Monopolar Electrosurgery Instrument Market Analysis
The Monopolar Electrosurgery Instrument Market is expected to register a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period.
An increasing number of minimally invasive surgical techniques are likely to be the primary driving factor for the monopolar electrosurgery instrument market. Minimally invasive surgical techniques reduce the complications in patients, reduce the period of hospital stay, reduce the rate of readmittance, and lead to cost savings. A national survey conducted in Italy showed the extensive usage of high energy devices in minimally invasive elective procedures at upper and lower GI tracts, liver, pancreas, and adrenal glands. Additionally, other factors contributing to the growth include technological advancements and an increased number of medical surgeries. According to OECD, from 2016 to 2018, laparoscopic-assisted procedures, such as appendectomy, cholecystectomy, hernia repair, and hysterectomy, increased by 9% in the United Kingdom, 27% in Spain, and 11% in Italy.
Lack of expertise in handling these devices may result in serious consequences for patients. Irrespective of specialty, there exists a knowledge gap among surgeons regarding the effective use of energy devices in surgery. Accidental punctures and lacerations due to error injuries and stray energy burns during laparoscopic procedures may discourage patients from opting for such surgeries. Another factor is the increasing number of robotic surgeries, which may limit the use of other traditional approaches due to increased accuracy and technological advancements.
Monopolar Electrosurgery Instrument Market Trends
The Hand Instruments Segment Accounts for a Significant Share in the Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many domains of healthcare due to the delay of elective surgeries and the prioritizing of emergency-only procedures. A global expert response study published in May 2020 estimated that nearly 28 million adult elective procedures were canceled or postponed during the 12 weeks of peak disruption. Furthermore, companies were similarly affected due to imposed lockdowns and delayed distribution channels.
A handpiece is used in conjunction with the generator for the passing of electric current to the surgical site. Due to the increasing technological advancements by companies in the hand instruments segment, the handpiece occupies a majority share compared to generators, return electrodes, and accessories. In January 2021, the FDA issued 510(k) clearance of the Apyx J-Plasma handpiece, which uses cold plasma technology. Such factors may push the competition and demand innovation in this segment.
Additionally, the growing adoption of minimally invasive surgeries, such as laparoscopy, may further contribute toward the growth of this segment. According to Eurostat, in 2018, more than half of the cholecystectomy procedures used laparoscopy. For instance, nearly 93% of procedures performed in the United Kingdom were laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

North America is Expected to Dominate the Monopolar Electrosurgery Instruments Market
The United States has experienced a huge impact due to COVID-19. The country's healthcare sector had to divert its services toward managing COVID-19 patients and vaccine development. Guiding committees and regulatory bodies released guidelines and recommendations to be followed for patients and physicians. Elective procedures had to be postponed, and only emergency procedures were given high importance. Recovery of these backlog procedures may begin slowly, considering the pandemic situation and the resurgence of the disease.
However, North America is expected to dominate the overall market compared to other regions during the forecast period. Through reference from companies' financial statements, North America holds the leading position in sales. For Medtronic, the United States represents nearly 50% of the net sales generated under the minimally invasive therapies group. Multinational companies across the world also prefer to expand to the region due to its favorable economic conditions and scope for innovation.
Furthermore, there is a rising patient population and increasing surgical procedures being performed in the region. Surgical instruments are used in various fields, such as cardiovascular, urology, orthopedic, cosmetic, and gynecology. Around 16.3 million minimally invasive cosmetic surgical procedures were performed in 2019, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). The growth in the number of surgical procedures performed may help North America maintain its position in the overall market.

In January 2021, the FDA granted 510(k) clearance to Apyx Medical for its J-Plasma Precise FLEX Handpiece.
In April 2020, Encision Inc. and Auris Health (part of Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Company) signed a Master Services Agreement (MSA), which will allow both parties to collaborate in the development of equipment that will make Encision's AEM technology compatible with Auris Health's monopolar instruments.
Monopolar Electrosurgery Instrument Industry Segmentation
Monopolar electrosurgery instruments can be used for different modalities, such as cutting and blending, coagulation, and fulguration. The electric current created can pass through the patient using an active electrode at the surgical site, and it exits through a return electrode. A generator, active electrode, and return electrode are components of a monopolar circuit. The monopolar electrosurgery instrument market is segmented by product type (hand instruments, surgical generator, return electrode, and accessories), end user (hospitals/clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and other end users), application (general surgery, gynecological surgery, cardiovascular surgery, orthopedic surgery, cosmetic surgery, and other surgeries), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle-East and Africa, and South America). The report offers the value in USD million for the above-mentioned segments.
