High-intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Therapy Market Overview:
The global high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy market was valued at $81,000 thousand in 2017, and is estimated to reach at $398,724 thousand by 2025, registering a CAGR of 21.8% from 2018 to 2025. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy is a medical procedure, which involves the application of focused ultrasonic waves to eliminate diseased tissue through ablation. When ultrasonic waves are focused on the target tissue, the temperature increases, which leads to irreversible cell death of the damaged tissue. Surgical procedures involving HIFU devices are preferred, as they are minimally invasive.
The high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy market is driven by rise in awareness for early disease diagnosis and favorable regulatory scenario towards HIFU devices. Furthermore, increase in elderly population and upsurge in demand for HIFU therapy augment the market growth. However, dearth of skilled professionals and limitations associated with HIFU as a technology are some of the factors that restrain the high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy market growth. On the contrary, the presence of untapped market in the developing nations is expected to provide new opportunities for the key players.
Prostate cancer application dominated the high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy market in 2017, owing to the increased adoption of HIFU devices used to treat this disease throughout the world.
Rise in focus of vendors on the emerging markets, such as Asia-Pacific and LAMEA, is expected to boost the market growth. Asia-Pacific is projected to witness significant growth in future, owing to increase in R&D investment and surge in disease diagnosis awareness. Furthermore, this region presents remarkable opportunities for the venture capitalists and investors, as the developed markets are comparatively saturated.
