Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
Technological advancements, advantages of surgical robots in clinical procedures, increasing investment for the research and development, mounting occurrence of neurological and orthopedic disorders and increasing geriatric population are some of the key factors fuelling the growth of the surgical robots market, globally. There are several benefits of robotic surgery, which is leading to an increase in adoption by hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers. Robotic surgery offers several benefits to the surgeon such as an enhanced visual field, superior dexterity, and reach to inaccessible or hard-to-reach places during the surgery.
Similarly patients benefit from better clinical outcomes, shorter hospital stays, precision in surgery, lesser pain, early discharge and shorter recovery time. The robotic surgery also causes smaller incisions and therefore reduces the risk of getting infection post-surgery. Compared to conventional surgery robotic surgery leaves small incision and allows surgeons to operate in very tight spaces with precision using robotic arms.
Apart from the aforementioned factors the increasing prevalence of neurological disorders and increasing geriatric population is leading to the growth in the surgical robot market across the globe. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally in 2010 approximately 524 million people were aged 65 years and older and is expected to reach 1.5 billion in 2050.
Challenges
The primary factor hindering the growth of the surgical robot market is their high cost. The high cost of these systems makes them unaffordable in smaller hospitals with limited budgets. Moreover, this is the primary reason hindering the market penetration in developing countries as these countries struggle to provide and basic healthcare to all its citizen and hence it is generally not feasible to install surgical robots especially in their public sector hospitals. The Renaissance Surgical System by Mazor Robotics is itself costs around USD 850,000 per unit; thus only the healthcare providers backed by private investors or large public hospitals are able to afford these systems.
Geographic Overview
North America remains the largest market for surgical robots across the globe. This is primarily due to the early adoption, technological advancements, developed healthcare infrastructure, high healthcare expenditure, and presence of the industry leaders in the region. The North American market will further observe significant growth during the forecast period as the more and more hospitals especially the hospital chains working in different states of the U.S. are opting for the automation in surgery using surgical robots.
Asia-Pacific lags behind North America and Europe in terms of the number of surgical robots installed in the region; however, by the end of the forecast period, the region will account for higher share in the global surgical robots market than Europe. The key factor leading to the significant growth in the Asia-Pacific, are the developing infrastructure, investment in healthcare sector, immergence in large number of private healthcare providers, and penetration by the number of the large global healthcare providers in the region.
Competitive Insight
Different companies are investing in their research and development for the technological advancements of its systems which offers them a competitive edge over the competitors. Mazor Robotics added Mazor X to its surgical robotics portfolio in 2016, apart from its existing Renaissance Surgical System. Mazor X witnessed key traction in the market in comparison to Renaissance as well as its competitor Da Vinci Surgical System. Also, the medical device industry giant is acquiring innovator companies to enter into the surgical robots market.
