What Is The Driver Of The Surgical Equipment Market?

The growing demand for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) will increase the demand for advanced surgical equipment. A minimally invasive surgery (MIS) refers to any surgical procedure that requires minimal incisions as opposed to traditional or open surgery used for the same purpose. This rise in demand is due to patient preference for faster recovery, reduced hospital stays, and lower post-operative complications, as well as surgeons’ focus on precision and efficiency. The growing demand for minimally invasive surgery supports the surgical equipment market by increasing adoption of advanced surgical tools, robotic-assisted platforms, endoscopes, and energy devices. For instance, in June 2024, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, a US-based non-profit organization, minimally invasive procedures increased by 7% in 2023, outpacing the growth rate of surgical procedures by 2%. Hand surgeries such as carpal tunnel, arthritis, and trigger finger totaled 207,887 procedures, a 2% rise from 2022. Therefore, the growing demand for minimally invasive surgery is driving the growth of the surgical equipment industry.
