minimally invasive technique that uses concentrated shock to distort stones into smaller pieces that can be easily passed through urine thus making the process painless, thereby fostering the segment expansion. In addition, these devices have been reduced in size occupying less space with more efficient targeting systems to deliver accurate energy to stones.
Geographical Analysis of Global Kidney Stones Management Market
Region-wise, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America kidney stones management market revenue is poised to grow significant CAGR during the forthcoming years. This can be attributed to the the increasing occurrence of kidney stone disorders The increased prevalence of kidney stones in North America is strongly related to unhealthy lifestyle and dietary variables. Furthermore, favourable reimbursement scenarios, as well as access to advanced treatment choices, will increase the overall industry value. Furthermore, increased patient desire for minimally invasive surgical procedures, along with the strong footing of key industry players, will contribute to regional development.
