Nephrology and urology devices are used for treatment of kidney and urinary system related problems such as chronic kidney disease, kidney stone, benign prostatic hyperplasia, urinary incontinence and pelvic organs prolapse. There are multiple options available for treatment of urology diseases and physicians suggest suitable options depending upon health conditions of patients and stage of disease.
The global nephrology and urology devices market is estimated to account for US$ 23,192.8 Mn in terms of value in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ 35,823.0 Mn by the end of 2027.
Global Nephrology and Urology Devices Market: Drivers
Increasing prevalence of chronic kidney diseases is expected to propel growth of the global nephrology and urology devices market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the study, ‘Risk Factors and Rate of Progression of CKD in Children’, published in June 2019 in Kidney International Reports, 38% children experienced progression of chronic kidney disease within 2 years of follow-up.
Moreover, increasing preference for minimally invasive and non-invasive treatment procedures is also expected to boost demand for nephrology and urology devices. Minimally invasive and non-invasive surgical treatments for urology diseases such as incontinence, urinary stone, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as it considerably reduces the treatment cost and time over conventional surgical methods. Advanced treatment methods used for urinary stone treatments such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and laser stone surgery increases treatment efficacy and speed and minimizes hospitalization days, which reduce the financial burden from the patient.
Dialysis Devices held dominant position in the global nephrology and urology devices market in 2019, accounting for 71.3% share in terms of value.

Global Nephrology and Urology Devices Market: Restraints
High installation prices of device for lithotripters and advanced machines is expected to hinder growth of the global nephrology and urology devices market. Advanced technology devices such as ESWL, dialysis machines, and endoscopy devices are not affordable for small and many midsized healthcare providers. Lithotripter machines integrated with localization systems and lithotripsy table cost US$ 380,000 to US$ 450,000 in Europe. Installation of low budget lithotripsy machine costs at an average US$ 250,000, whereas in India, installation of lithotripters machines cost at an average US$ 350,000.
Moreover, product recalls are also expected to hinder growth of the global nephrology and urology devices market. For instance, in May 2020, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration designated Applied Medical’s recall of three latex balloon catheters as a class 1 recall, the most serious kind, which will affect 19,400 catheters (Python embolectomy catheters, Bard embolectomy catheters, OTW Latis cleaning catheters).
