Radiofrequency Ablation Devices Market Trends

Global Radiofrequency Ablation Devices Market Overview

The Radiofrequency Ablation Devices Market Size was valued at USD 4.76 Billion in 2023. 

The Global Radiofrequency Ablation Devices industry is projected to grow from USD 5.37 Billion in 2024 to USD 13.05 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.38% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). 

It uses thermal energy to achieve targeted tissue destruction. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure appropriate for patients with cardiac diseases. For instance, atrial fibrillation (AF), atrial flutter, cardiac arrhythmias, cancer, and pain management. It provides high efficacy, ease of use, and safety, becoming the most preferred method. The process is being increasingly used to treat many diseases, such as cancer and cardiac arrhythmia.

Radiofrequency Ablation Devices Market Trends

The growing geriatric population is also a reason for the market growth. Recently the growing economy and strong insurance policies will increase the market growth. The increasing number of lung cancer cases in the American region keeps the market growing. Although the number of cardiac patients is rising, awareness is also increasing of the disease. 

The poor economy and less per capita income, for some reason, could hinder market growth. The rise in government funds for the healthcare sector and developing economies in several countries will improve the market globally. Some of the side effects associated with the system for pain management procedures are discomfort, swelling, and tissue charring.

Radiofrequency Ablation Devices Regional Insights

The Americas dominates the global market for radiofrequency ablation devices owing a growing number of lung cancer cases like, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) which is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for 80-85% of all lung cancer cases. It is generally a slow growing and spreading as compared to small cell lung cancer (SCLC). 

Small cell lung cancer used to account for 12-13% of lung cancers. However, there has been a shift from NSCLC to SCLC in recent years which has propelled the market growth of the radiofrequency ablation devices.

It was estimated that Europe stood second in the radiofrequency ablation devices market.

Asia-Pacific was the fastest growing region for the market of radiofrequency ablation devices in 2021. Factors such as increasing awareness of the cardiac disease, growing healthcare industries, and the development of various treatment methods for gynecology and cosmetology drives the market in this region.

On the other hand, the Middle East and Africa holds the least market share in the radiofrequency ablation devices. The presence of poor economies and low per capita income, especially within the African region make the market to lag within the region. 

A majority of the market share within this region is estimated to be held by the Middle East due to increasing government funding in the healthcare for healthcare, and presence of developed economies like UAE, Kuwait, Dubai, and others.
