Market
Highlights
The
flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy market is expected to witness tremendous
growth owing to the rising prevalence of kidney cancer, kidney stone, and
change in lifestyle. Other key factors such as the growing consumption of
alcohol, change to sedentary lifestyle, increasing dehydration, and obesity are
contributing towards the growth of the market. According to the University
Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, March 2016, the prevalence of renal
stone treatment increased between 5 to 10% with a 75% increase in obese
patients. However, factors such as high cost of ureteroscopy procedures are
expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
Segmentation
The
global flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy market is segmented on the basis of
product, application, and end-user. The flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy
market, by product, is categorized into flexible ureteroscopes, semi-rigid
ureteroscopes, and rigid ureteroscopes. Flexible ureteroscopes are further
segmented into fiberoptic ureteroscopes and digital ureteroscopes. On the basis
of application, the market is segmented into therapeutic applications and
diagnostic applications. Therapeutic applications are further segmented into
urinary stricture, urolithiasis, and kidney cancer. On the basis of end-user,
the market is segmented into hospitals and clinics, diagnostic centers,
ambulatory surgical centers, research centers, and others.
Regional
Analysis
The
Americas leads the market owing to the increasing prevalence of urolithiasis,
increasing research and development programs in flexible video-ureteroscopes,
and growing healthcare expenditure. The American Urological Association, July
2016, has estimated a 3% prevalence rate for kidney stone in all individuals
and stated that it affects 12% of the population during their lifetime. Such a
high rate of kidney stone drives the market growth in this region.
Europe
is expected to be the second largest flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy
market during the forecast period. The increasing occurrence of kidney cancer
and obesity drive the market in this region. According to Cancer Research UK in
2015, there were12,547 new cases of kidney cancer. Thus, the growing cases of
kidney cancer facilitate the market growth.
Asia-Pacific
was estimated to be the fastest growing region for the global flexible and
semi-rigid ureteroscopy market in 2017. The market is expected to witness high
growth owing to the rising prevalence of obesity and kidney cancer in this
region. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information
publication 2016, 121,099 cases of kidney cancer were recorded in Asia in 2012
in which 66.12% patients were males. Such a high prevalence of kidney cancer
influences the market growth.

This
is expected to provide favorable backgrounds for the market to grow.
The
Middle East and Africa accounts for the low share due to lack of awareness, low
per capita income, and lack of well-trained healthcare
professionals. However, the rising oncology and health care services in
hospitals and in the community are expected to influence the market in a
positive way.
