Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy Market Analysis

Application (Kidney Stones, Biliary Calculi, Salivary Stones, Pancreatic Stones)

The global extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into kidney stones, biliary calculi, salivary stones, pancreatic stones, and others. Out of these, the kidney stones segment is anticipated to hold the largest share with a market share of 43% by the end of 2036. This can be accounted for by the high usage of ESWL for breaking kidney stones into small pieces so that they can easily travel through the urinary tract and pass from the body. Apart from this, shock wave lithotripsy also helps in reducing symptoms (such as pain) and allows people to pass kidney stones on their own, which is also assessed to boost the market segment growth in the future. In addition, the rising cases of kidney stones that require surgical procedures are also projected to bring lucrative growth opportunities for segment growth. For instance, it was estimated in 2022, that around 10-12% of kidney stone cases across the globe require surgical removal.

End-user (Hospitals, Clinics, Radiology Labs)

The global extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end-user in hospitals, clinics, radiology labs, and others. Out of these segments, the hospital segment is projected to garner the highest market share of 38% and a notable revenue generation during the forecast period. The major factors attributed to the growing segment size are the rising number of hospitals across the globe and the availability of features and facilities for the proper conduction of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) treatment. For instance, there were over 8,000 hospitals in Japan as of 2020. Korea, by contrast, had about 4,000 hospitals. In addition, there were more than 6000 hospitals in the United States. Also, the preference of hospitals for treatment as the result of trained medical staff and professionals for proper use of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) during surgeries is estimated to expand the segment size in the upcoming years.
