Global Nephrology Lasers Market Definition
Nephrology lasers are used in endoscopic surgery of the kidneys via ureteroscopy. A commonly used method today is fragmentation and retrieval, wherein direct access to the kidney is allowed by inserting the ureteral access sheath. It also eases the movement of the endoscope in the ureter. To locate and fragment kidney stones, a laser-imbibed miniature ureteroscope is passed through the sheath, and a kidney stone is broken into pieces of less than 3mm and then retrieved by retrieval devices.

Nephrology lasers are typically used for laser lithotripsy, which is a procedure to break apart kidney stones in the urinary tract. The advancements in laser devices used in lithotripsy and the rising prevalence of kidney stone diseases worldwide are projected to boost the nephrology lasers market in the upcoming years.
Global Nephrology Lasers Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
-
Less Procedural and Recovery Time Required for Laser Surgeries – The time taken for lithotripsy and ureteroscopy with the help of lasers is estimated to be short, which is expected to drive the demand for nephrology lasers in the forecasted period. According to estimates, the time taken to perform an upper endoscopy is only 30 to 40 minutes.
-
Rising Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) – According to estimates, in 2019, the prevalence of CKD was more than 13% around the globe.
-
Upsurge in the Demand for Minimally Invasive Surgeries – According to the International Society of Aesthetics Plastic Surgeries (ISAPS), in the year 2020, a total of 10,129,528 aesthetic surgical procedures were performed worldwide.
-
Growing Geriatric Population – According to the United Nations World Population Prospects 2019, 1 in 11 people in the world are over the age of 65 in the year 2019. It will become 1 in 6 people by 2050.
-
Increasing Cases of Diabetes – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed the latest data from the National Diabetes Statistics Report 2022, according to which more than 37 million people were suffering from diabetes in the United States in 2020.
Challenges
- Possibilities of Bladder or Urethral Muscle Spasms – as laser therapy may result in excessively intense burns, bleeding from the choriocapillaris, and damage to macular and other ocular structures. The damage can cause muscle spasms restraining the demand for nephrology laser therapy.
- Concerns Associated with the Use of Ureteral Access Sheath (UAS)
- High Cost Involved in the Surgical Procedures
The global nephrology lasers market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end-user into hospitals, clinics, and specialized day care clinics. Among these segments, the hospital segment is expected to generate the most revenue by the end of 2033, backed by the increasing number of jobs generated in the healthcare sector owing to rising healthcare infrastructure globally. It was found that, in the year 2020, the National Health Service (NHS) in United Kingdom’s healthcare sector provided employment to more than 1.5 million people.
