The trocars market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for trocars has experienced rapid expansion in the past few years. Projected growth is from $0.86 billion in 2024 to $0.96 billion in 2025, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%.
Factors contributing to the historical growth include the adoption of minimally invasive procedures, an increase in the number of surgeries, attention to safety and infection control, an aging population, and compliance with regulations.
The trocars market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for the trocars market, which is predicted to see rapid expansion in the coming years. The estimated value of the market by 2029 is $1.46 billion, calculated at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.1%.
Factors such as single-incision surgery, robot-assisted surgery, disposable trocars, a focus on patient-centric care, and healthcare quality metrics are driving growth in the forecast period. The period is also characterized by key trends, including robotic-assisted surgery, improved visualization techniques, the reduction in size of trocars, the introduction of new materials, and the advent of specialized trocars.
The growth of the trocars market in the coming years is predicted to be influenced by a rise in aged-related diseases due to the increasing senior population. It is expected that the elderly population worldwide will continue to grow through the forecast period. Laparoscopic methods are gradually replacing numerous usual surgical techniques for older patients. Trocars, employed in laparoscopic procedures, are inserted into the abdomen to minimize invasion. For example, the Population Reference Bureau, a US not-for-profit organization centered on international population trend data, forecasted in January 2024 that the number of Americans aged 65 and older would increase from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050, signifying a rise of 47%. This increase in the aging population is therefore causing the trocars market to grow.

Advancements in technology continue to have a transformative impact on the trocars market, with companies striving to refine trocar technology. This reduces mistakes and enhances the process. Dutch Ophthalmic Research Center (DORC), a firm in the Netherlands known for manufacturing automated interferometers and inspection equipment, introduced the EVA NEXUS in March 2022. The launch of EVA NEXUS led to considerable improvements in surgical efficacy and proficiency. This includes SmartIOP, which blends with the currently used EquiPhaco technology to offer improved control during cataract surgery. A revolutionary trocar cannula system, named EVA AVETA, is part of these enhancements. It comprises a chamfered cannula for easy insertion, a laser-etched shaft for scleral retention, a push-fit connection, and a Hi-Flow infusion connection.
