Market Trends of Global 3D Laparoscopy Imaging Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the 3D Laparoscopy Imaging Market according to our research experts:
Bariatric Surgery is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share by Application Over the Forecast Period
Due to the increasing number of bariatric surgeries performed, the market will continue to grow. The application scope of 3D laparoscopy imaging systems is likely to expand in bariatric surgeries, as surgeons require a stereoscopic vision of anatomy for an accurate dissection prior to surgery.
According to the World Health Organization's report published in June 2021, One in five children and adolescents globally are overweight. Incidences of obesity have been increasing fiercely over the past decades, and it is often described as a global endemic, especially in developed countries where lifestyle-related disorders, such as anxiety, stress, smoking, and drinking, are more prevalent. Furthermore, as per the study titled "Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery in India: Where Do We Stand?" published in the Indian Journal of Surgery in January 2022, a total of 833,687 bariatric procedures were performed around the world in 2020. in addition as per the same source, Over 1.9 billion adults worldwide are overweight, with 650 million being obese. Thus, the high burden of obesity and rising in the number of bariatric surgery performed across globe anticipated to drive the demand of 3D laparoscopy imaging thereby boost the segment growth.
Obesity is also associated with substantial increases in premature mortality, impaired quality of life, and substantial costs of healthcare. The major comorbidities include hypertension, Type-2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia, myocardial infarction, certain cancers, stroke, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis. Most of the comorbidities are the leading causes of death too.
Thus, increase the safety of the bariatric surgical techniques, driving the growth of the segment in the market.
North America Dominates the Market and is expected to continue so Over the Forecast Period
North America dominates the 3D laparoscopic imaging market over the forecast period. This can be attributed to a growing preference for laparoscopic surgery over open surgery, as well as increased awareness of the advantages of minimally invasive procedures. Furthermore, product innovation competition among major players will have an impact on the market.
Furthermore, the market is being propelled forward by a growing demand for minimally invasive 3D laparoscopic equipment. Because of the less trauma they cause, minimally invasive surgical methods are becoming more popular. For example, in December 2020, Olympus reported that their VISERA ELITE II surgical imaging platform for minimally invasive surgery will now include 3D and infrared capabilities. The addition of a platform like this could aid hospitals and operation centers in increasing efficiency and lowering costs. Gynecology, general surgery, orthopedic surgery, endourology, and ENT are just a few of the applications for the product. Furthermore, health insurance companies in some countries pay for minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries. According to the Medicare Benefits Schedule march 2022, up to 75% of laparoscopic procedures are now covered by Medicare (MBS). As a result of these considerations, patients' preferences for minimally invasive surgeries have increased.
Moreover, increasing prevalence of obesity in the region anticipated to boost the market. In September 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) May 2022, the prevalence of obesity in the United States increased from 30.5 to 41.9%. The prevalence of severe obesity rose from 4.7 percent to 9.2%. Moreover, As per United States National Health Statistics Reports published in June 2021, among adults aged 20 and over, the prevalence of obesity was 41.9%, severe obesity was 9.2%, and diabetes was 14.8%. The increase in the prevalence of obesity among the population is expected to drive the bariatric surgery market in the United States.Thus, increasing prevalence of the obesity and rising in spending of its treatment anticipated to boost the market growth.
Launch of technological advanced productby the key market players expected to grow the market over the forecast period. In December 2020, Olympus Corporation released an upgraded version of its rigid 3D ENDOEYE video laparoscope, which allows surgeons greater control than conventional 3D laparoscopes. The upgrade provides true horizon orientation for surgeons.
Hence, the rising demand for 3D laparoscopic imaging for bariatric and urologic surgeries is expected to propel the market growth in the region.
