Ablation devices are medical instruments used to eliminate abnormal tissue growths or dysfunctional cells, such as tumors or cardiac arrhythmias, employing various energy sources such as heat, cold, or radiofrequency. These devices play a crucial role in minimally invasive procedures aimed at treating conditions ranging from cancer to heart rhythm disorders.
The primary types of ablation devices include laser ablators, radiofrequency ablators, microwave ablators, ultrasound ablators, electric ablators, hydrothermal ablators, and cryoablators. Laser ablators utilize laser energy for precise material removal or modification, commonly applied in industrial settings. The technology encompasses various methods such as radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, cryoablation, high-intensity focused ultrasound, laser interstitial thermal ablation, and others, often incorporating automated and robotic functionalities. These devices are utilized by diverse end-users including hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others.
The ablation device market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides ablation device market statistics, including ablation device industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a ablation device market share, detailed ablation device market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the ablation device industry. This ablation device market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The ablation devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.49 billion in 2024 to $9.31 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising chronic disease burden, growing elderly population, government initiatives and funding, clinical evidence and research, and growing awareness among physicians.
The ablation devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.25 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing healthcare infrastructure, enhanced integration of ablation devices with imaging technologies, rising disposable incomes, faster regulatory approvals, and increasing patient awareness. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of robotics, expansion in non-oncology applications, advances in real-time imaging modalities, telemedicine, and remote monitoring, and increasing adoption of personalized and patient-specific ablation treatment plans.
The ablation device market is poised for growth driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. Lifestyle changes, aging populations, and longer lifespans contribute to the rising incidence of chronic conditions. Ablation devices play a critical role in treating chronic diseases by selectively destroying abnormal tissue, offering minimally invasive treatment options for conditions such as cardiac arrhythmias and certain cancers. For example, a report from the American College of Cardiology projected significant increases in cardiovascular risk factors and disease rates in the United States from 2025 to 2060. This includes diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, stroke, heart failure, ischemic heart disease, and heart attack. Thus, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases is a key driver propelling the ablation device market.
Leading companies in the ablation devices market are actively developing innovative solutions, such as the cryoballoon ablation system, for treating conditions such as Barrett's esophagus. The cryoballoon ablation system is a balloon-based catheter used to freeze and ablate tissue, particularly effective in cardiac arrhythmia treatment. For instance, in October 2022, Pentax of America Inc., a Japanese medical device company, launched the C2 CryoBalloon Ablation System in Canada to treat Barrett's esophagus. This system has demonstrated superior effectiveness compared to traditional Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA), reducing patient discomfort and the need for pain medication.
In August 2022, Medtronic plc, an Ireland-based medical device company, acquired Affera Inc. to expand its cardiac ablation portfolio. This acquisition enhances Medtronic's capabilities in managing atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, marking a significant growth opportunity in the ablation device market. Affera Inc., based in the US, specializes in providing advanced ablation devices.
