Minimally Invasive Surgical Instruments Market Set for Prosperity in Future

The preference for minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) is increasing, owing to the fact that these surgeries are more accurate and are video assisted. These surgeries involve less scarring and smaller incisions, thereby retaining the original structure of organs without deforming their cellular layers. In addition to this, carbon dioxide is utilized in minimally invasive surgeries for enlarging the abdominal cavity, which aids in reducing blood loss during recovery. 


As per a report by P&S Intelligence, in 2016, the global minimally invasive surgical instruments market reached a value of $28.7 billion and is predicted to advance at a 9.3% CAGR during the forecast period (2017–2023). The different products used for minimally invasive surgeries are guiding devices, electrosurgical instruments, handheld instruments, and inflation systems. The largest demand was created for handheld instruments in 2016, which are further predicted to be the most in demand during the forecast period as well, majorly due to the rising adoption of these instruments for different minimally invasive surgeries. Types of handheld devices are visualizing scopes, retractors, forceps & spatulas, sutures, cutter instruments, auxiliary instruments, dilators, and graspers.   

A key driving factor of the minimally invasive surgical instruments market is the increasing incidence of chronic diseases, such as arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and cancer. As per the American Heart Association, 2016 estimates, about 17.3 million deaths occur every year because of cardiovascular diseases and the number is further projected to rise over 23.6 million by 2030. The treatment of cardiovascular diseases and other chronic diseases often need surgical intervention, which is resulting in rising requirement for MIS instruments. 

Among all the regions, North America created the largest demand or minimally invasive instruments in 2016, and the region is further projected to use these instruments the most during the forecast period as well. This is ascribed to the presence of developed healthcare systems, increasing adoption of technologically advanced devices, and rising prevalence of diseases. The fastest growth in demand for MIS instruments is projected to be registered by the Asia-Pacific region in the coming years, owing to the increasing per capita income, rising healthcare expenditure, enhanced healthcare infrastructure, and surging demand for healthcare services due to large patient base.
