The global Endometrial Ablation Market size is expected to reach USD 5.4 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 5.2% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Some of the key players in this industry are Medtronic, CooperSurgical Inc., Boston Scientific Corp., Ethicon, Inc. (Johnson & Johnson), Olympus Corp., Richard Wolf GmbH. Endometrial ablation is a highly efficient procedure that helps in removing or destroying the uterine endometrial lining in women who experience heavy menstrual bleeding using specific devices. The growing prevalence of gynecological disorders and growing public awareness about endometrial ablation are key contributing factors expected to propel the product demand. According to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), globally, the prevalence of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) among reproductive-aged women is estimated to be between 3 to 30%

For women suffering from painful, heavy periods, endometrial ablation for endometriosis offers an alternative to chronic medication and hysterectomy treatments. Improved features and a higher demand for these procedures and devices due to the advantages over surgical methods, such as minimally invasive nature, low-risk profile, and easy operation, will support market growth. Many global, as well as local key players, are opting for different strategies. For instance, In March 2020, Mara Water Vapor Ablation System from AEGEA Medical has been approved by the U.S. FDA. Mara is the endometrial ablation procedure that uses natural water vapor to safely cure heavy menstrual bleeding without the need for general anesthesia.

Endometrial ablation procedures have proven effective in about 10% of people to no longer have menstrual periods. Bleeding is effectively decreased in another 70% of cases. However, there are certain side effects associated with the procedure, which include infection, tearing of the uterine wall or bowel, which may hamper the market growth. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare system had to deal with a lot of difficulties, all outpatient procedures were limited or stopped to lower the impact of virus outbreaks. This also had a negative impact on the overall market growth.
