Market Overview

According to a new report by Market Research Future (MRFR), the global gallstone market has been anticipated to expand at 7.9 % CAGR during the forecast period (2017-2022) owing to the increase in gallbladder diseases globally. Gallstones develop due to chemical imbalance of bile inside the gallbladder. Stones generally formed as the cholesterol level in bile increases and the cholesterol forms into stones. It has been predicted that in the UK, more than one in every ten adults suffer from gallstones. Around 80 % of the people suffering from gallstones don’t have pain as these are silent gallstones, asserts American College of Gastroenterology.
