The global cryotherapy market is segmented on the basis device type, therapy, application and geography. The device type is further segmented into cryoprobes, cryochambers, gas cylinders, gas pressure gauges and thermocouple devices. The therapies are used in pain management with help of gases like carbon dioxide, argon, liquid nitrogen and dimethyl ether- propane. The gases are used externally with cryoprobes and cryoguns. It naturally follows that cryoguns are by far the most advocated market followed by cryoprobes.
Based on therapy type, cryotherapy market is segmented into cryosurgery, ice pack therapy and chamber therapy. Cryosurgery holds major market share owing to dominant number of minimally invasive surgery. Cryosurgery helps in treating the damaged tissues without hurting the damaged tissues in the body. Lesser side-effects and faster recovery would influence the market during forecast period.
Cryotherapy is employed in treatment of listed diseases such as oncology, dermatology, cardiology, ophthalmology and gynecology. Oncology dominated the market segment because of increasing number of patients suffering from cancer and growing number of mortality cases.
Region wise, North America dominates the entire cryotherapy market.
