The global high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy market is predicted to reach US$ 310.5 Million by 2030. HIFU therapy is a medical procedure, which involves the application of focused ultrasonic waves to eliminate diseased tissue through ablation. In clinics, HIFU has been applied to treat a variety of solid malignant tumors in a well-defined volume, including the pancreas, liver, prostate, breast, uterine fibroids, and soft-tissue sarcomas. The market is primarily driven by the increasing cancer patient’s population, growing demand for minimally invasive treatment procedures, and increasing public-private investments. Moreover, increasing development in medical technology and its wide-range applications used in the treatment of uterine fibroids, neurological disorders, and aesthetics application, have fueled growth of the market. However, the side effects associated with the use of HIFU therapy and the high cost of HIFU treatment are the key challenges restraining the growth of this market.
