Endoscope + Radiofrequency Ablation (Rfa) Market Overview:
The global endoscope + radiofrequency ablation (RFA) market was valued at $3,567 million in 2017 and is estimated to reach at $7,471 million by 2025, registering a CAGR of 9.6% from 2018 to 2025. Endoscope + radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an advanced treatment modality in which endoscope devices are used in conjunction with radiofrequency ablation devices for the treatment of cardiac disorders, oncological disorders, and pain management. The potential of endoscopic RFA is being evaluated in the treatment of early esophageal squamous intra-epithelial neoplasia along with gastric diseases, rectal diseases, and biliary diseases.
The key factors that boost the growth of the global endoscope + radiofrequency ablation (RFA) market include upsurge in demand for novel treatment methods for patients suffering from cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and disorders associated with chronic pain along with the benefits offered by this advanced treatment modality. Several research studies have concluded that radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatment efficiently creates lesion in the targeted body parts while maintaining short procedure durations. However, complications associated with the endoscope + radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedure and the limited awareness regarding available endoscopic RFA devices are expected to hamper the market growth. Conversely, emerging indications for the endoscopic radiofrequency ablation offer profitable opportunities for the expansion of the market.
Application segment review
Based on application, the endoscope + radiofrequency ablation (RFA) market is classified into four segments—oncology application, pain management, cardiology application, and other applications. The cardiology application segment registered the highest revenue in 2017 and is expected to maintain this trend throughout the forecast period. The dominant position of this segment in the global market is majorly contributed by the increase in the patient pool suffering from arrhythmia. Whereas, the oncology application segment is expected to record the highest CAGR from 2018 to 2025. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe, minimally invasive, and an effective modality for the destruction of tumors. In addition, RFA is largely used for the ablation of liver cancer and serves as a practical alternative in inoperable patients.
Geography segment review
Region-wise, the endoscope + radiofrequency ablation (RFA) market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. North America dominated the market in 2017, accounting for the highest share, and is anticipated to maintain this trend throughout the forecast period.
