United Kingdom General Surgical Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

United Kingdom General Surgical Devices Market Analysis

The United Kingdom General Surgical Devices Market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period.

The UK general surgical devices market is anticipated to experience significant growth during the forecast period owing to the rising demand for minimally invasive devices in surgical procedures and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and accidents leading to surgical interventions.

For instance, data published by the UK’s Department of Transport as of June 2023 showed that 133.4 thousand road accident casualties of all severities were reported in Great Britain. Since serious injuries require surgeries, the demand for general surgical devices is expected to increase, boosting market growth. Thus, with increased injuries and accidents, the demand for surgical devices is expected to rise, which should positively impact the market studied over the forecast period.

Furthermore, the greater the number of surgical procedures, the more surgical devices are expected to be needed, which will likely drive market growth in the country. For instance, according to data published by the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities in September 2023, over 409 thousand admissions were reported in hospitals for cataract surgery in England in 2022. These surgeries utilized various general surgical equipment, boosting the market's growth over the study period.

Moreover, the establishment of new surgical facilities in the United Kingdom is expected to increase the usage of general surgical devices, which is likely to boost market growth. For instance, in October 2023, CMR Surgical, a company in the surgical robotics business, opened its new surgical robotics manufacturing facility in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom. Hence, the latest surgical robotics facilities use general surgical devices, which are expected to boost market growth over the forecast period.

Therefore, the high number of accidents and surgical procedures raises the demand for general surgical devices and is likely to boost the market's growth in the country. However, stringent government regulations are expected to constrain the UK general surgical devices market during the forecast period.
