Flexible & Semi-Rigid Ureteroscopy Market by Product, Application, End User, Geography - Global Market Size, Share, Development, Growth
The global
flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy market is expected to witness
considerable growth during the forecast period, due to swelling prevalence of
kidney stone-related disorders, globally. Moreover, technological advancements
taking place in flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopes for the treatment of
urolithiasis are also boosting the growth of the market.
In terms of
product, the flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy market is bifurcated into
flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopes, where flexible ureteroscopes are
expected to account for larger share in the coming years. This is due to the
fact that flexible ureteroscopes have higher flexibility to tract and treat
kidney stones in comparison to semi-rigid ureteroscopes. The flexible ureteroscopes
market is further categorized into fiber-optic and digital ureteroscopes. Among
these, digital ureteroscopes are expected to account for larger market share
during the forecast period, owing to their higher efficacy and better image
output in comparison to fiber-optic ureteroscopes.

Detailed Report Summary:
Based on
application, the market is categorized into urolithiasis, urinary stricture,
and kidney cancer. During the forecast period, the usage of ureteroscopes is
expected to be the highest for the treatment of urolithiasis, characterized by
the increasing prevalence of kidney stones and widespread adoption of
ureteroscopes over other treatment options for urolithiasis.
Hospitals
and ASCs are the prime end users in the flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy
market. Moreover, the ureteroscopes are also used in physician offices and
academic institutions. During the historical period, hospitals as an end-user
category generated the maximum revenue in the market, owing to the high

Geographically,
North America held the largest share in the flexible and semi-rigid
ureteroscopy market in 2017, globally, followed by Europe. This is due to the
increasing demand for ureteroscopes; vast presence of key established players,
such as Stryker Corporation and Boston Scientific Corporation; developed
reimbursement policies; and increasing prevalence of kidney related disorders.
Whereas, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market is expected to observe the fastest
growth during the forecast period.
Key players
in the flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy industry are receiving government
approvals for the introduction of new and advanced ureteroscopy methods. For
instance, in January 2018, Gyrus ACMI USA initiated studies on ureteroscopes
with secondary deflection method, leading to advancement in the method for fast
and easy treatment procedures. The Elite ureteroscope of Gyrus ACMI, USA offers
secondary deflection, which allows the surgeon to achieve a total deflection
angle up to 270°. Favorable characteristics of the ureteroscope, such as wide
range of deflection capabilities and ‘S’ shape allow the urologist to access
any area of intra-renal collecting system.
Moreover, in
May 2018, Olympus Corporation initiated study in Japan on ureteroscopes with
the change in evolution tip, leading to the advancement in the treatment of
ureteral cannulation.
Some of the
other players in the flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy industry include
Boston Scientific Corporation, Cardinal Health Inc., Biotronik SE & Co. KG,
Richard Wolf Gmbh, Prosurg Inc., Vimex Endoscopy, and Rocamed.
