Global Healthcare Robotics-Surgical Robots Market Size By End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Centers), By Application (Gynecological Surgery, Urological Surgery, Neurosurgery), By Geographic Scope And Forecast

Healthcare Robotics-Surgical Robots Market Size And Forecast

Healthcare Robotics-Surgical Robots Market size was valued at USD 6.43 Billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 13.73 Billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 11.45% from 2020 to 2027.

Healthcare Robotics-Surgical Robots Market is growing at a higher pace owing to the increasing incidences of chronic illnesses, increasing geriatric population, the growing complexity of surgical procedures that require more precision and flexibility. Additionally, rising stress levels owing to long working hours and unhealthy lifestyles is another factor for the generation of demand for Surgical Robots in countries such as India. The Global Healthcare Robotics-Surgical Robots Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Healthcare Robotics-Surgical Robots Market Definition

Robotic Surgery, or robot-assisted surgery, permits doctors to perform numerous types of intricate procedures with more precision, flexibility, and control than is possible with conventional techniques. Robotic surgery is usually associated with minimally invasive surgery — procedures performed through tiny incisions. It is also sometimes used in certain traditional open surgical procedures. The most extensively used clinical robotic surgical system comprises a camera arm and mechanical arms with surgical instruments attached to them. The surgeon controls the arms while being seated at a computer console near the operating table and the console gives the surgeon a high-definition, magnified, 3D view of the surgical site. The other team members who assist during the operation are led by the surgeon. The advantages of Robotic Surgery involve Less pain and blood loss, quicker recovery, and smaller, less noticeable scars.

Global Healthcare Robotics-Surgical Robots Market Overview

The demand for minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) is on the rise across the globe mainly due to the advantages associated with these procedures, such as smaller incisions, less cuts, less scarring, reduced pain, increased safety, faster recovery periods, and considerable cost savings. Robotic minimally invasive surgery is advantageous as it ensures greater accuracy and repeatability, as well as providing greater control and efficiency. According to a 2018 article on a gynecological study of laparoscopy hysterectomy, the conversion rate of straight-stick laparoscopy to open surgery was 25%. On the other hand, procedures using a robotic platform showed a conversion rate of typically less than 5%, which leads to a reduction in morbidity and blood loss.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), stroke is the leading cause of serious long-term disability in the US. Impairments that result from stroke include fatigue, hemiparesis, and difficulties with walking. It is vital for stroke patients to regain their walking ability by actively participating in the rehabilitation process to avoid secondary complications such as osteoporosis or heart disease. In 2017, a study published in the Hong Kong Physiotherapy Journal compared robotic-assisted gait therapy (RAGT) with traditional physiotherapy in 14 patients. The results of this study stated that RAGT could provide stroke patients with extra benefits in terms of ambulation, mobility, and balance as compared to physiotherapy.

Also, in 2013, a study conducted by UK-based Cochrane Collaboration concluded that stroke patients who engaged in robot-assisted gait training for their rehabilitation demonstrated improved recovery in independent walking as compared to patients who only pursued conventional gait training. The most significant advantage of using robot technology in rehabilitation intervention is the ability to deliver high-dosage and high-intensity training. This property makes robotic therapy a promising novel technology for the rehabilitation of patients with motor disorders caused by stroke or spinal cord disease. Research into rehabilitation robotics has been growing rapidly, and the number of therapeutic rehabilitation robots has increased dramatically through the last two decades.

Emerging countries such as India offers radiotherapy treatment options at a relatively cheaper price as compared to the developed nations. For instance, in the US, patients have to pay between USD 50,000–100,000 for CyberKnife treatment, whereas in India, the procedure costs 60 to 80% lesser (SourceTour2India4Health Group). The presence of less-stringent regulations and data requirements, in addition to low treatment costs attracts patients from all around the world. Also, the regulatory policies in the Asia Pacific are considered to be more adaptive and business-friendly by market players. All these factors encourage market players to put more emphasis on emerging markets in the coming years. Thus, the growing healthcare expenditure, especially in the wake of COVID-19 and improving surgical procedures, coupled with business expansions of major players in the emerging markets, are expected to produce high growth opportunities for the Healthcare Robotics-Surgical Robots Market.
