Burning Issue: Rising Awareness Related to Ablation Procedures – Future of Ablation Technology

Rising incidence of cancer and prevalence of cardiovascular diseases are the major factors driving the growth of this market. In addition, increasing number of ablation procedures, hospitals, surgical, and ablation centres and emergence of next-generation ablation products and technologies are further aiding to the growth prospects of this market.

However, reuse and reprocessing of devices in developing countries and healthcare cost-containment measures taken in a number of developed countries can hinder the growth of this market.

Increasing focus of global players towards developing nations, notable mergers and acquisitions in microwave ablation segment, and development of advanced radiofrequency ablation devices are the major trends in the ablation technologies market. Key players in the ablation technologies market are acquiring small ablation devices companies expand their ablation device businesses across the globe.

Few significant mergers and acquisitions in this segment include; acquisition of – Dfine, Inc. (U.S.) by Merit Medical Systems, Inc. (U.S.) in July 2016; Galil Medical Inc. (U.S.) by BTG plc (U.K.) in June 2016; NeuWave Medical Inc (U.S.) by Johnson & Johnson (U.S.) in April 2016; Covidien plc (Ireland) by Medtronic, Inc (U.S.) in January 2015; and Microsulis Medical Ltd. (U.K.) by AngioDynamics, Inc. (U.S.) in February, 2013, among others.

The rising incidence of cancer and aging population across the globe are further aiding the market growth as global cancer patient population forms the major target market for ablation products as key ablation technologies are used for treatment and management of various tumor/cancers in the liver, lung, kidney, breast, and prostate. Additionally, risk of cancer increases with age. Approximately 60% of patients who have cancer are aged 65 and above (Source: American Society of Clinical Oncology).

According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the population of individuals aged above 65 years represented 9.2% of the global population in 1990. This figure reached 11.7% by 2013 and is further expected to increase to 21.1% by 2050. In order to meet the demand for the cancer treatment, major players are focusing on bringing in advanced ablation products in the market. For instance, Medtronic, a leading player in ablation technology, launched OsteoCool RF Ablation System to treat spine metastases, in January 2016. The system destroys cancer cells by using highfrequency energy, and also provides procedural flexibility and tailored treatment for spine metastases.
