The report “Electrosurgery Market by Product - Generator, Electrosurgical Instruments (Vessel Sealing, Bipolar Forceps, Electrode, Suction Coagulator), Accessories, Surgery (General, Gynecology, Orthopedic, Cardiovascular, Cosmetic) - Global Forecasts to 2019” analyzes and studies the major market drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the world (RoW).

This report studies the global electrosurgery market over the forecast period of 2014 to 2019. The market is expected to reach ~$4 billion by 2019, at CAGR of 5.9% from 2014 to 2019.

Based on the type of product, the global electrosurgery market is classified into three major segments, namely, electrosurgical generators, electrosurgical instruments and accessories, and argon and smoke management systems. The electrosurgical instruments and accessories segment is further classified into electrosurgical instruments and electrosurgical accessories. The electrosurgical instruments market is categorized as bipolar instruments (advanced vessel sealing instruments and bipolar forceps) and monopolar instruments (electrosurgical pencils, electrosurgical electrodes, suction coagulators, and monopolar forceps). Likewise, the electrosurgical accessories market is also categorized into three major segments, namely, patient return electrodes; cords, cables, and adapters; and others (foot switches, carts, and tip cleaners).

Furthermore, the global electrosurgery market is divided into eight segments on the basis of type of surgery, namely, general surgery, gynecology surgery, urologic surgery, orthopedic surgery, cardiovascular surgery, cosmetic surgery, neurosurgery, and others (ENT, dermatology, and ophthalmic surgeries).

A number of factors such as development of advanced energy based electrosurgical devices, rising demand of minimally invasive surgical procedures, and worldwide rise in the aging population are driving the growth of the global electrosurgery market. On the other hand, factors such as product recalls, increasing government pressure to reduce the healthcare cost and rising trend of bulk purchasing through GPOs (Group Purchasing Organizations) and INHs (Integrated Health Networks) are restricting the growth of the global electrosurgery market.

As of 2014, North America holds the largest share of the global electrosurgery market, followed by Europe. However, the Asia-Pacific market is expected to grow at highest CAGR of ~8% from 2014 to 2019. A number of factors including rising government efforts to increase the population access to the elective surgery, improving healthcare infrastructure, and growing popularity of cosmetic surgery are stimulating the growth of the electrosurgery market in the Asia-Pacific region.
