Industry Dynamics

Growth Drivers

Technological advancements, advantages of surgical robots in clinical procedures, increasing investment for 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.

Increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries: Minimally invasive surgeries offer several advantages over traditional open surgeries, including smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times. Surgical robots enable surgeons to perform complex procedures with enhanced precision and dexterity through smaller incisions, making them ideal for minimally invasive surgeries. The growing preference for these procedures among patients and surgeons has fueled the demand for surgical robots.

Advancements in robotic technology: Significant advancements in robotics and related technologies have played a crucial role in the growth of the surgical robots market. These advancements include improvements in robotic arm design, instrument miniaturization, haptic feedback systems, image guidance, and real-time imaging. Such advancements have enhanced the capabilities of surgical robots, making them more efficient, accurate, and user-friendly. The continuous innovation and development of robotic technology have expanded the applications of surgical robots, driving market growth.

Improved surgical outcomes: Surgical robots have demonstrated the potential to improve surgical outcomes by providing surgeons with greater precision, control, and access to anatomical structures. The high-definition 3D visualization systems of surgical robots enable surgeons to view the surgical site in detail, enhancing their ability to perform complex procedures. The enhanced precision and stability offered by surgical robots reduce the risk of errors and complications during surgery, leading to improved patient outcomes. The desire to achieve better surgical results and patient satisfaction has contributed to the adoption of surgical robots.

Surgeon training and education: As surgical robots require specialized training and expertise to operate, training programs and educational initiatives have been developed to familiarize surgeons with robotic-assisted procedures. The emphasis on training and education has helped increase the number of surgeons skilled in using surgical robots, leading to broader adoption and market growth.

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 its 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 basic healthcare to all its citizens and hence it is generally not feasible to install surgical robots, especially in their public sector hospitals. The Renaissance Surgical System by Mazor Robotics 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 industry leaders in the region. The North American market will further observe significant growth during the forecast period as more and more hospitals especially the hospital chains working in different states of the U.S. are opting for 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 of the global surgical robots market than Europe. The key factor leading to the significant growth in the Asia-Pacific, is the developing infrastructure, investment in the healthcare sector, emergence of a 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 their 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.
