Global Uterine Manipulation Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Uterine Manipulation Devices Market Analysis

The uterine manipulator devices market is expected to witness a CAGR of 5.8% during the study period, 2022-2027.

The COVID-19 pandemic was a challenge for healthcare providers across the world as due to the high infectivity of SARS-CoV-2, the resources were diverted for the care of COVID-19 patients which affected the healthcare services other than COVID-19 which also affected the uterine manipulator devices market. For instance, according to the research study published in October 2021, titled 'Analysis of COVID-19 Response and Impact on Gynecologic Surgery at a Large Academic Hospital System', during the height of the pandemic, many patients had considerable delays in accessing gynecologic surgical care, and 942 gynecologic cases were performed in 2020 versus 1,545 cases in 2019 (a 39.0% drop). Hence, COVID-19 is expected to have a significant impact on the uterine manipulator devices market. However, with the declining cases of COVID-19, the market is expected to regain its full potential over the forecast period.

The factors propelling the studied market growth are the growing burden of diseases related to the female reproductive system, increasing technological advancements, and rising demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures. Common diseases related to the female reproductive system are endometriosis, cervical cancer, uterine fibroids, interstitial cytosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome, among others. According to February 2022 update by World Health Organization, cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally, with an estimated 604,000 new cases and 342,000 deaths in 2020. About 90% of the new cases and deaths worldwide in 2020 occurred in low- and middle-income countries.

According to an article published by endometriosis.org in March 2021, endometriosis affects an estimated 1 in 10 women during their reproductive years, usually between the ages of 15 to 49, which is approximately 176 million women in the world. Thus, the high prevalence of endometriosis will increase the demand for hysterectomy procedures, thereby driving the demand for uterine manipulation devices, thus propelling the market growth.

Additionally, the research and development procedures establishing the efficacies of the intrauterine manipulator will increase its adoption, thereby contributing to the significant growth of the market. For instance, the study 'Uterine manipulator in total laparoscopic hysterectomy: safety and usefulness,' published in December 2020, suggested that uterine manipulator provides support in cases of large uteri, severe endometriosis, recto vaginal adhesions, and regional anesthesia. Thus, the expanded scope of these devices will increase their adoptability, thus driving the market. However, some of these devices and stringent regulations regarding product approvals are expected to restrain the market growth during the study period.
