Surgical Robots Industry Overview

The global surgical robots market size was estimated at USD 3.92 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5% from 2024 to 2030.

Shortage of physicians and surgeons across the globe and increasing adoption of automated instruments used for surgery are major factors driving market growth. Furthermore, growing prevalence of bone degenerative diseases and rising number of hip & knee replacement surgeries due to increasing cases of arthritis & osteoporosis are anticipated to drive growth. For instance, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality report, over 4,50,000 hip replacement surgeries are performed annually in the U.S.

An increasing number of knee and hip replacement surgeries is one of the key factors anticipated to drive the adoption of surgical robots in healthcare industry. Some major disorders that affect joints are various types of arthritis, bone degenerative diseases, and osteoporosis. Rising prevalence of these conditions has led to an increase in the number of patients requiring knee and hip replacement surgeries.

As per the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) statistics, total knee replacement rate for osteoarthritis increased by about 38% from 2005-2006 to 2017-2018. According to the International Congress for Joint Reconstruction in March 2018, total number of primary hip replacement and knee replacement procedures is projected to reach 635,000 (171.0% increase) & 1.28 million (189.0% increase), respectively, by 2030 and 1.23 million (330.0% growth) & 2.60 million (382.0% growth) by 2060.

According to an article published by The Regents of the University of California in March 2017, total hip replacements are expected to increase by almost 200%, and total knee replacements performed in the U.S. are expected to increase by more than 600% by 2030 compared to 2005. This is driving the adoption of surgical robots, thereby aiding market growth. Furthermore, the postoperative functional outcome for patients is another significant growth driver. Robotic surgery supports surgeons in performing complicated procedures with greater flexibility, precision, and control over conventional surgeries.
