South & Central America Benign Prostatic Hyperplasic Devices Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis - by Product, Procedure Type, and End User

The benign prostatic hyperplasic devices market in South & Central America is expected to grow from US$ 146.38 million in 2022 to US$ 218.16 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2022 to 2028.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prostate enlargement caused by excessive cell growth in the prostate. BPH is a non-cancerous prostate condition that is not usually fatal. Being benign, the condition does not involve metastasis to other body parts. BPH is not associated with the risk of prostate cancer; moreover, unless it manifests symptoms, BPH isn't considered a health issue. Almost all men are likely to have some prostate growth by the time they turn 70. Aging, abdominal obesity, and lack of physical exercise raise the risk of developing BPH. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), BPH is one of the most common disorders in older men and the leading cause of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). After the age of 40, the prevalence of BPH rises, reaching a peak of 60% by the age of 90. According to autopsy studies, the histological prevalence of BPH is 8%, 50%, and 80% in the fourth, sixth, and ninth decades of the life of a man, respectively. According to statistics from the Krimpen and Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging, the prostate grows at a rate of 2.0% to 2.5% per year in older men. Continued prostate enlargement is a risk factor for developing LUTS, and larger prostates are associated with a benign prostatic enlargement (BPE), which triggers the risk of developing clinical BPH and urine incontinence. According to NCBI data, increased adiposity is found to have a positive correlation with prostate volume. In numerous study groups, body weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference have been seen to have a positive correlation with prostate volume. Additionally, epidemiological data shows obesity may raise the necessity of BPH surgery and initiating BPH treatment. The treatment option for BPH includes surgeries such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), open prostatectomy, and minimally invasive treatments such as transurethral needle ablation (TUNA). In minimally invasive treatments such as radiofrequency ablation, laser therapy, and implants, benign prostatic hyperplasic devices are used. Thus, the increase in the prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia and increasing risk factors can bolster the demand for benign prostatic hyperplasic devices.
