Detailed Segmentation:

Market Dynamics

An increasing number of knee and hip replacement surgeries is one of the key factors anticipated to drive the adoption of surgical robots in healthcare industry. Some major disorders that affect joints are various types of arthritis, bone degenerative diseases, and osteoporosis. Rising prevalence of these conditions has led to an increase in the number of patients requiring knee and hip replacement surgeries.

End-use Insights

Inpatient facilities segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 53.21% in 2023. Inpatient facilities, such as hospitals, usually have the financial resources and high patient volume to justify the investment in costly surgical robotic systems. In addition, they possess the infrastructure and skilled personnel necessary to operate and maintain these advanced technologies. Trust and credibility associated with hospitals also significantly attract patients and surgeons toward robotic-assisted surgeries, consolidating the dominance of inpatient facilities in the market.

Regional Insights

North America held the largest share of 49.9% in 2023, mainly due to improvements in surgeries and healthcare facilities for various disorders. Higher favorable outcomes as compared to open surgeries and shorter periods of hospitalization & recovery for children are boosting the demand for robotic-assisted surgeries, which is expected to boost market growth. Furthermore, improvements in the miniaturization of instruments may allow optimal working conditions in limited space, which is expected to fuel market growth.

Application Insights

Other applications segment, which includes surgical robots used in oncology, laparoscopy, and other general surgical procedures, accounted for the largest revenue share of 44.76% in 2023. Growing usage of robots for cancer treatment procedures and increasing demand for minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries are key factors contributing to the segment’s high share.
