Radiofrequency ablation market projections
As per the Technavio’s market research report, the global radiofrequency ablation market is expected to grow at a steady rate and post a CAGR of close to 9% during the forecast period. The growing demand for minimally invasive (MI) procedures will drive the growth prospects for the global radiofrequency ablation market until the end of 2021. The MI technique such as radiofrequency ablation is gaining traction in the market because it reduces the risk of infections, causes minimal complications and pain, and shortens the hospital stay and recovery time.
Also, this technique is highly useful to treat patients with comorbidities and complications and are highly preferred over other traditional procedures and surgeries. Furthermore, with the growing number of training programs conducted by various device manufacturers on the use of radiofrequency ablation devices, the adoption rate of tissue ablation devices in various medical facilities will increase as it helps surgeons to gain experience in using MI devices and performing procedures.
