Ablation Devices Market Trends

• Increasing demand for thyroid ablation procedures as well as devices is driving the market growth

Due to the rising incidence of thyroid cancer and thyroid nodules, there is a rising demand for both thyroid ablation treatments and devices. The International Agency for Research on Cancer estimates that there were around 586,202 new thyroid cancer cases worldwide in 2020. Additionally, the availability of technologically advanced ablation methods and the growing inclination for less invasive surgeries are anticipated to fuel market expansion. The most popular and effective methods for treating thyroid cancer and nodules are these ones. Procedures for thyroid ablation are effective because they are less intrusive, potentially carry fewer risks, preserve more thyroid tissue, and aid patients in maintaining normal thyroid function. Radiation exposure is known to raise the risk of developing thyroid cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has discovered that having thyroid cancer increases your risk of being overweight or obese.

Follicular thyroid carcinoma is more common in areas with poor iodine consumption. Nevertheless, iodine-rich diets may raise the risk of papillary thyroid cancer. In America, most individuals get adequate iodine since it is added to table salt and other foods. The global industry has suffered as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic. Due to the fact that the planned thyroid ablation and thyroid cancer procedures were elective or non-essential, they were postponed by approximately 4 weeks when the infection started to spread. In the United States, sudden cardiac arrest is the primary cause of mortality, accounting for over 300,000 fatalities annually. According to a study by St. Jude Medical, Inc., there were approximately 250,000 catheter ablations conducted in the United States alone in 2015, compared to an estimated 990,000 worldwide. Catheter ablation is a technique used in electrophysiology to remove aberrant heart tissue that is the root of cardiac arrhythmia. The most popular ablation catheters today are radiofrequency and cryoablation, and more are anticipated in the future. Additionally, future projections indicate a sharp rise in the use of ablation techniques for the treatment of atrial fibrillation.

One of the main causes of illness and mortality worldwide is cancer. There were over 14.2 million new cases of cancer and 8.2 million cancer-related deaths in 2012. Within the next two decades, the WHO predicts a 70% increase in the number of new cases. Therefore, there is a pressing need for new, cutting-edge methods to cure cancer. Ablation is a method that employs heat to shrink the size of cancer cells and alleviate symptoms. It can be used alone or in conjunction with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or surgery. Due to the very targeted nature of this treatment, which solely targets tumor tissues, there has been an upsurge in the demand for ablation system in recent years. Thus, driving the ablation system market revenue.

Ablation Devices Market Segment Insights

Ablation Devices Technology Insights

The Market segments of Ablation Devices, based on technology, includes thermal ablation and non-thermal ablation. Thermal ablation segment dominated the global market in 2022. Throughout the predicted period, the segment will remain in its current position. The effectiveness and safety of Thermal Ablation (TA) as an alternative to surgery for benign thyroid nodules (BTNs) are well documented.

Ablation Devices Application Insights

The Ablation Devices Market segmentation, based on application, includes cancer, cardiovascular, ophthalmology, gynecology, urology, orthopedics, and others. Cancer segment dominated the global market in 2022. The high percentage can be ascribed to the rising incidence of thyroid cancer worldwide. For instance, the International Agency for Research on Cancer projects that in 2025 there would be 1,984,927 instances of thyroid cancer. According to the same source, thyroid cancer would rank as the sixth most prevalent cancer in women in 2020.

Ablation Devices Function Insights

The market segmentation of ablation treatment devices, based on function, includes automated/robotic and conventional. Automated/robotic segment dominated the Ablation Devices Market in 2022. For tiny tumors, radiofrequency ablation is one of the most popular ablation techniques. High-energy radio waves are used. Without the need for traditional surgery, special probes are utilized to "burn" or "freeze" tumors. The needle probe is guided and positioned into the tumor using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT).
