The global medical laser system market size was USD 4.6 Bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 8.6 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 8.6% during 2023–2031. Rising number of cosmetic surgeries and non-invasive surgeries are expected to propel the medical laser system market.
The medical laser system is a medical devices used for precisely removing or treating damaged tissues. The term laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.
Medical laser systems are majorly used in biological specialties including urology, cardiology, and ophthalmology. Researchers and physicians focus on exploring lasers in medicine. In the past few decades, developments in laser technologies have played a major role in revolutionizing the healthcare sector. During surgery, a laser system aids doctors and surgeons in precisely focusing on a small area with less damage to other surroundings.
Patients experience less pain and the surgeries are easier than traditional surgery. Lasers are directly applied to the skin in cosmetic procedures for the removal of birthmarks, blemishes, thread veins, and wrinkles. Medical laser surgeries are usually taking less time than traditional surgeries and patients heal faster with a medical laser system.
Laser light transfers the energy of photons to the tissues because of absorption. In the variety of pathologies as a major interest in a less invasive treatment or no tissue damage, the usage of lasers was increased. In each field of medicine, multiple laser systems have been studied. For the ablation of abnormal conductive pathways, laser energy can be effectively and safely used.
The COVID-19 pandemic hampered the market. Many production houses stopped producing, while the demand increased. Regular medical services stopped across all regions worldwide, as medical professionals had to prioritize COVID-19 patients.
Growing preference for minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) is a leading trend in the medical laser system market. Laser is majorly used in less time-consuming surgeries. MIS surgeries have better video assist equipment, which produces better and magnified images of the organs, in addition to other significant benefits, such as quick return to normal activities, and less major bleeding.
For instance, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)’s article published in February 2022, a total of 13,281,235 cosmetic minimally invasive surgeries were performed in the US in 2020.
Increasing cosmetic surgeries and rising incidences of eye disorders are expected to boost the market in the coming years. Surgeons use a combination of cosmetic and dermatological treatments for successful results.
Rising demand for specific aesthetic laser systems is anticipated to drive the market, owing to attracting people to undergo aesthetic procedures such as laser hair removal, and acne reduction. The high prevalence of skin conditions fuels the market. Developed countries are influenced to undergo body restructuring or reshaping treatments due to sedentary lifestyles.
Strict regulations implemented by governments around the globe for safety procedures hinder the medical laser system market. Surgeries fail due to a lack of infrastructure and a dearth of skilled professionals can hamper the market. Some medical lasers can cause damage after contact with the human body and majorly affect the eyes and skin.
Medical laser surgeries are costlier than traditional or regular equipment-based surgeries. People from moderate to lower socioeconomic backgrounds cannot afford this kind of laser surgery due to the high cost of the approaches.
Increasing demand for cosmetic procedures creates opportunities for key players competing in the medical laser system market. Painless and non-invasive cosmetic procedures are anticipated to create lucrative opportunity for the medical laser system market.
Rising requirements for laser treatments create favorable opportunities in the market. Growing awareness about ophthalmology, cancer, dental diseases, and orthopedic elements is expected to create a lucrative opportunities.
