Smoke Evacuation Systems Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Smoke Evacuation Systems Market Analysis

The Smoke Evacuation Systems Market size is estimated at USD 145 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 201 million by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.70% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

he COVID-19 pandemic posed several risks to the global healthcare system and significantly impacted the smoke evacuation system market. The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant risks for surgeons performing certain types of surgeries. For instance, an article published by the SAGE Journal in May 2021 reported that certain surgeries like laparoscopy were considered to carry some risks of aerosol-type formation and infections. To conduct these surgical procedures, considerable caution was advised. Since the COVID-19 pandemic caused an increased risk of virus transmission due to contamination, it recommended using smoke evacuation devices (SEDs) filtering systems, thereby driving the growth of the studied market. Initially, the growth of the market was impacted due to the increase in COVID-19 cases, which led to the suspension and postponement of non-essential surgical procedures like laparoscopic and other aesthetic surgeries. However, it is anticipated that the decreasing COVID-19 cases are leading to the resumption of surgical procedures, like laparoscopic surgeries. Also, the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to increasing awareness and regulations of the usage of smoke evacuation systems. As a result, the demand for a smoke evacuation system may increase, and the studied market is expected to witness significant growth in the study period.

The factors that are driving the growth of the studied market are a growing preference for minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) and increased product availability. Due to several advantages associated with MIS procedures over conventional procedures, such as less post-operative pain, fewer major operative and post-operative complications, faster recovery times, less scarring, less stress on the immune system, and smaller incisions, the demand for MIS is significantly increasing.

Also, according to medical guidelines, there is a compulsory requirement for smoke evacuation systems in the operating room. For instance, an article published by the SAGE Journal in November 2021 reported that the evidence indicated that exposure to surgical smoke could result in adverse health effects for staff and patients. The article also reported that surgical smoke produces nanoparticles that may enter the blood and lymphatic circulation and may result in adverse respiratory and cardiovascular effects. Thus, there is increasing demand for smoke evacuation systems in hospitals, especially in operating rooms that are driving the growth of the studied market.

Similarly, an article published by the journal WJES, in March 2022 stated that an online survey conducted among the different regions of the world reported that laparoscopy was used in major elective abdominal surgery and about 69.4% of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedures performed in the US annually. Thus, the high percentage of MIS procedures leads to an increase in surgical smoke that is increasing the demand for smoke evacuating systems, thereby driving the growth of the studied market.

Furthermore, the increasing product availability and the launch of the new technologically advanced product are driving the growth of the studied market. For instance, in August 2021, eVeck launched Plume Evacuation Kit in response to recent legislation in several US states, directed at protecting medical staff and patients from dangerous constituents in surgical smoke. Thus, such product launches for better protection from smoke from their surroundings to the users are driving the growth of the studied market.

Thus, the growing preference for minimal invasive surgeries and increased product availability aid the market is witnessing significant growth over the forecast period. However, risks associated with smoke evacuation systems may slow down the growth over the studied period.
