High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Therapy Market Drivers and Opportunities

Market Drivers:

• Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases and Cancer: The number of prostate cancer cases is expected to grow from 1.4 million in 2020 to 2.9 million in 2040. HIFU and other focused therapies are becoming more and more in demand due to conditions such as uterine fibroids, kidney stones, and heart disease.
• Soaring Preference for Noninvasive Procedures: Noninvasive therapy is more widely accepted among patients with the hope of quicker recovery, less pain, and no anesthesia needed. HIFU therapists prefer these surgical methods.
• Aging Population and Heightened Awareness: Growing awareness of early diagnosis, driven by advancements in the pharmaceutical and clinical trial industries, is increasing demand—particularly influenced by the aging population and expanding medical knowledge.

Market Opportunities:

• Expansion into Emerging Applications: HIFU is becoming a common practice among dermatological doctors as a treatment for skin firming and wrinkle lessening, as it is an effective noninvasive method. The aesthetic application is rapidly growing along with the medical applications in neurology (e.g., tremor, Parkinson’s), gynecology (fibroids, endometriosis), and pain management.
• Geographic Penetration in Emerging Markets: The growing healthcare investment in emerging economies is driving HIFU adoption, especially in APAC and Latin America. Medical tourism, the influx of new incomes, and the improvement of infrastructures in these developing markets are the main sources of their underestimated potential.
• Shift Toward Outpatient and Day Surgery Centers: Outpatient procedures are gaining traction, and HIFU is now being used in day surgery centers for its noninvasive nature and reduced recovery times. The development of ambulatory surgical centers facilitates same-day HIFU treatment with lower costs and faster recovery times. In the US, the FDA-approved Sonablate HIFU device has become popular among outpatient clinics as more urologists suggest the use of HIFU as a first-line therapy in case of low-to-moderate risk prostate cancer patients, particularly those who are not surgical candidates.
