Hysteroscopy Systems Market

Hysteroscopy Systems Market Outlook

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), U.S., women are at risk for developing uterine cancers and the probability increases with age.

Furthermore, uterine fibroids (leiomyomas or myomas) are the most common benign pelvic tumours in women. It is estimated that 80% of women develop uterine fibroids during their lifetime.

Awareness for Hysteroscopy Procedures to Spike, on the Back of Increasing Reimbursement Policies

Gradual shift in reimbursement policies has pumped up the prevalence of hysteroscopy in office-based set-ups.

As per the report of national payment amounts, consumer spending on hysteroscopy procedures performed in office has increased threefold, accounting for an average of US$ 1,382.1 in 2017 as compared to US$ 409.6 in 2016.

Furthermore, increasing awareness among people is playing an important role in the overall growth of the market. Several awareness programs such as “My hysteroscope is my Stethoscope” are encouraging gynecologists to use hysteroscopy as a diagnostic tool.

In recent years, office-based hysteroscopes are gaining popularity, thus creating new and robust opportunities for growth of the hysteroscopy systems market.

North America and Europe to Maintain Hegemony as FDA Amps up Regulations

North America along with Europe together accounted for nearly half of the market share in the hysteroscopy systems market.

The increased adoption of hysteroscopy systems in the North America is attributable to the replacement of traditional methods with hysteroscopy and encouragement of office based hysteroscopy procedures.

This offers lucrative opportunities for growth of the market in these regions. Furthermore, initiatives by the regulatory authorities will further heighten the demand for hysteroscopy systems.

For instance, in April 2018, the FDA ordered restrictions on the sale and distribution of Essure, a device for female sterilization. This was done to ensure that all women are provided with adequate risk information to make informed decisions. Such directives will propel the market growth in these regions.
