What Is The Driver Of The Handheld Surgical Devices And Equipment Market?

The rising prevalence of chronic disorders is expected to propel the growth of the handheld surgical devices market going forward. Chronic diseases, also known as non-communicable diseases (NCDs), refer to long-term medical conditions that typically progress slowly and persist over an extended period. Due to chronic diseases, there is a more widespread demand for handheld surgical devices for minimally invasive procedures whichenable healthcare professionals to perform surgeries with greater accuracy and less invasiveness, contributing to better patient outcomes. For instance, in July 2023, according to the Health Foundation, a United Kingdom-based independent health policy research and analysis organization, the number of people living with major illness in England is projected to increase by 37 percent by 2040, which is nine times the growth rate of the working age population aged 20 to 69 years at 4 percent. Therefore, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is driving the growth of the handheld surgical devices market.
