Market Segmentation in Detailed:
The flexible & semi-rigid ureteroscopy market is segmented based on type, application, end user, and region.
By product type, the flexible & semi-rigid market is categorized into flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopes. The flexible ureteroscopes segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global flexible & semi-rigid ureteroscopy market in 2018. Also, technological advancements are allowing hospitals to switch from rigid/semi-rigid ureteroscopes to flexible and fully digital ureteroscopes for improving the accuracy and effectiveness of treatment procedures as well as reducing their overall cost. The flexible ureteroscopes market is further segmented into fiber optic and digital ureteroscopes
Based on application, the flexible & semi-rigid ureteroscopy market is segmented into urolithiasis, urinary stricture, and kidney cancer. Urolithiasis is the largest application segment. Market growth can primarily be attributed to the increasing incidence of kidney stones and the widespread adoption of ureteroscopes in diagnostics.
On the basis of region, the flexible & semi-rigid ureteroscopy market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia, and the Rest of the World (RoW). In 2018, North America is expected to command the largest share of the flexible & semi-rigid ureteroscopy market. The large share of this market segment can be attributed to the high prevalence of kidney stones in this region and the large number of surgeries performed each year. However, the high cost of ureteroscopy procedures is expected to restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period.
Some of the major players operating in this market are Olympus (Japan), Stryker (US), Boston Scientific (US), KARL STORZ (Switzerland), Richard Wolf (Germany), ELMED Medical Systems (Turkey), Rocamed (France), Maxer Endoscopy (Germany), ProSurg (US), and Vimex Endoscopy (Poland).
