The global uterine fibroid treatment devices market size was USD 6,073.60 Million in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 13,980.00 Million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 9.71% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. High number of women suffering from uterine fibroids is likely to fuel the market.
Growing preference for minimally invasive medical procedures coupled with expanding use of advanced technology in the healthcare sector is likely to propel the market. The potential benefits of uterine fibroid treatment devices include non-invasive, quick recovery, high success rate, preserve fertility, minimal scarring, and safety. These devices are minimally invasive and are intended to provide an alternative to traditional surgical treatments for uterine fibroids, such as hysterectomy or myomectomy. Rising preference for modern devices over conventional treatment solutions is fueling the market.
Uterine fibroid treatment devices use various techniques to destroy or shrink fibroids. The treatment includes high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS), radiofrequency ablation, cryomyolysis, myolysis, uterine artery embolization (UAE).
Uterine fibroid treatment devices offer women an effective and safe way to manage fibroids and reduce associated symptoms. However, the best treatment approach depends on each woman’s situation, which is determined in consultation with a healthcare provider. The specific type of device used depends on the size and location of the fibroids, as well as other factors such as the patient’s age and overall health.
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has impeded the market. The pandemic has affected almost every industry and the long-term effects are projected to impact the industry’s growth during the forecast period.
Artificial Intelligence technology is expected to fuel the uterine fibroid treatment devices market during the forecast period. AI helps ultra-sonographers improve the diagnostic performance of uterine fibroids. Ultrasonography is the imaging method that is used for the clinical diagnosis of uterine fibroids, due to the possesses high specificity and sensitivity.
Deep learning (DL), one of the key AI solutions, plays a substantial role in radiology, due to their powerful image feature extraction capabilities. DL algorithms for ultrasound image generation are increasingly gaining research support and attention, rapidly becoming the latest pioneers in ultrasound image generation. These factors are expected to play a key part in advancing the integration of AI in medical solutions designed for uterine fibroid treatments.
Increasing non-invasive and minimally invasive surgeries for the treatment of uterine fibroids (UF) are driving the uterine fibroid treatment devices market. Several key players are investing in research & development (R&D) for innovative non-invasive and minimally surgical procedures.
According to the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), from 2006 to 2010, 11.7% of women between the ages of 40 and 44 had a hysterectomy. Approximately 600,000 hysterectomies are performed annually in the US, and approximately 20 million women in the US had a hysterectomy.
However, increasing population base for uterine fibroid patients, the sprouting number of hospitals & surgery centers, and the technological advancements by market players to develop novel uterine/endometrial ablation & laparoscopic devices are expected to drive the growth of the market.
High-cost treatment, containment procedures implemented by several governments, and ongoing healthcare reforms in the U.S. are restraining the growth of the uterine fibroid treatment devices market. Uterine fibroid devices and procedures are expensive and the treatment cost is higher, which impacts the uterine fibroid treatment devices market. The high cost of these devices and procedures often leads to a limited demand, as it is a substantial financial burden for numerous patients, especially those without insurance coverage. This factor is likely to hinder the uterine fibroid treatment devices market.
Increasing market penetration of product manufacturers and high demand in rural areas from emerging markets is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market players. Emerging economies such as India, China, Brazil, and Mexico are attractive destinations for companies engaged in the manufacturing, developing, and distribution of the market.

Based on technology, the uterine fibroid treatment devices market is divided into surgical, ablation, laparoscopic, and embolization. The surgical segment is expected to expand at a significant pace during the projection period, owing to an increase in the number of hysterectomy and myomectomy surgical procedures. These surgical procedures are most commonly performed procedures for women. The surgeon removes fibroids by using instruments inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus.
The ablation segment is anticipated to hold a key share of the market in the coming years. It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to target fibroids and reduces them significantly. Patients enjoy less severe symptoms and a better quality of life, by lessening the fibroids. Endometrial ablation can be done in the doctor’s office without the use of anesthesia.
On the basis of mode of treatment, the market is segregated into minimally invasive treatment, invasive treatment, and non-invasive treatment. The invasive treatment segment is projected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, due to the increasing cases of uterine fibroids and related symptoms in women all over the world.
As abdominal myomectomy and hysterectomy are standard procedures for the treatment and achieved a wide range of acceptance owing to their low cost. However, these factors are expected to increase the demand for invasive treatment in the market.
In terms of region, the global uterine fibroid treatment devices market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market during the projection period, due to the increasing government initiatives, rising hysterectomy-related surgical procedures, and the presence of well-established healthcare facilities in the region.
However, the ease of access to healthcare technologies and the presence of distribution channels are driving the market in the region.The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace in the coming years, owing to the increasing healthcare awareness within the population in emerging countries such as India and China.
Factors such as unmet needs regarding fibroids diagnosis & treatment and the presence of a large patient base are expected to drive the market in the region. However, an increase in the number of hospitalization and growing healthcare expenditure by the government are factors driving the market in the region.
