Global Interventional Oncology Ablation Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

• Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.
• COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others, faced problems with the transportation of things from one place to another.
• The coronavirus, or COVID-19 outbreak, that started in Wuhan, China, has spread across continents, affecting various industries globally. The supply of key materials, such as probes required for interventional ablation, has been severely disrupted due to forced quarantines and lockdowns in various countries. This has led to disruptions in the link between regional warehouses, and the transportation of materials between regions cannot be carried out successfully. This shortage of probes required for interventional ablation materials and components used with the interventional ablation devices has affected the supply chain of the global interventional oncology ablation market.

Global Interventional Oncology Ablation Market Segmentation:

The global interventional oncology ablation market report is segmented by technology, by indication, by end user, and by region.

• By technology, the market is segmented into radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, cryoablation, and irreversible electroporation ablation. Out of which, the radiofrequency ablation is expected to hold a dominant position in the global interventional oncology ablation market during the forecast period, and this is attributed to the increasing product launches by market players.
• By Indication, the market is segmented into liver cancer, kidney cancer, lung cancer, and others. Out of which, lung cancer is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period, and this is attributed to increasing product launches for lung cancer.
• By end user, the market is segmented into hospitals & clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. Out of which, hospitals is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period, and this is attributed to the prompt treatment that can lead to proper recovery.
• Among all the segmentation, the lung cancer segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period, and this is attributed to increasing research and development activities by market players. For instance, on March 7, 2023, Galvanize Therapeutics, Inc. a biomedical platform company presented data at SIR 2023, including PEF safety and feasibility results in patients with non-small cell lung cancer and pre-clinical results comparing PEF and radiofrequency ablation.

Global Interventional Oncology Ablation Market- Cross Sectional Analysis:

Among indication, liver cancer segment is expected to boost the interventional oncology ablation market in the North America region. For instance, in March 2022, Quantum Surgical SAS a medical robotics company received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for Epione, a new category of interventional oncology robotics dedicated to minimally invasive liver cancer treatment. Epione is a unique robotic-assisted technology that can plan, target, deliver, and confirm tumor ablation.

Global Interventional Oncology Ablation Market: Key Developments

• On April 4, 2023, Ethicon, a part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech Company, announced the first patient treated in the North America with robot-assisted transbronchial microwave ablation as part of the global Ethicon POWER Study.
