[Research Report] The medical laser systems market size is projected to reach US$ 5,834.02 million by 2028 from US$ 2,398.60 million in 2021. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.5% from 2021 to 2028.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

Medical laser systems are medical devices that are utilized precisely for treating or removing tissues using precisely focused lights. With proper utilization surgeons can accomplish more complex tasks, reduce blood loss, decrease postoperative discomfort, reduce wound infection chances, and achieve better-wound healing. Increasing importance of aesthetics and rising patient pool using advanced laser-based treatments worldwide are contributing to the growth of medical laser systems market. Furthermore, Laser vision correction is one of the most common surgical procedures. Reasons for the increasing preference of patients for laser vision correction are the continued improvements in the visual results achieved and the constant reduction in the incidence of postoperative complications.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

For laser safety worldwide there are standards that are benchmarked to contain normative and instructive recommendations for laser manufacturers, doctors, and facility administrators. Documents 60601, 60825, and 60825-Part 8 of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) are available as international standards. They serve as the foundation for national standards in most countries. These standards are harmonized with national standards in several countries (the US, Australia, and Canada) and are mandated as the foundation for all other rules and professionally recommended practices. The 4173 (Guide to the Safe Use of Lasers in Healthcare) and the AS/NZ 2211 (Laser Safety) have established the expected standard for laser safety in healthcare in Australia. Despite not being regulatory, they have had the effect of regulation due to their widespread acceptance. It has been included in state regulations, such as the Radiation Safety Act 1999 in Western Australia, Tasmania, and Queensland. Owing to the stringent regulations, all medical laser manufacturers are following the safety regulations to meet the demand as there is an increasing prevalence of eye diseases. For instance, according to the National Eye Institute, the number of persons suffering from cataracts would rise to ~50 million by 2050. Also, according to the WHO, cataracts affect ~65.2 million people and cause moderate to severe vision loss in over 80% of cases. As populations age and average life expectancy continues to increase worldwide, the number of people with cataracts will continue to grow.

Furthermore, according to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the total number of POAG cases in adult population will be 79.76 million in 2040. Thus, the rising prevalence of eye diseases worldwide highly demands medical lasers. Also, in Qatar, laser hair removal procedures is the common technique practiced and has reached to a new height from the past few years due to market for hardware cosmetology in the beauty industry has developed rapidly. This will also help the medical and beauty laser market to grow.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on product type, the medical laser systems market is divided into diode lasers, solid state lasers, gas lasers, and dye lasers. Solid state lasers is further subsegmented into holmium yttrium aluminum garnet (Ho:Yag) lasers, erbium yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:Yag) lasers, neodynium yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:Yag) lasers, potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP), alexandrite lasers, and ruby lasers. Additionally, gas lasers is further subsegmented as CO2 laser, argon laser, krypton laser, metal vapor (Au and Cu) laser, helium-neon laser, and excimer laser.

The solid-state lasers segment is likely to hold the largest share of the market in 2021. Moreover, the diode laser segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period, due to their incumbent usage, high volume consumption, and product innovation. Also, these lasers are most energy-efficient and cost-effective lasers. Therefore, widely utilized in the field of medical therapies. Also, diode lasers are becoming increasingly popular in medical applications due to their small size and robustness and compactness. Other factors are cost-effectiveness, ease of operations as well as possess high efficiency as per the NCBI report. Apart from that, Open Access Publisher report states that diode lasers are also utilized in dentistry as diodes prove effective in soft-tissue surgery for achieving good coagulation and haemostasis. For e.g., the potential utility of diode lasers in dentistry is for different surgical procedures and especially in pediatric dental patients since its inception. Apart from that, diode lasers have proven effective in treating skin disorders. For records, three hundred patients have been treated with ultra-pulsed 980 nm laser for skin disorders as per the Indian Journal of Dermatology report. Also, demand for solid state laser is increasing and among all types of solid state laser, medical laser fibers is in high demand due to its advantages.

Based on application, market is segmented into dermatology, ophthalmology, gynecology, dentistry, cardiology, urology, and others. The dermatology segment is likely to hold the largest share of the market in 2021. Moreover, the ophthalmology segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period, due to growing demand laser treatment for many eye diseases treatment. Advances in medical laser systems have enabled successful surgeries for multiple eye diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and others. The lasers help to prevent vision loss and improve sight. The manufacturers are also bringing innovative products to the market. For instance, Nidek introduced the YC-200 S plus ophthalmic YAG and SLT laser system/YC-200 ophthalmic YAG laser system. This system will ensure efficacious treatments and enhancing surgeon visualization of laser delivery. Laser has been one of the mainstays for the treatment of many vitreo-retinal diseases in the years from its introduction. Advances in laser delivery systems have facilitated a new approach called the sub-threshold micro-pulse mode.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic affected economies and industries in various countries across the globe. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA) hampered the growth of several industries, including the medical device industry. During the initial surge in the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, healthcare systems in the United States (US) quickly adapted to reduce disease transmission and reserve capacity for the infected. Although elective and non-urgent procedures were initially required to be delayed. Prolonged delays or cancellations could lead to other public health crises due to preventable and chronic diseases. The disease was increasingly becoming a cause for concern throughout the healthcare field. As surgeons resumed the full spectrum of surgical practices, the Academy offered guidance on how the COVID-19 pandemic would affect surgical decision-making, particularly regarding the indications. In general, the scientific basis for assessing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in most surgeries is early and evolving. The observations and guidance would expand and change as science progresses. Even after the easing of the restrictions, the fear of infection led many patients to cancel appointments for examinations. Refractive surgery has indeed proven to be an exception and hereby appears to have benefited from a kickstart during the COVID-19 era.
