Laser Therapy Market Analysis
Increasing consumer preference for innovative and non-invasive laser-based technologies will drive global demand for laser therapies. An increasing geriatric population will increase the demand for this technology as it helps reduce pain and inflammation. Increasing eye diseases will also promote the growth of the laser therapy market. Increase in personal disposable income and demand for cosmetic surgeries are further expected to create more lucrative opportunities for market growth. The introduction of laser therapy devices by doctors and medical professionals for the treatment of scars and wounds, as well as their diverse applications, such as tissue coagulation and elimination of malignant tumors, are increasing the demand for these advanced medical technologies. However, the high cost of installing and maintaining the technology will slow market growth. Additionally, strict government regulations on acquiring and installing the technology will slow market growth.
Laser Therapy Market Overview
Laser therapy uses the mechanism of photobiomodulation, in which the photons penetrate the tissue and interact with it. This interaction increases cellular metabolism and helps reduce pain and inflammation. Minimally invasive surgical procedures have come into the spotlight in global healthcare. The emergence of surgical wounds and associated infections from conventional procedures has necessitated a shift to alternative approaches. There is a growing need for portable and handheld laser devices for home and outpatient treatments. A significant expansion of applications beyond traditional dermatology, with laser therapy devices in dentistry, ophthalmology, and oncology, is expected to shape the market outlook. The high rate of failure of laser-based surgical procedures and the side effects of laser therapy will further hinder the market growth.
