The arthroscopy devices and equipment market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been significant growth in the market size of arthroscopy devices and equipment. The market, which was valued at $5.69 billion in 2024, is projected to reach $6.07 billion in 2025, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%.
Factors such as the prevalence of orthopedic conditions, the popularity of minimally invasive surgery, the aging population, and advances in sports medicine have contributed to the growth observed in the historic period.
The arthroscopy devices and equipment market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• It is anticipated that the market for arthroscopy devices and equipment will experience significant expansion in the coming years. The market is projected to reach $8.4 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%.
The growth during the forecast period is expected to be driven by factors such as the growth of emerging markets, regulatory support and reimbursement, the rise of telehealth and remote consultations, and a focus on value-based healthcare. Key trends projected for this period include the introduction and increase of augmented reality (ar) and virtual reality (vr), 3D imaging and printing, artificial intelligence (ai), and sustainable practices.
As the elderly population grows, it is anticipated that this will propel the arthroscopy devices and equipment market. Elderly individuals are susceptible to various orthopedic disorders such as arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. As the population ages, the prevalence of conditions like osteoarthritis and other joint diseases often requires arthroscopic interventions for both diagnosis and treatment. For example, World Health Organization data from October 2022 indicates that 1 in 6 people worldwide will be aged 60 or above by 2030, and this number is expected to double (reaching 2.1 billion) by 2050. Thus, the expanding elderly population is expected to push the market forward within the forecast period.

Leading firms in the arthroscopy devices and equipment market are concentrating on creating cutting-edge devices like the Single-Use, 4K, Battery Operated Cordless Arthroscope. This effort aims to bolster surgical precision, augment patient results, lessen the probability of infections, and offer more flexibility and practicality during minimal invasive procedures. The Single-Use, 4K, Battery Operated Cordless Arthroscope, a healthcare device utilized in non-complex joint surgeries, is created to give surgeons high-definition, live imagery. For instance, in November 2022, Integrated Endoscopy, a medical device manufacturer based in the US, introduced their Gen II NUVIS Single-Use, 4K, Battery Operated Cordless Arthroscope. This significant leap in arthroscopic surgical technology aims to overcome the drawbacks of conventional reusable arthroscopes by providing superior image quality and functional efficiency.
