Market Overview:
The prevalence of prostate disorders has become widespread, and Market Research Future (MRFR) perceives the growth of the global Prostate Laser Surgery Industry Analysis Application to be healthy at a CAGR of 7.2% over the forecast period of 2017-2023. Spiraling incidences of urology disorders such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or enlargement of the prostate induces high demand for prostate laser surgery. Such disorders are more common among the geriatric population. Rising geriatric population across the globe is a prime factor in shaping the growth of the global prostate laser surgery market.

A growing preference for minimally invasive surgical procedures is a significant factor in driving the growth of the global prostate laser surgery market. Laser surgery is associated with benefits such as speedy relief, minimal blood loss, and reduced post-operative complications.

Other driving factors include surging awareness about urological disorders, favorable reimbursement scenario, and continuous R&D efforts to improve laser surgical procedures. Besides, a growing number of FDA approvals for new laser devices stimulate the market growth. On the flip side, the market growth might be restricted by high costs of laser surgical procedures which hinders growth in cost-sensitive markets. Also, lack of awareness, affordability, and preference for other treatment options also limits the market growth considerably.
