Lithotripsy Device Market Analysis
The Lithotripsy Device Market size is estimated at USD 1.75 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 2.24 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.16% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on the lithotripsy device market initially. With the outbreak of COVID-19, the lithotripsy device market experienced a decline in growth. The non-COVID treatment such as surgical interventions and non-urgent medical treatment was temporarily postponed or canceled amid the pandemic. The data published by Kidney Care UK in March 2021, stated that over 56% of the patients reported disruption in their care received from the National Health Service (NHS). It was further stated that over 28% of the patients were waiting for surgery and could not get their regular appointment. Over 18% of the patients faced challenges to contact their general practitioner or hospital teams for medical consultations and over 7% of the patients reported being unwell because of the delay in their treatment and care. However, in the post-pandemic period, the number of COVID-19 cases has decreased and the lifting of the lockdown along with the resumption of elective, non-COVID, and non-urgent procedures are expected to enable the market to increase gradually in coming years. Thus, the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely impacted the market's growth in its preliminary phase. Moreover, the market is expected to grow further at a stable pace with the resumption of kidney care and kidney stone removal procedures, globally.
Further, the market is expected to grow further with the increasing incidence of urolithiasis, a rise in the number of extracorporeal shock waves lithotripsy procedures, and technological advancements coupled with rising awareness. Urolithiasis is a common urologic problem, and it poses a significant burden on the healthcare system globally. It is associated with an increased risk of end-stage renal failure, which is driving the demand for lithotripsy devices. As per a study published in the journal Urolithiasis in February 2021, the incidence of nephrolithiasis has been increasing every year, with an estimated incidence rate of 10.1% in the United States. Thus, the increasing global prevalence of urolithiasis necessitates safe, efficacious, and affordable treatment for urolithiasis. Over the years, lithotripsy has become the most preferred method for the treatment of kidney stones, mainly due to the advantage of its relative safety, low cost, less recovery time, and positive patient outcomes. Thus, all these factors are responsible for driving the market's growth.
Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period. However, the adverse effects associated with lithotripsy, and the availability of alternative treatments for stone removal is likely to impede market growth.
Lithotripsy Device Market Trends
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) Devices Segment Expected to Have a Significant Market Share
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a technique for treating stones in the kidney and ureter that do not require surgery. Instead, high-energy shock waves are passed through the body and used to break stones into pieces as small as grains of sand. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy devices (ESWL) are used for the treatment of kidney and ureter stones. This technology has been utilized by physicians worldwide and is expected to increase its penetration over the coming years due to the advantages offered, such as minimal invasiveness, reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery time. Generally, this procedure is considered safe and less time-consuming as it takes only 45 minutes to perform. The growing demand for non-invasive procedures is leading to the adoption of ESWL. A study published in the Journal Disease Markers in July 2022 highlighted the high efficacy of ESWL for the management of urinary calculi. The study further highlighted the safety, and lower low incidence of adverse events, after the procedure. Further, a study published in the Urolithiasis in January 2023, underlines the minimally invasive nature of the ESWL procedure and its wide usage. The study stated that over 92% of the kidney stones patients covered in the study had their kidney stones cleared after the ESWL procedure.
Further, the key developments in the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy segment is also expected to boost the growth of the segment. For instance, in September 2022, Advanced MedTech Holdings, the acquired the WIKKON, Chinese company of urology and shock wave therapy devices. The acquisition would strengthen the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy portfolio of Advanced MedTech Holdings with the WIKKON advanced portfolio of urological solutions. Further, in June 2021, STORZ MEDICAL received the FDA 510 (k) clearance for its MODULITH SLX-F2 extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter for the new indications. With the FDA 510 (k) clearance the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter would be able to offer non-invasive treatment of kidney stone.
Therefore, the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to the abovementioned factors, including its usage in the management of kidney stones and key developments in the segment.

North America Holds the Significant Share of the Lithotripsy Device Market
In North America, the lithotripsy devices market is projected to witness growth over the forecast period. Chronic kidney diseases are estimated to be more common in women than men. The number of chronic kidney diseases is found to be increasing globally. Kidney disease statistics for the US convey the burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). According to the data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in July 2022, around 37 million people, i.e., 1 out of every 7, or 15% of the adult population, were estimated to have chronic kidney diseases. With the increasing cases of kidney disease, over 50,000 lithotripsy procedures are completed annually in the United States, which helps drive the lithotripsy devices market. A study published in the journal Medicina by the researchers of Mexico, in March 2022, highlighted the high prevalence and recurrence of Nephrolithiasis and the required surgical interventions in the population of Southeast Mexico.
Further, the developments and investment in the region are also expected to boost the growth of the lithotripsy market in North America. For instance, in July 2022, a United States based medical device company that is focused on kidney care and kidney stones management, received funding of USD 32.7 million in the Series C financing round led by Questa Capital and CR Group L.P. (CRG). Further, in November 2022, Adventist Health Hanford invested over USD 250,000 into the new laser technology for the treatment of kidney stones. Under the investment, the hospital would purchase Lumenis Pulse 120H Holmium Laser System with MOSES Technology which is capable to offer faster procedures by saving 20% of the time, less use of anesthesia, faster recovery times, and ease of treating outpatients without a hospital stay.
Therefore, owing to the aforesaid factors the growth of the studied market is anticipated in the North America Region.

Lithotripsy Device Industry Segmentation
As per the scope of the report, lithotripsy is a procedure that uses shock waves to break up the stones in the kidney, bladder, or ureter. After the procedure, tiny pieces of stones pass out of the body through the process of urination. However, large-sized stones are not able to pass through routine urination. Thus, the formation of stones can lead to bleeding, severe pain in the urinary tract, infection, and kidney damage. The lithotripsy device market is segmented into by Type (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy Devices and Intracorporeal Lithotripsy Devices), Application (Kidney Stones, Ureteral Stones, Pancreatic Stones, and Bile Duct Stones), End User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Other End Users), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South America). The market report also covers the estimated market sizes and trends for 17 different countries across major regions, globally. The report offers the value (in USD million) for the above segments.
