Sclerotherapy Market Growth & Trends
The global sclerotherapy market size is expected to reach USD 1.3 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 5.6%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Sclerotherapy is a non-invasive procedure that is widely used as a primary treatment for reticular veins, leg telangiectasias, and varicose veins. The procedure comprises injecting a solution (sclerosing agents or sclerosants) straight into the affected veins, which causes them to shrink and eventually disappear and assist in treating related symptoms such as aching, burning, swelling, and cramping. Factors like the better exposure to the site of application, utilization of less-invasive technologies, advances in dermatology, and increasing geriatric population with an incidence of varicose veins are fuelling the market growth.
Sclerosing agents used for the treatment of varicose veins are segmented into detergents, hyperosmolar/ osmotic agents, and chemical irritants. Agents like Sodium tetradecyl sulfate (Sotradecol) and Polidocanol (Asclera), Sodium morrhuate (Scleromate), Ethanolamine Oleate (Ethamoline) are all FDA approved sclerosants used to treat and reduce the effect of vein damage. According to the Society of Vascular surgery, more than 33.0% of women and about 17.0% of men consult a doctor for telangiectasias and varicose veins in industrialized countries, affecting up to 35.0% of people in the U.S. alone.
This condition, if left untreated can cause severe health problems such as chronic pain, deep vein clots, skin ulcers, and coronary ailments. According to NCBI, 20.0% of all adults will get varicose veins at some point in their lives and the prevalence is higher among the aging population and women. These factors are expected to boost the market growth. However, the side effects of this procedure such as hyperpigmentation and matting, scarring, and allergic reactions in some patients might hinder the market growth.
