Market Trends of Global Varicose Veins Treatment Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Varicose Veins Treatment Market according to our research experts:
Laser Ablation Devices Expected to Witness Considerable Growth Over the Forecast Period
Laser ablation treatment does not involve lengthy hospital stays or discomfort during the recovery process, which provides significant benefits to the patients who are treated for varicose veins. With the help of novel technologies and advancements in research activities by the key players in the studied market, there has been increased adoption of lasers in the treatment of varicose veins.
Laser ablation technology enables doctors to close smaller varicose veins and spider veins. This treatment involves emitting strong bursts of light onto the vein, making the affected veins disappear or fade. The use of laser treatment is increasing in developed nations due to the increasing healthcare expenditure and the growing inclination toward non-invasive procedures. According to a research study titled " Compression following treatment of superficial venous incompetence: systematic review" published in the British Journal of Surgery in May 2022, laser ablation therapy was cost-effective and the preferred initial treatment for symptomatic varicose veins having a diameter of at least 3 mm, with evidence of saphenous vein reflux. Also, there is intense competition among the local manufacturers of varicose vein lasers. With the upcoming advancements in lasers and the ease of treatment provided by the same, it is expected that the segment will grow in the future.
Moreover, increasing product launch by the key market players anticipated to boost the segment growth over the forecast period. For Instance, in April 2022, Ra Medical Systems, Inc., a medical device company focusing on developing its excimer laser system to treat vascular diseases, reported the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted the company a patent for liquid-filled laser ablation with expanded distal optical windows.
Thus, owing to the aforementioned factors, the laser ablation devices market is expected to register healthy growth over the forecast period.
North America Expected to Dominate the Market Over the Forecast Period
North America holds the largest share of the market studied, and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period. The major factors contributing to the growth of the varicose veins treatment market in North America include the well-developed healthcare systems in countries such as the United States and the presence of major players, which allows the higher availability of products in the market. Furthermore, due to the favorable reimbursement scenario, the people in the United States can access this treatment at an affordable cost.
According to the study titled "Risk assessment for varicose veins among city Police-A cross-sectional study" published in the Clinical Epidemiology and Global Health in December 2021, Varicose veins affect roughly 23% of adults in the United States. When spider telangiectasias and reticular veins are taken into account, the prevalence rises to 80% in men and 85% in women. The United States of America was found to be 1 in 22. Thus, the increasing burden of varicose veins in the American population is expected to drive the studied market in the North American region over the forecast period.
However, various strategies adopted by the key market players for market expansion such as product launch, merger and acquisition, collaboration and among other anticipated to boost the market in the region. For instance in April 2021, Medtronic has started an Investigation Device Exemption (IDE) study to see if the Abre venous self-expanding stent system, which is used to treat deep venous diseases, is effective and safe. Additionally, in Otober 2021, Venclose Inc., a privately-held Silicon Valley medical device company focused on innovative treatment procedures for venous reflux disease recieved FDA 510(k) clearance for Venclose Maven, a novel radiofrequency ablation (RFA) catheter for minimally invasive treatment of incompetent perforator veins (IPVs).
Thus, owing to the aforementioned factors, the vericose vein treatment market is expected to register healthy growth over the forecast period.
