Increased prevalence of disorders associated with organs such as ureters, urethra, adrenal glands, urinary bladder, ureters and other organs in the urinary system has driven the need for more advanced and cost-effective urology treatments and therapeutics. The number of individuals affected by chronic kidney disorders has also increased in recent years. Changing lifestyle and increased consumption of junk food is partly responsible for the rising number of medical cases associated with urinary system. Factors as such is influencing the global market for urology lasers. These devices are used in various surgical treatments including kidney stones surgery, prostate surgery and uninary tract surgery among others. The latest report published by Market Research Future (MRFR) projects that the global market for urology devices will expand at 7.1% CAGR during the assessment period (2017-2023).
Healthcare expenditure per capita has improved globally, at the same time the ratio of geriatric population continues to grow indifferently, which is also playing an important role is driving the market. Over the years, a wide range of novel medical technologies has arrived in the field of urology. Several groundbreaking minimally invasive surgical procedures have also been developed for treating urological disorders. Such incessant progress has led to development of cutting-edge urology devices market size. Manufacturers are also focusing on developing and designing organ-specific devices that can better assist surgeons in diagnosing and treating disease in any particular organ in the urinary system.
