Global Gynecological Devices Market - Competitive Landscape
Key players operating in the gynecological devices market include Ethicon, Inc., Hologic, Inc., MedGyn Product Inc., Stryker Corporation, Cooper Surgical, Inc., Karl Storz GmbH& Co. KG, Boston Scientific Corporation, Richard Wolf GmbH, Medtronic, and Olympus Corporation.
Gynecological devices include devices such as diagnostic imaging devices, surgical devices, sterilization and other devices for diagnosis and treatment of various disease among women. Most of the women worldwide are oblivious to the high risk of dreadful diseases such as cervical cancer, pelvic pain, uterine fibroids, and vaginitis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) runs a National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) that aims to create awareness and provide women in the low-income groups with regular breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services. Early detection is vital in treating such diseases, and such initiatives are expected to propel growth of the gynecological devices market. Additionally, increasing prevalence of gynecological diseases is expected to drive demand for gynecological surgical devices.
Market Dynamics
Increasing prevalence of cervical cancer worldwide is expected to boost the global gynecological devices market growth. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), 2018, cervical cancer is the fourth most frequent cancer in women with an estimated 570,000 new cases, representing 6.6% of all cancers occurring in female worldwide, and around 85% of deaths occur due to cervical cancer in emerging economies.
