Global Surgical Robotics Market Industry Overview

The global surgical robotics market was valued at $8,705.3 million in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $18,410.9 million by 2032, witnessing a CAGR of 7.78% during the forecast period 2022-2032. The growth in the global surgical robotics market is expected to be driven by the rising preference for minimally invasive surgical procedures globally and increasing awareness among practitioners for simulation, training, and continuous medical education.

Market Lifecycle Stage

The surgical robotics market is in the developing phase. The increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries, increasing demand for robotic-assisted surgeries, and increasing synergetic activities within the surgical robotics industry are some of the major opportunities in the global surgical robotics market. Furthermore, some of the key trends going on in the market are the technological advancements in the field of medical surgery, such as the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI), the introduction of telerobotics, and the increasing application of microsurgery.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted practically all sectors and social functions worldwide, including the global surgical robotics market. The pandemic led to a shortage of hospital supplies and staff and the cancellation of admission and surgeries around the globe. In the beginning, the hospitals were overwhelmed with patients, which caused a shortage of beds, ventilators, and other hospital supplies.

During the pandemic, hospitals reduced elective surgeries to ensure patient safety and to support COVID-19 patients on a larger scale. Elective surgeries were postponed or canceled as a safety measure to protect patients from hospital-transmitted infection as well as associated postoperative pulmonary complications.
