Global surgical robots market was valued at USD2.3 billion in 2020. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 21.6%) between 2021 and 2028. This market is experiencing a rapid growth due to the acceptance and growing adoption of Minimally Invasive Surgeries. The market is also seeing an increase in international players. Market growth is expected to be driven by the increasing number of hip and knee replacements due to high levels of osteoporosis, bone-degenerative disease, arthritis, and other related injuries.
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality reports that more than 450,000 total hip replacements are performed annually in the United States. According to statistics from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the rate of total knee replacements for Osteoarthritis rose by 38% between 2005-06 and 2017-18. The market is expected to grow during the forecast period due to an increase in the number of surgeries. Due to quarantine orders or government-imposed stay at-home, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the market and decreased surgical procedures.
Intuitive Surgical, Inc. reported a 3% decrease in revenue for 2020 compared with 2019, and a 19.0% decline in volume in the second quarter 2020. These factors contributed to a decrease in global market growth during the COVID-19 epidemic. Due to prioritization of COVID-19 treatments, the emergence of COVID-19 strains and recommended deferrals for elective medical procedures are expected to reduce market demand.
The growth is also being supported by the increasing number of FDA approvals for companies. Intuitive Surgical, Inc.'s robotic surgical system, Ion, was granted 510(k), clearance by the FDA in 2019. The market is also supported by the increasing adoption of robotic-assisted surgery, increased use of robotic systems for surgical intervention, and ongoing technological R&D. The market is also being driven by strategic initiatives from established international players.
Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon subsidiary acquired Auris Health in 2019 as a developer and operator of a robotic platform. This acquisition will support the company’s commitment to fight lung cancer and help expand its digital surgery portfolio across multiple specialties. OrthoSpace, Ltd. was acquired by Stryker Corp. in 2019. This acquisition strengthened Stryker Corp.'s surgical portfolio. These initiatives will likely increase product visibility and adoption, which should lead to increased market growth over the forecast period.
Recent technological advances in 3D imaging, data recorders, data analytic systems, microscopic camera with high definition, remote navigation system systems, motion sensors and other accessories used for surgery have led to a paradigm shift in surgical robots. These technological advances are useful in developing new applications for existing platforms as well as creating disruptive technologies that could be used to drive the market.
Robotic surgery systems are touted as safer than traditional surgeries. However, there are many risks associated with them, including human and mechanical errors. There are many components in these systems and they could fail, causing more problems. However, technological advances and improvements in systems can help to reduce errors and increase market growth over the forecast period.
The market can be divided into three segments based on application: neurology, gynecology and orthopedics. In 2020, the revenue share for others was more than 36%. Other applications include oncology and laparoscopy. The main factors behind the segment's growth are an increasing demand for minimally invasive surgery and the growing use of surgical robots in the treatment of cancer.
The fastest expected CAGR for the neurology segment will be recorded during the forecast period. Neurosurgery procedures have remarkable capabilities that deliver excellent results and lessen the limitations of traditional methods. This is why robots are becoming more popular in this field.
The segment will be driven by the increasing use of products to treat patients with brain tumors and other conditions. This is due to technological advances in robotic brain surgery. According to RIA, a remote brain surgery was performed in 2019 using 5G technology and robotics assistance. These cases are a sign of the potential growth in robotics in neurosurgery.
North America was the dominant market in the global market, with a revenue share exceeding 52% in 2020. It will continue to hold the top spot and grow at a steady CAGR for the forecast period. International players are key drivers of the market, with a wide range of products that have been cleared by FDA, as well as ongoing advancements in robotics and the need for minimally invasive surgery to shorten the recovery period.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region market over the forecast period. Market growth will be fueled by improvements in instruments' development. This is likely to allow surgeons to work more efficiently. Market growth is also expected to be boosted by the increasing adoption of robotic technology in the region and the growing awareness about robotic surgery and its benefits.
Due to technological advances and the rising demand for minimally invasive procedures, there is a lot of competition among existing players. In the future, new companies will likely be encouraged by the rising product demand. This is due to increasing awareness and acceptance of robotic surgery. Strategic mergers and acquisitions of companies are expected to increase competition and drive market growth.
Medtronic, for instance, acquired Digital Surgery in February 2020. This private-owned AI company specialized in surgical procedures. The company was a leader in data analytics, training, and digital education. Medtronic was able to strengthen its robotic-assisted platform for surgery with this acquisition. The company also expanded their portfolio by adding Hugo, a new robotic system. These are some of the major players in the global market for surgical robots:
