The surgical robots market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of surgical robots has seen a swift expansion in the last couple of years. The market, which stood at $7.87 billion in 2024, is projected to climb to $9.25 billion by 2025, showcasing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.6%.
Factors such as the growing instances of chronic conditions, an escalating older population, the demand for highly accurate and precise medical procedures, enhanced healthcare expenditures, and the rise in robotic-assisted operations have driven the considerable growth over the historic period.
The surgical robots market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of surgical robots is projected to experience a rapid expansion in the coming years, with it anticipated to swell to $18.05 billion in 2029, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.2%.
This upward trend during the forecast period is primarily due to factors such as the broadening of applicability for robotic surgery, the rising acceptance in developing markets, the growing need for remote surgery options, an increasing emphasis on customization and personalization, and advancements in regulatory approvals and standards. Key market trends predicted over the forecast period incorporate the incorporation of AI for enhanced surgical accuracy, the growth of diminished surgical robots, the emergence of telesurgery and remote surgical capabilities, the escalating deployment of robotics in non-invasive surgeries, and the use of haptic feedback technology.
The surgical robot market is anticipated to be invigorated from the rising geriatric population and escalating surgical cases. The development and application of surgical robots are significantly influenced by the growing older and surgical patient groups. Surgeries using robots, which are minimally invasive, aid in reducing patient trauma, curbing the rate of complications, and curtail the recovery timeline. These advantages are crucial in decreasing mortality and illness rates among the elderly. For example, as per the 2024 forecasts by World Health Organization (WHO), Switzerland's Intergovernmental organization, by 2030, every 6th person worldwide is projected to be 60 years or older. The populace aged 60 or more is likely to rise from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion by 2030. This figure is predicted to reach approximately 2.1 billion by 2050. Projections from the American Joint Replacement Registry's 2022 Annual Report, published in November 2022, showed that hip and knee arthroplasty cases in the US approximated to 2.8 million in 2022, marking a 14% increase from 2021. Hence, the amplified geriatric and surgical patient populace serve as propulsion for the surgical robot market.
