Global Surgical Scissors Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Surgical Scissors Market Analysis

The surgical scissors market is expected to witness a CAGR of around 8.5% over the forecast period, 2022-2027.

The COVID-19 epidemic has significantly impacted the market for surgical scissors. Shutdowns in several COVID-19-affected nations and an increase in the number of surgical scissor manufacturing workers becoming ill during the pandemic resulted in a shortage of supplies. Moreover, the number of surgical procedures declined during COVID-19, hampering the market growth. For instance, in June 2020, it was observed that post-lockdown daily outpatient visits were reduced to four patients/day in India, and around 77% of the professionals did not perform even a single surgical procedure. Furthermore, only urgent surgeries were allowed during the pandemic, and most cardiac procedures were canceled or postponed due to the diversion of resources toward the affected patients. Additionally, according to the British Journal of Surgery report, in May 2020, around 48,728 surgical procedures per week were canceled in India, which estimates around 585,000 surgical procedures for 12 weeks. As a result, COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the surgical scissors industry.

The presence of a large aging population; the growing incidence of chronic diseases and lifestyle disorders; and technological advancement in surgical scissors are all significant factors contributing to the market's growth. For instance, according to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) published Global Survey Results 2020 report, a total of 10,129,528 cosmetic surgical procedures were performed in 2020, and the top five surgical procedures included breast augmentation (1,624,281), liposuction (1,525,197), eyelid surgery (1,225,540), abdominoplasty (765,248), and rhinoplasty (852,554). In addition, there is a consistent rise in the geriatric population, which helps to boost the market's growth. For instance, according to the World Health Organization, by 2030, 1 out of every six people on the planet will be 60 years old or older. The number of people aged 60 and up is expected to rise from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion by 2050. By 2050, the global population of people aged 60 and above will get double to reach 2.1 billion. Between 2020 and 2050, the number of people aged 80 and above is expected to triple, reaching 426 million.

Additionally, technological advancements such as innovative scissors with diverse functions and durable materials, an increase in the number of surgical procedures, and increasing use of surgical scissors further drive the growth of the market studied. For instance, in August 2021, Encision Inc. introduced its AEM 2X enTouch Scissors ("2X Scissors"). The 2X Scissors brings new levels of performance and economy to the surgical scissors market by combining the best-in-class performance of Encision enTouch Disposable Scissors with the value and economy of a multi-use device.

Thus, all the aforementioned factors are expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. However, the adoption of minimally invasive surgery technology is the major restraining factor for the market studied.
