Increasing usage of urology devices in hospitals favor the market growth.
Urology refers to a branch of medicine that deals with the functions and disorders of the urinary system. Urology devices are the medical devices used as a part of health care for diseases associated to the male and female urinary tract. The urologic problems are common and can occur to any person, due to which preventive and treatment care for these diseases are important. Moreover, the hospitals segment held a dominant share of the market during the forecast period owing to the increase in number of surgical procedures for the treatment of all types of urology disorders and favorable reimbursement policies for medical devices in most developed and developing countries.
Growing COVID-19 incidences resulted in increasing kidney diseases.
In 2022, the kidney diseases segment accounted for the largest share in the market. The growing incidence of kidney diseases coupled with the health complications associated with them is driving the demand for urological interventions in order to manage the disease, which, in turn, is propelling the market for urology devices. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has evidently increased stress levels among the population and stress urinary incontinence is a commonly prevalent health problem across the world. It triggers acute respiratory distress in patients with severe kidney diseases and this condition can damage the kidney further. Hence, the demand for dialysis procedures surged at healthcare centers as well as in home care settings due to rising number of patients with urology-related disorders who were infected by the COVID-19 strain. Therefore, companies in the market increased the supply of urology equipment to efficiently manage urological emergencies at various facilities.
