1.1.2 Postulations
This section covers assumptions and postulations considered during the research of the market.
These assumptions considered in order to estimate the complete forecast of the

Global

Radiofrequency Ablation Devices Market have been detailed below:

This report provides estimates of the market assuming no major economic rise or decline
will occur due to unforeseen circumstances during the forecast period.

SA-BRC interviews with industry experts, key players and doctors concluded that RF
catheters are also known by other terminologies such as electrodes or probes. This report
assumes all three terminologies to be the same component of RF ablation equipment.

This report includes the market for RF electrosurgical devices that are used for all types of
procedures such as coagulation, electrocautery, fulguration, arthroscopy (RF generated
plasma) and other invasive surgical procedures.

The analysis includes both disposable and reusable catheters and probes together in one
market segment due to disparity observed during surveys on the definition of reusable and
disposable. Varying number of responses suggested that electrodes and catheters that are
meant for single use are in fact used multiple times. If a device is used more than once, is it
in fact a reusable device? How many times does a catheter or a probe be needed to be
reused in order to be tagged as reusable? Hence SA-BRC analysis includes all types of
catheters and probes together to eliminate this confusion.

Market Inferences

Key Highlights and Insights to the global radiofrequency ablation devices market:

The global radiofrequency ablation devices market was valued at US$ 3,137.9 million in
2014 and expected to grow to US$ 5,469.7 million by 2019 at a CAGR of 11.5% from 2015
to 2019.

Rising cases of tumors and cardiac arrhythmia ensured that the demand for radiofrequency
ablation devices was primarily led by these two applications. The market for RF devices in
tumor management accounted for a share of xx% followed by cardiac rhythm management
with a share of xx% in 2014.

A growing incidence of menorrhagia and increasing demand from menopausal women to

undergo endometrial ablation is expected to result in a high growth of RF ablation in
gynecology. The demand for RF ablation devices in gynecology is expected to grow the
quickest at a CAGR of xx% from 2015 to 2019.

North America continued to lead the demand for RF ablation devices despite having a
negligible demand for RF ablation in hypertension treatment. In 2014, North America
accounted for a market share of xx% followed by Europe with a share of xx%.

Asia-Pacific and Middle-East are expected to grow the quickest during the forecast period
2015 to 2019 with a CAGR of xx% and xx% respectively.

Medtronic Inc (Medtronic + Covidien Plc), Johnson & Johnson (Biosense Webster + DePuy
Mitek), St. Jude Medical, Stryker, Boston Scientific and Smith & Nephew were the leading
players in the radiofrequency ablation devices market with shares of xx%, xx%, xx%, xx%,
xx% and xx% respectively.
