Cold Laser Therapy Market Size, Share and Analysis By Product (Laser Devices, LED Devices, and Others), By Application (Pain Management, Wound Management, Cosmetics, and Others), By End User (Hospitals & Clinics, Homecare Settings, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Cold laser therapy, also known as photobiomodulation therapy, uses low-intensity laser therapy to stimulate healing while using low light levels. Simulation of lasers at a specific wavelength increases cell metabolism and proliferation, promoting tissue healing. Cold laser therapy beams light energy at the skin tissue to reduce pain and inflammation deep within an area of the body.

Cold laser therapy is non-invasive and promotes healing in various conditions, such as arthritis, joint pain, and muscle strain, among others. In recent years, owing to the significant progress in using modulators such as cold laser therapy, the technology has gained widespread acceptance as an adjuvant medical tool for healing wounds. Thus, factors such as the increasing prevalence of chronic pain & orthopedic disorders and rising applications of these devices in therapy are contributing to the market growth during the forecast period.

The prevalence of acute or chronic pain in the neck, knee joints, or hip joints is rising globally. Moreover, according to an article published by National Health Interview Survey, in 2019, almost 50.2 million adults (20.5%) reported pain on most days or every day in the U.S. However, the adoption of lasers in pain therapy, cosmetic surgeries, and wound management as an adjunct to analgesics, with fewer side effects, and high efficacy, is increasing across developed countries. Furthermore, due to high demand, the introduction and launch of cold lasers by various market players will further boost market growth. For instance, according to an article published by Rapid Medtech Communications Ltd. in March 2021, more than 250,000 B-Cure Lasers launched by Good Energies Ltd. had been sold globally, offering pain therapy in home settings. However, the high cost of cold therapy lasers across developing countries can hamper the market's growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Cold Laser Therapy Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had negatively impacted the market for cold laser therapy with the travel restrictions and temporary lockdowns imposed by the government, which had led to a decline in the number of surgical procedures. The market growth was affected due to the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on non-urgent surgeries and fewer patients seeking treatment at hospitals for non-urgent disorders. The continuous prevalence of the pandemic caused deferrals of elective surgical interventions and impacted the growth of the market for cold laser therapy by declining its adoption in surgical therapies. However, the resumption of post-pandemic surgeries had led to more considerable demand for these devices and helped the market to grow steadily.
