The Flexible and Semi-rigid Ureteroscopy Market is projected to reach USD 999.15 Million by 2030 at 5.50% CAGR during the forecast period 2023-2032.

The flexible & semi-rigid ureteroscopy market witnesses’ constant revenue growth. Market growth is attributed to the rising adoption of ureteroscopy methods in therapeutic & diagnostic applications. The increasing prevalence of urolithiasis and kidney cancer worldwide acts as a key tailwind for market growth. Besides, technological advances in surgical techniques and devices used in ureteroscopy increase the flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy market size. Successful integration of wireless technologies into ureteroscopes defines the growing landscape of the market.

According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the global flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy market is poised to grow at 5.50% CAGR during the forecast period. The non- invasive nature of ureteroscopy is a key driving force increasing its uptake. It takes meticulous skill sets to make flexible ureteroscopy an effective and reproducible modality. This, in turn, presents an opportunity for robotic assistance to offer the same enabling assistance as in laparoscopic surgery.

Wireless and robotic ureteroscopy are recent flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy market trends. Rising introductions of futuristic endoscope devices and room-ready wireless endoscopes push the flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy market growth. Also, increasing funding & rebates for endoscopic screening & treatment increases the market size. Moreover, rising product launches that meet the Federal Communications Commission requirements accelerate market growth. 

On the other hand, the high cost and skillsets required for semi-rigid ureteroscopy methods are major factors expected to impede the market growth. Also, side effects and risk of infection spread associated with devices used during ureteroscopy restrict the uptake of ureteroscopy. Additionally, the lack of awareness for availability & benefits obstructs flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy market growth.

Nevertheless, rising preference for less invasive treatment methods would support the market growth throughout the assessment period. Furthermore, the rising demand for effective diagnostic & therapeutic options for kidney stone and kidney cancer would increase flexible and semi-rigid ureteroscopy market share.
