Ablation Technology Market Report 2025

This Ablation Technology market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The ablation technology market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.35 billion in 2024 to $5.84 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing awareness among patients and physicians, increasing healthcare expenditure, rising disposable income, growing acceptance of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and increasing access to ablation procedures.

The ablation technology market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.2 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, growing demand for minimally invasive procedures, aging population, increasing surgical procedures, and government initiatives supporting healthcare infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, the use of ablation technology in treating various types of tumors, improved healthcare access, advantages over traditional surgery, and collaborations and partnerships.

The increasing demand for minimally invasive treatments is expected to drive the growth of the ablation technology market. Minimally invasive treatments involve performing medical procedures through small incisions or natural body openings using specialized instruments guided by imaging techniques. These treatments are gaining popularity due to their ability to reduce recovery times, lower surgical risks, and improve patient outcomes compared to traditional surgical methods. Ablation technology plays a crucial role in these procedures by targeting and destroying diseased tissues with high precision while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. For example, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported in January 2023 that the number of minimally invasive cosmetic surgeries in the US increased from approximately 23.7 million in 2022 to around 25.4 million in 2023, reflecting a 7% rise. Consequently, the growing demand for minimally invasive treatments is fueling the expansion of the ablation technology market.

Leading companies in the ablation technology sector are focusing on developing advanced technologies such as thin-film electrode technology to enhance precision and effectiveness in treating cardiac arrhythmias, shorten procedure times, and improve patient outcomes. Thin-film electrode technology involves using ultra-thin conductive layers to create precise electrodes for targeted ablation treatments. For instance, in March 2024, NeuroOne, a US-based medical equipment manufacturer, introduced the OneRF Ablation System. This system employs thin-film, stereo electroencephalography (SEEG)-guided radiofrequency (RF) technology to record electrical activity and perform precise ablation of nervous tissue with temperature controls, using the same electrode for both diagnosis and treatment. The OneRF ablation system is NeuroOne’s first therapeutic device and its third FDA-cleared product, complementing the company’s Evo cortical and sEEG electrode lines, which are used for short-term brain electrical activity recording.

In August 2022, Medtronic plc, a US-based medical device company, acquired Affera Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition underscores Medtronic's strategic focus on advancing its electrophysiology capabilities and improving the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias with innovative catheter-based technologies. Affera Inc., based in the US, specializes in ablation technology.

Major companies operating in the ablation technology market are Johnson & Johnson, Abbott Laboratories, Medtronic Plc., Siemens Healthineers AG, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Stryker Corporation, Boston Scientific Corporation, Olympus America, Terumo Corporation, Smith & Nephew plc, Hologic Inc., Perseon Corporation, Conmed Corporation, Accuray Incorporated, AtriCure Inc., AngioDynamics, Biosense Webster Inc., HealthTronics, Creo Medical Ltd., Misonix, NxThera, MedWaves Inc., Theraclion.

Ablation technology involves the removal or destruction of tissue using methods such as heat, cold, chemicals, or lasers. It is widely used in medical procedures to address conditions such as tumors, arrhythmias, or chronic pain, providing a minimally invasive approach with precise targeting and reduced damage to surrounding tissues.

The main types of ablation technology products include cryoablation devices, electrical ablators, hydrothermal or hydromechanical ablators, laser or light ablators, microwave ablators, radiofrequency ablators, ultrasound ablators, and others. Cryoablation devices are used in interventional radiology and surgery to destroy tissue through extreme cold. These devices employ various technologies such as thermal and non-thermal ablation techniques. Applications for ablation technology span several medical fields, including cardiovascular disease treatment, cancer therapy, gynecological procedures, cosmetic or aesthetic surgery, pain management, orthopedic treatment, urological care, and ophthalmologic treatment. The end users of these technologies include ambulatory surgical centers, hospitals and ablation centers, medical spas and aesthetic clinics, and other medical facilities.
