COVID-19 Impact: Possibilities of Treating COVID to Increase Market Growth

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are already being felt on a global level, which has influenced the market significantly. The outbreak of COVID-19 had a negative impact on many markets. Various countries went into lockdown. Due to the spread of the infection, there was a demand for complete lockdown and doctors thereby, tried to use fiber lasers to treat patients suffering from COVID. Various laser treatments were tried to diagnose patients suffering from multiple organ failure to improve their living conditions during the pandemic which affected the demand for the product and improved its market growth.

LATEST TRENDS

Improving Diagnosis in Pediatric Patients with Urinary Stones to Expand Market Growth

Compared to the standards of laser lithotripsy, a new thulium fiber laser system provides better results in treatment of urinary stones of pediatric patients. The TFL technology used can also reduce the operating time. The fibers used here are much smaller, which enable miniaturization possibilities. They are energy resistant and more flexible. This kind of lasers create an opportunity for the manufacturers to expand the production. Such demands are expected to pose an opportunity for the global medical laser fiber market growth during the forecast period.

  • According to clinical studies published by the American Urological Association, over 62% of pediatric urology procedures in 2023 utilized thulium laser fiber systems for safer stone treatment due to their precise ablation and lower risk of thermal injury.
  • Data from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) indicates that 51% of laser-assisted surgeries in dermatology and ENT departments now rely on miniaturized medical laser fibers for reduced patient recovery time and enhanced procedural accuracy.

MEDICAL LASER FIBER MARKET SEGMENTATION

  • By Type

Based on type; the market is divided into Thulium laser fibers, Holmium laser fibers, Others

  • By Application

Based on application; the market is divided into urology, OB/GYN, vein treatment, endoscopic surgery, dermatology, plastic surgery, and others.

Urology is the leading part in the application segment.

DRIVING FACTORS

Ability to Treat Tumors and Cancer to Increase Production

The medical procedure by the fiber laser system requires just a few minutes to accomplish. Just two small cut marks are left, and keeping a patient at the hospital isn't required after the surgery. Hence, the principal advantage of fiber laser treatment is the potential chance to rehash the cycle in the event that sweeps uncover it didn't annihilate each of the cancers the initial time around. Contrasted with a lumpectomy system, fiber laser treatment presents no significant dangers. As these processes create a huge demand among medical industries, the manufacturing companies mainly focus on expanding the business by increasing its production. Such demand is anticipated to drive the global medical laser fiber market share.

  • As per the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 39% of kidney stone cases treated in urban hospitals during 2023 involved laser lithotripsy using holmium-based medical laser fibers, owing to their high stone pulverization efficiency.
  • According to European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), 43% of laser interstitial thermal therapies for prostate and liver tumors now use precision-guided fiber lasers, enhancing tumor targeting while minimizing surrounding tissue damage.

Several Uses in Medical Industries to Improve Market Growth

The different uses of medical laser fiber provides the manufacturers a necessity to increase production rate. Numerous illnesses can be distinguished by checking explicit changes in atomic organization by utilizing optical fiber spectroscopic examination. In urology, from cutting soft tissues to hair removal and the diagnosis, laser fibers play a very important role. They are also used to treat stones present in the bladder in the medical industry.
