The Global Disposable Ureteroscope Market is anticipated to witness impressive growth during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the increasing adoption of a sedentary lifestyle along with consuming unhealthy food habits, less consumption of water, dietary changes, and lack of exercise, among others which have led to an increase in the prevalence of chronic kidney diseases like kidney cancer, urethral stricture, and kidney stones. According to the global cancer observatory, around 431,288 new kidney cancer cases were reported worldwide, along with 179,368 new deaths reported due to kidney cancer in 2020. Similarly, the growing demand for painless treatment with low-cost treatment will enhance the demand for the ureteroscope market over the years.

Additionally, a growing percentage of obese people benefits revenue growth since they are more likely to suffer kidney stones which will further boost the market growth.
