Cryotherapy Market Size

Cryotherapy Market size was valued to be USD 282.6 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach USD 589.5 million in 2032 with a CAGR of 8.5% from 2024 to 2032.Some of the major factors propelling the growth of market includes the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing popularity of cryotherapy for sports and fitness applications, growing preference for minimally/ non-invasive procedures, and increasing demand for wellness and cosmetic procedures.
 

Cryotherapy is a non-invasive therapy used to treat localized tumours, abnormal skin, and discomfort. It involves the application of cold temperatures for the treatment of cancer-related lesions and malignant tissues. Cryotherapy is widely used for treating soft tissue damage, postoperative swelling, oedema, muscle pain, and sprains. The cold temperature causes blood vessels to constrict, which reduces the quantity of inflammatory cytokines responsible for causing extensive pain. Cryotherapy offers a myriad of benefits in the field of beauty and wellness such as activation of metabolism and circulation, allowing skin rejuvenation.
 

COVID-19 Impact

Due to the measures implemented to control the pandemic, resulted in sluggish demand and disruption in the supply chain of cryotherapy products. The lockdown significantly impacted the overall demand for cryotherapy globally. Due to the restrictions, manufacturers dealt with issues such as changes in purchasing patterns and re-routing of the supply chain. As COVID cases declined, the strict restrictions were eased, increasing the number of visits to hospitals and cryotherapy centers, and thereby supporting the growth of the cryotherapy market.
 

On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant rise in the number of patients with cancer and other chronic diseases such as rheumatic diseases, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, which has been attributed to being a driving force for the market. Additionally, there has been an upsurge in studies related to the advantages of cryotherapy for the treatment of COVID-19. For instance, the article "Cryotherapy as a Treatment for Loss of Smell from COVID" was published in March 2022, mentioning that the extreme cold treatment is increasingly being studied due to its health benefits. The research suggests that the extreme cold temperature can help in restoring sense of smell after COVID-19.
 

Cryotherapy Market Driving Factors

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, or osteoarthritis are driving market trends. According to World Health Organization, globally, there were 19.3 million new instances of cancer and 10.0 million cancer-related deaths in 2020. Therefore, the introduction of cryosurgery with minimal invasion offering multiple advantages over the conventional surgeries including a shorter hospital stay, quicker wound healing, and reduced discomfort. Owing to such advantages the adoption of cryotherapy for chronic diseases including cancer is significantly increasing.
 

The rising product launches and increasing technological advancements in cryotherapy devices, broadening cryotherapy applications, increasing investment in the healthcare sector by developing nations and increasing research on unexplored potential of the cryotherapy are favourable growth prospect of the market. Popularity of cryotherapy through social media and its use in beauty & wellness, and the advertisement & endorsement by athletes and celebrities is expected to propel the market expansion.

Moreover, it has applications for treating a wide range of medical conditions, reduces pain and bleeding, and allows precise targeting of abnormal tissues, which are some of the factors driving the growth of this segment.
 

Based on device, the cryotherapy market is classified into cryosurgery devices, localized cryotherapy devices, cryochambers & cryosaunas, and cryogun. The cryosurgery device segment accounted for largest market share of 39.2% in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 213.8 million by 2032. The cryosurgery device segment is further sub-segmented into tissue contact probes, tissue spray probes, and epidermal & subcutaneous cryoablation devices. Among these, the tissue contact probes accounted for highest market share due to accuracy in delivering desired amount of cold to the targeted areas and high durability.
 

The cryosurgery is minimally invasive procedures used for treating various types of medical condition such as skin cancer or prostate cancer. Due to rising prevalence of cancer and increasing number of cryosurgeries for cancer patients has increased the demand for cryosurgery devices. Other factors such as precision, versatility, cost-effectiveness, and minimal invasive nature contributes to the widespread use of cryosurgery devices.
 

Cryochambers and cryosaunas segment is expected to grow at fastest CAGR of 10.0% during the forecast period due to the advantages provided such as pain reduction, muscle repair, weight loss, reduced inflammation, dementia prevention, and improvements in eczema symptoms. 
 

Based on application, the cryotherapy market is divided into surgical applications, pain management, sports medicine and physiotherapy, and beauty applications. The surgical application segment accounted for highest revenue share in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2023 to 2033. The surgical application segment is subdivided into oncology, cardiology, dermatology, and other surgical applications. Among these, oncology segment dominated the market due to the high prevalence of cancer and increasing demand and utilization of cryotherapy for various types of cancer such as prostate or skin cancer.
 

Due to the high prevalence of cancer, high preference for minimally invasive procedures and shorter procedure time compared to traditional methods the demand for cryotherapy for surgical procedures is increasing. The utilization of cryotherapy in surgical procedures reduces the trauma to patient, reduces the post-operative pain and leads to faster recovery enhance the growth of this segment. 
 

Based on end user, the cryotherapy market is divided into hospitals & speciality clinics, cryotherapy centres, and spas & fitness centres. Hospitals & speciality clinics segment was valued at USD 148.4 million in 2022. The demand for cryosurgery and related products in hospitals and specialist clinics has increased due to the advancements in cryotherapy technology and wide applicability of cryotherapy for the treatment of various medical conditions. In the coming years, spa & fitness centres are expected to grow at highest CAGR of 10.6% as cryotherapy is a new trend in fitness and wellness due its advantages in pain management, muscle recovery, and improving circulation.
