The varicose veins treatment market refers to the market for products and services used to treat varicose veins. Varicose veins are enlarged and twisted veins that can be seen through the skin, most commonly in the legs. They can cause discomfort, pain, and swelling, and can be a sign of a more serious underlying condition.
The global varicose veins treatment device market was estimated at USD 2.2 billion in 2032, and is speculated to be surging at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period (2023–2032), says Market Research Future (MRFR).
The varicose veins treatment market is a rapidly growing market that is driven by an increase in the prevalence of varicose veins worldwide. Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen, and twisted veins that are visible just below the surface of the skin, usually in the legs. The market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures and the rising adoption of new and innovative treatment options.
Market Drivers and Top Barriers
According to reports, roughly 24% of adults in the United States (U.S) suffer from varicose veins, with approximately 6% afflicted with more advanced chronic venous diseases, like hyperpigmentation, healed and active ulcer. In general, the elderly population is comparatively more prone to varicose veins compared with other age groups. There is considerable effect of aging on the functions and the structure of the veins, leading to excruciating pain and discomfort. It is estimated that above the age of 50, at least one out of two people is affected by varicose veins. Obese people as well as pregnant women are also found to be susceptible to this condition. These factors have made way for the introduction of various treatments that are now available in the market, including laser therapy, radiofrequency ablation and sclerotherapy. Among these, the treatment method of sclerotherapy is highly popular as a first line of treatment for varicose, in addition to reticular and spider veins.
Besides, rising demand for minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of varicose veins, coupled with the increasing investments by the renowned players for the development of innovative and effective products will prove to be beneficial for the market in the long run. As varicose veins are aesthetically displeasing, they can be problematic in case they cause aching, pain, swelling, and substantial discomfort. In extreme situations, these veins can even rupture, resulting in ulcers. At present, most of the private healthcare providers are providing enhanced minimally invasive techniques.
Moreover, varicose veins surgical procedures are bound to undergo tremendous changes in the coming years, with surgery being largely replaced by noninvasive procedures. On account of the risk of infections linked with invasive surgeries, preference for noninvasive surgeries has surged in the past couple of years. Thus, the sum of these factors is expected to provide a significant push to the varicose vein treatment market, garnering massive revenue in the process.
