Medical lasers are a multibillion-dollar global industry. Lasers are used in a wide range of medical applications, from cosmetic procedures to diagnosis and therapy. The global recession that started in 2008 has had a significant negative impact on the market for medical lasers. Much of the demand for medical lasers comes from elective procedures such as laser-assisted eye surgery, which many consumers are postponing as they tighten their belts in response to the recession. Somewhat paradoxically, the market for lasers used in certain minimally invasive cosmetic surgical procedures (e.g., hair restoration, photo-rejuvenation with intense pulsed light, and laser body contouring) has held relatively well in the recession. Meanwhile, the market for lasers used in surgical applications that cannot wait until the economy turns around has remained comparatively strong. The longer-term outlook for the medical laser market is much better. Indeed, demand may experience a “bump” as the recession ends and consumers who have postponed elective laser procedures during the recession decide to have them.
Another force for possible change in the medical laser market is the healthcare restructuring legislation now being considered by the U.S. Congress. For example, one of the proposals for financing expanded health insurance coverage is a tax on cosmetic surgical procedures. If this proposal becomes law, it could reduce the demand for such procedures and by extension the market for medical lasers used in cosmetic procedures.
Meanwhile, medical laser technology is continuing to evolve. New laser sources with potential medical applications include fiber lasers, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and organic LEDs (OLEDs). Plastic foils as surface emitters could become important as irradiation source in photo-dynamic therapy (PDT). In addition to new laser sources, the development of new applicators and tool holders will continue to widen the range of applications for existing types of laser. Finally, the spread of new laser applications such as nanosurgery, OCT, and sophisticated fluorescence microscopy will stimulate the growth of the medical laser market.
The market for medical lasers, in other words, is in a period of considerable flux. The overall goal of this study is to provide the reader with an understanding of the technological, economic, and regulatory forces that will influence the future size and structure of the market for medical lasers.
Specific objectives include the following:
The report is intended especially for vendors of medical lasers, as well as government agencies, healthcare policy analysts, and others seeking to understand the medical applications of laser technologies. Although the report focuses on specific technologies, it is largely non-technical in nature. That is, it is concerned less with theory and jargon than with what works, how much of the latter the market is likely to purchase, and at what price.
As such, the report’s main audience is executive management, marketing and financial analysts. It is not written specifically for scientists and technologists, although its findings concerned the market for their work, including the availability of government and corporate research funding for different technologies and applications should interest them as well
The report addresses the global market for lasers used in diagnostic, therapeutic, and cosmetic applications during the period from 2008 through 2014. It does not cover the market for lasers used in the fabrication of medical devices (e.g., in the creation of microscopic features and spot welds). The focus is on the market for lasers themselves, rather than the larger pieces of equipment that incorporate them.
The format of the study includes the following elements:
