Powered Surgical Instruments Market

Global Powered Surgical Instruments Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global powered surgical instruments market size was valued at USD 12.90 billion in 2024 and is predicted to be worth USD 17.90 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.77% between 2024 to 2029.

A powered surgical instrument is a device designed especially for a specific procedure during surgery. Conventional surgery involves a large incision and causes a lot of trauma to soft tissues, which are present in the areas of injury. Minimally invasive procedures achieve the same goal and decrease the trauma through small incisions. Surgeries, including orthopedic procedures, ENT surgeries, complex spine surgeries, and neuro surgeries, can be treated using minimally invasive techniques. In addition, conditions related to joint replacement, arthroscopic repairs of sports injuries, and microscopic treatment of musculoskeletal conditions are complex and use minimally invasive techniques. This would subsequently push vendors to introduce more variants of powered surgical instruments used in minimally invasive procedures.

MARKET DRIVERS

Factors such as the demand for minimally invasive surgery, the number of global surgical operations, and a growing global population are projected to drive the powered surgical instruments market.

The proliferation of lifestyle conditions expanded healthcare regionally, and increased exposure to healthcare are all significant growth contributors. The government initiatives to raise public consciousness about healthcare by promoting medical tourism, which positively impacts market growth. Electrically driven devices, such as electrosurgical systems, make surgical procedures more available in ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) or hospitals without needing a dedicated hospital setting. In Asia-Pacific, this sector is rapidly becoming a growth hub. The booming medical tourism industry, rising unmet healthcare needs, and the prevalence of chronic diseases that necessitate surgical procedures drive up growth in this region.

During the forecast period, the global powered surgical instruments market is expected to be propelled by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and bone-related disorders and an increase in surgical procedures. Powered surgical instruments are complicated devices that aid in the reliability and accuracy of vital surgical procedures. Advancements in technologies and innovations in robotic surgeries have rapidly influenced market growth. Powered instruments come in various shapes and sizes, allowing surgeons and medical personnel to choose the best instrument for surgical procedures. In addition, the increased use of traditional surgeries has resulted in a huge market for new surgical instruments and techniques. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS

However, the market is constrained by factors like inadequate quality assurance, lack of adequate sterilization processes, and rising pressure on healthcare providers to reduce costs. Rising cost-cutting pressure on healthcare providers, insufficient sterilization procedures, and inadequate quality assurance could impede the market over the forecast period. Furthermore, unfavorable reimbursement programs, inadequately skilled professionals, inefficient instruments and resources, and lack of awareness may lead to the market downfall.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Powered Surgical Instruments Market

SARS-COV-2 is a contagious disease which is caused by the recent novel coronavirus. The disease has affected the market in many ways, such as production and distribution. The manufacturing and life sciences industries were negatively impacted during the first quarter of 2020. Due to the surge in COVID-19 worldwide, a nationwide lockdown has been implemented, and a ban on flights has been imposed. COVID-19 negatively impacted the powered surgical instrument market during the first quarter. The manufacturing of powered surgical devices was also partially stopped and postponed due to stringent guidelines. The powered surgical market has its supply globally, but the supply chain has been disrupted due to the ban on transportation. However, powered surgical instruments recorded significant growth over the forecast period owing to the rising demand for powered surgical instruments. Powered surgical instruments have accelerated during the pandemic due to the proliferation of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, bone-related disorders, and diabetes. However, the market is anticipated to record better growth during the forecast period.
