Disposable Ureteroscope Market to Grow with a CAGR of 3.86% through 2030

The increasing prevalence of kidney diseases is expected to drive the growth of the global disposable ureteroscope market in the forecast period, 2026-2030.


According to TechSci Research report, “Disposable Ureteroscope Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2030F”, Global Disposable Ureteroscope Market was valued at USD 251.22 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 315.24 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 3.86% during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries because they are economically viable and safer, and also reduce the waiting time in hospitals. Additionally, the growing geriatric population along with the demand for advanced treatment and multiple treatment options by patients diagnosed especially in the developed countries in North America and Europe is expected to create lucrative opportunities for market growth in coming years. Besides, the increasing prevalence of chronic kidney diseases and rapid innovations in product performance and optical imaging is further expected to support the market growth.  Similarly, the growing prevalence of urolithiasis and urolithic cancer is expected to create significant growth during the forecast period. Also, the growing adoption of disposable flexible disposable ureteroscope and the increasing percentage of the obese population also positively impact the growth of the market over the years.

However, high cost of the disposable ureteroscope device for the treatment of kidney diseases in the developing countries slow down the growth of global disposable ureteroscope market in the forecast period. Similarly, high risks and complications associated with device may hamper the disposable ureteroscope market growth during the forecast period. Also, lack of awareness regarding the advanced treatment and lack of healthcare infrastructure in emerging countries can further restrict the growth of global disposable ureteroscope market.

The global disposable ureteroscope market is segmented into product type, application, end user, regional distribution and company.

Based on Product Type, the rigid category shows the fastest‑growth over the forecast period. Rigid scopes are gaining traction primarily due to their sturdy design, cost-efficiency, and suitability for specific clinical scenarios. These devices offer excellent torque stability and precise control, which is especially valuable in lower ureteral stone removal, diagnostic procedures, and when navigating narrow anatomical paths where flexible scopes may not be as effective. Many urologists prefer rigid disposable scopes for procedures that demand reliable mechanical performance, particularly in high-volume outpatient centers where rapid turnover and consistent functionality are critical. Another key growth drive is the affordability and streamlined logistics associated with rigid disposable ureteroscopes. Compared to flexible devices, their simpler structure reduces manufacturing and per-procedure costs. These cost benefits become especially relevant in healthcare systems that promote value-based care or increasingly rely on ambulatory surgery centers, where economic efficiency and turnover speed are prioritized. Without the need for complex reprocessing or extensive cleaning procedures, rigid devices can be used once and safely discarded, minimizing infection risk and saving valuable time and resources.

Based on the Region, the Asia Pacific region is currently the fastest-growing market for disposable ureteroscopes, propelled by a powerful mix of demographic, healthcare policy, and technological factors. Rapid urbanization and rising disposable incomes have led to increased demand for quality healthcare services—and urological conditions like kidney stones and urinary tract infections are becoming more common due to changing dietary habits and aging populations. Governments across China, India, Southeast Asia, and Australia are responding by investing heavily in healthcare modernization, including expanding access to minimally invasive surgical options in both public and private hospitals. These initiatives frequently include upgrading operating theaters and outpatient surgery centers, which are increasingly outfitted with single-use tools like disposable ureteroscopes to ensure infection safety and reduce workflow disruption. Additionally, the region is shifting toward ambulatory and day‑surgery models to reduce inpatient burdens, allowing high patient volumes to be managed safely and economically. Disposable ureteroscopes are ideal for these environments: they eliminate reprocessing delays, minimize turnaround time between cases, and help maintain consistent image quality and operability—especially during busy workflows. Countries in the Asia Pacific are also actively importing and adopting advanced scopes with high-definition optics and navigational features, supported by favorable regulatory processes and government subsidies.
