Surgical Navigation Systems Market Growth & Trends
The global surgical navigation systems market size is expected to reach USD 23.3 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 14.2% from 2022 to 2030. The growing geriatric population along with the rising prevalence of brain cancer, orthopedic degenerative, and ENT among other target disorders and diseases is expected to propel the demand for surgical navigation systems (SNSs). Aging is considered the greatest risk factor for the development of degenerative disorders of joints; such as osteoporosis. The rising geriatric population is expected to serve as a high-impact rendering driver for the market.

Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are the most common disorders in the population aged over 65 years. The growing prevalence of these disorders possesses an increasing economic burden on many countries. As per International Osteoporosis Foundation, the total number of hip fractures is expected to reach 5,395 million by 2050. Facing the outbreak of COVID-19, elective procedures have significantly impacted the surgical navigation system market. As restrictions resulted in delays to a number of procedures. Currently, most nations have elevated restrictions on elective surgery. As a result, hospital spearheads across the world have been rushing to implement ramp-up strategies.

In addition to tackling the increasing patient backlog, the inspiration to restart elective surgery comprises mitigating revenue shock from the reduced surgical volume, a considerable contributor to the margin of hospitals. Demand for better patient outcomes will drive the acceptance of innovative technologies in navigation-assisted surgeries and provisions market growth. For instance, in March 2021, 7D Surgical has launched the FLASH navigation system in Switzerland and Germany. Besides, the demand for minimally invasive procedures is increasing across the world.

Surgical navigation systems are instrumental in providing better accuracy and precision in diagnosis and determining the correct implementation of plans during surgery, thereby aiding in minimally invasive procedures with improved patient outcomes. They offer visual imaging at every stage of the surgery thereby allowing modification of the plan during the surgical procedure according to intraoperative findings. It is also cost-effective in joint replacement procedures as very few patients require revision after a one-time procedure. These associated advantages are expected to boost the product demand over the forecast period.
