Gynecology lasers are non-invasive
energy-based systems typically used to treat various genital tract
diseases in women. Gynecology lasers offer optimal thermal control,
adequate visualization, and precise tissue management during
gynecological surgeries. CO2 lasers are the most commonly used energy
devices in various gynecological clinical applications and procedures
including laparoscopy, hysterectomy, vulvar cosmetic procedures,
colposcopy, endometriosis, myomas, genital tumors, cervical dysplasia,
and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). These procedures minimize
surgical invasiveness and damage to surrounding tissue, reduce duration
and morbidity, and allow rapid healing of patients with minimum
complications. Moreover, emergence of genital esthetics and increase in
need of treatment procedures for these gynecology disorders in the
developed regions are projected to boost demand for gynecology lasers in
the next few years.
The global gynecology lasers market is
anticipated to grow at a rapid pace in the next few years. Rise in
prevalence of gynecological disorders such as vaginal atrophy, stress
urinary incontinence, genito-urinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), and
pelvic organ prolapse is a major driver of the market. These conditions
affect a high percentage of women and its prevalence increases with age.
According to the American Urological Association, approximately 30%
women aged 30 to 60 years are affected with urinary incontinence, of
which, 15% of the cases is attributed to stress urinary incontinence
(SUI). Hence, increase in target population is likely to boost demand
for minimally invasive clinical treatment options. This in turn is
expected to propel the gynecology lasers market during the forecast
period. Rapid technological advancements including the development of
minimally invasive laser therapies are likely to fuel the growth of the
global gynecology lasers market. However, high cost of treatment
procedures and shortage of skilled personnel in developing countries are
projected to hamper the growth of the global gynecology lasers market
during the forecast period.
The global gynecology lasers market can
be segmented based on product, application, end-user, and region. In
terms of product, the market can be classified into Nd: YAG lasers, CO2
lasers, and KTP-ARGON lasers. The CO2 lasers segment is expected to
dominate the global market owing to wide usage of these lasers in the
treatment of genital tract diseases. Based on application, the global
gynecology lasers market can be categorized into laparoscopy,
colposcopy, and hysteroscopy. In terms of end-user, the gynecology
lasers market can be divided into hospitals, ambulatory surgical
centers, clinics, and medical centers.
Based on region, the global gynecology
lasers market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific,
Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America accounted
for the major share of the global market in 2017. Increase in the
geriatric population affected by gynecology disorders and rise in
treatment procedures in the U.S. contribute to the region’s dominant
market share. Presence of well-established companies focused on
manufacturing advanced technology and high incidence of chronic
disorders such as endometriosis in Germany is projected to boost the
growth of the market in Europe. The gynecology lasers market in Asia
Pacific, which includes countries such as China, Japan, and India, is
anticipated to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to
rise in awareness about laser treatments in gynecology surgeries.
Increase in disposable income and rise in health care expenditure are
the other factors propelling the market in these countries.
Major players operating in the global
gynecology lasers market include Lumines, Cynosure, Inc., Quanta System
S.p.A, biolitec AG, JenaSurgical GmbH, Boston Scientific Corporation,
