"Designing Growth Strategies is in our DNA"
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive technique which is used for killing the cancer cells and tissues using high-frequency sound waves or intense heat. High intensity focused ultrasound concentrates high-intensity beams on the tumor cells that are to be destroyed, and it is utilized in the treatment of desmoids tumors, uterine fibroids, prostate cancer, and bone metastasis.
Along with cancer and neurological applications, high intensity focused ultrasound is used in cosmetology. High intensity focused ultrasound offers benefits in cosmetology such as reduction of wrinkles, skin tightening, improved jawline, double chin reduction, and improved skin elasticity. According to the American Cancer Society, out of all cancers, pancreatic cancer is responsible for an estimated 7.0% deaths in the U.S. each year, thus increasing the demand for high intensity focused ultrasound therapy.

Among the segmentation, prostate cancer in the application segment is holding a larger share owing to increasing incidence of cancer rates due to a sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, etc. Uterine fibrosis is also anticipated to show higher growth during the forecast period.
Geographically the global high intensity focused ultrasound market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East and Africa. North America dominated the global high intensity focused ultrasound market in 2017 owing to rising prevalence of cancer cases such as prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and neurological disorders. According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer caused an estimated 40,610 deaths in the U.S. in 2017. Certain advantages offered by high intensity focused beam such as advanced safety, minimal hospital stay, faster recovery and better accuracy are boosting the demand for global high intensity focused ultrasound market in North America. Asia Pacific is also expected to show significant growth during the forecast period owing to government support for R&D and increasing incidence of cancer.
