Laparoscopy Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Laparoscopy Devices Market Analysis

The laparoscopy devices market is expected to witness a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals worldwide reduced elective and non-urgent cases to maintain social distancing and avoid transmission of the virus. However, urgent gynecological and cancer procedures were being performed, and it's critical that all theater staff be safeguarded, and the risk of SARS-CoV-2 viral transmission is minimized when operating on asymptomatic or diagnosed COVID-19 patients. For instance, the Saudi Arabia National Cancer Institute (SANCI) issued a guideline for caregivers and cancer facilities in March 2020 to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on cancer patients. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted urological care and urologist recruitment in this region. The urology practice has been changed due to the exceptional impact on the healthcare system during the pandemic. According to a 2020 study published in the Dove Press, an increase in delayed urological services during the pandemic resulted in a wait of 8 weeks in outpatient clinics. However, as COVID cases started declining, the number of surgeries performed began returning to the pre-COVID levels.

Certain factors driving the market growth include increasing technological advancements, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, and the growing demand for minimally-invasive surgery. Minimally-invasive surgeries (MIS) cause less post-operative pain, and hence, patients receive smaller dosages of pain killers. There are minimal cuts or stitches involved, the hospital stay is relatively shorter, and patients need not visit the hospital frequently.

Traditional open surgeries involve long incisions made through the muscles, and these muscles take a considerable amount of time to heal, whereas MIS procedures involve smaller incisions, leading to a quicker recovery. These surgeries have been gaining wider acceptance among the geriatric population due to the relatively shorter recovery time. Few organizations, such as the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) and the International Society of Gynecologic Endoscopy (ISGE), have been collaborating with healthcare agencies in South Africa to create awareness about the benefits of MIS and improve the adoption rate.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is driving up the demand for better treatment measures. As a result, the patient pool for chronic diseases is expected to drive the number of surgeries performed, which will aid in the growth of disposable laparoscopy devices. For instance, according to data published by World Health Organization, 2021, cardiovascular diseases account for 17.9 million deaths globally, followed by cancers (9.3 million), respiratory diseases (4.1 million), and diabetes (1.5 million).

Thus, due to the benefits associated with minimally-invasive surgeries, the adoption rate has been increasing, which may further increase the market's overall growth over the forecast period.

Laparoscopy Devices Industry Segmentation

As per the scope of the report, laparoscopy is referred to as a type of surgery in which small incisions are made in the body, such as the abdominal wall through which a laparoscope, as well as other instruments, can be placed to allow structures within the internal body cavity to be seen. Various probes or other instruments can also be pushed through these small incisions in the skin, thus, enabling several activities, including both diagnosis and treatment.

The laparoscopy devices market is segmented by product (energy devices, laparoscopes, insufflation devices, handheld instruments, suction/irrigation devices, and other products), by application (bariatric surgery, gynecological surgery, colorectal surgery, and other applications), by end user (ambulatory centers, hospitals and clinics, and other end users), and by geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle-East and Africa, and South America). The report also covers the estimated market sizes and trends for 17 different countries across major regions globally. The report offers the value (in USD million) for the above segments.
