General Surgical Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

General Surgical Devices Market Analysis

The general surgical devices market is expected to register a CAGR of nearly 6.5% during the forecast period.

The pandemic significantly impacted the studied market since the volume of surgeries significantly declined during the pandemic, owing to the stringent guidelines by the regulatory authorities to avoid non-emergent surgeries. For instance, according to the article published in the NIH in October 2021, there was a 42.8% decline in general surgery admission across the globe. Thus, the general surgical devices market was significantly impacted by COVID-19. However, as the pandemic restrictions were eased, the market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years due to the increase in the adoption of surgical procedures coupled with rapid technological advancements in general surgical devices.

The key factors propelling the market include the rising use of minimally invasive devices, rising chronic diseases, and increasing healthcare expenditure. Additionally, the increasing acceptance of MIS in different parts of the world is propelling the growth of the market. For instance, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare report published in July 2022 reported that 60,393 Cholecystectomy procedures, 42,418 appendicectomy procedures, and 45,186 inguinal hernia repairs were performed in Australia during 2020-2021. Such a high proportion of the laparoscopic procedures performed are propelling the growth of the market.

In addition, traffic accidents are a major cause of injury that leads to surgical procedures across the globe. For instance, according to the Planning and Statistics Authority Qatar, the total number of major traffic accident cases were risen from 717 in January 2022 to 788 in January 2023. Thus, an increase in accident cases is expected to raise the demand for surgical procedures, contributing to the general surgical devices market growth over the forecast period.

Furthermore, the key players' increase in general surgical device launches and strategic partnerships are expected to augment the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in September 2021, Olympus launched POWER SEAL advanced bipolar surgical energy devices to strengthen its surgical portfolio. Similarly, in May 2023, SSI Mantra achieved the significant milestone of 100 successful surgeries within six months of its commercial launch in India. Also, the SSI Mantra was first commercially installed at the Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute, New Delhi, in July 2022.

Thus, owing to the increase in surgery cases, rise in injuries, and strategic activities by the key players, the studied market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. However, stringent regulatory frameworks and improper reimbursement for surgical devices are expected to hinder market growth.
