Surgical Laser Fiber Units Market Analysis

Several market players are launching innovative medical laser fibers in the market, which is likely to boost the global surgical laser fiber units market   growth. A few recent product launches in the global surgical laser fiber units market are as follows:

• In August 2023, InnoVoyce launched a new 300-micron fiber designed to deliver greater flexibility and control during vocal repair procedures. With the assistance of a new delivery system, physicians can improve these aspects to target treatment areas and minimize the risk of damage to surrounding tissue.

• In February 2023, Honeywell introduced 25 decitex ultra-fine fiber to its Spectra Medical Grade (MG) BIO portfolio at MD&M West. This fiber is designed for minimally invasive cardiovascular and orthopedic devices, offering greater strength and improved longevity than traditional materials such as polyester and nylon.

Furthermore, innovative laser hair removal devices introduced by market players such as Lumenis help in improving efficacy and minimizing patient discomfort, addressing the demand for long-lasting hair removal solutions. Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) devices use laser fibers to deliver energy directly into the vein, causing it to close and be reabsorbed by the body. Companies such as AngioDynamics offer advanced laser systems specifically for vascular applications. Therefore, as laser therapy enhances patient experiences and treatment outcomes in aesthetic procedures, the demand for effective medical laser fibers is expected to rise substantially.

Surgical Laser Fiber Units Market Overview

The demand for laser fibers in China is rapidly growing due to a rising number of robotic surgical procedures, an increasing aging population, and surging technological advancements. Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is among the common diseases observed in aging males. It is reported that BPH occurs in 25% to 65% of men aged over 40 years. If BPH is left untreated, it may lead to serious complications such as renal insufficiency and failure, urinary tract infection, acute urinary retention (AUR), and bladder stones. The Urological Chinese Oncology Group (UCOG) aims to develop a robotic surgery approach for prostate cancer biopsies. As robotic surgery and minimally invasive techniques are gaining traction in the medical field, especially in oncology, the demand for advanced surgical laser fiber units that offer precision, flexibility, and safety during procedures such as prostate cancer biopsies is propelling in tandem. This trend in robotic surgeries and its integration with laser technologies drive the demand for high-performance laser fibers in urological, oncological, dermatology, gynecology, cardiology, neurology, and ophthalmology applications.

Surgical Laser Fiber Units Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Adoption of Minimally Invasive Surgeries Fuels Market

Surgeons performing minimally invasive surgeries benefit from medical laser fibers as they enable precise delivery of laser energy to target tissues, minimize damage and scarring, and cauterize blood vessels to reduce bleeding. The advancement of surgical equipment has expanded the scope of minimally invasive surgical procedures, increasing the demand for these lasers. Recently, fiber lasers have gained popularity in photonics due to their robustness and reliability, making them ideal for surgical applications. According to the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases, over 20 million endoscopic surgeries are performed annually in the US, making it the most common type of minimally invasive surgery. As low surgically intensive procedures become standard, the use of laser fiber technology to treat various conditions particularly in gynecology, urology, ophthalmology, and dentistry is rising. For example, Typenex Medical, LLC offers Fibernex Laser Fibers for endoscopic surgeries.

The surging popularity of laser-based minimally invasive procedures such as LASIK drives the demand for medical laser fibers. According to an article from myvision.org, LASIK is one of the most commonly performed laser eye procedures in the US, and over 20 million LASIK procedures were performed in 2022. The shift toward laser-based treatments in various medical fields drives the adoption of medical laser fibers, as they provide the flexibility, precision, and effectiveness required for low-intensity surgeries. Thus, with the growing adoption of advanced laser technologies by healthcare providers to enhance patient outcomes and reduce recovery times, the need for high-quality medical laser fibers is propelling, thereby driving its market growth.

Increasing Use of Lasers in Aesthetic Medicine Offers Lucrative Market Opportunities

As consumers become more aware of their appearance, noninvasive and minimally invasive procedures—such as laser skin resurfacing, hair removal, and tattoo removal—are gaining popularity. This trend toward aesthetic laser treatments is expected to drive investment in laser technologies and fibers, expanding their use in cosmetic and dermatological practices. As per the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) report published in 2022, 2.915 billion skin treatment procedures, including laser hair removal, laser treatment of leg veins, IPL treatment, and laser tattoo removal, were performed in 2022. According to the ASPS 2022 report, the number of laser vein treatments, specifically sclerotherapy, grew by 22% from 2020 to 2022.

Laser therapies, including fractional CO2 and erbium laser treatments, are commonly used for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation. These procedures employ medical laser fibers to target skin imperfections such as wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation. For instance, companies such as Candela Medical have developed advanced laser systems that use these fibers to deliver precise energy for effective skin rejuvenation.
