Report description

This report will analyze the market potential for minimally-invasive and non-invasive surgery. The major factor driving market growth is the increasing demand for minimally-invasive/non-invasive heart surgery, as these are safer and cheaper than invasive techniques. Following the rising levels of beauty-consciousness, the market is also witnessing a rising demand for minimally-invasive cosmetic surgeries. The end-users of the minimally-invasive and non-invasive surgery products are mainly hospital surgical departments, outpatient surgery centers, group medical practices, individual surgeons, and medical schools. Surgical devices constitute about 69% of the entire minimally-invasive and non-invasive device market.

The existing studies and third-party market reports do not provide a comprehensive understanding of the minimally-invasive and non-invasive surgery market. The critical markets within this broader field are also not analyzed. This report analyzes seven levels of micro-markets under the identified macro-markets. Other reports cover only the products and applications under minimally invasive and non-invasive surgery; and miss out on technology and end-users, which we have covered comprehensively.

Scope of the report

The report gives a full breakdown of the entire minimally invasive and non-invasive surgery market on the basis of products, applications, technology, and end-users. The report highlights strategic issues such as tapping upcoming markets, consolidating strategies, new product development, competitive positioning, gap analysis, and the identification of opportunities and challenges. Niche opportunities are identified for both product and service sub-segments within the minimally invasive and non-invasive surgery market.

The report features more than 100 tables categorized by geography, products, applications, technologies, and end-users. Each section of the report will provide market data, market drivers, trends and opportunities, top-selling products, key players, and competitive outlook. The report also profiles more than 54 key companies to give a complete insight into the competitive scenario of the entire minimally invasive and non-invasive surgery market.

As the people are demanding more convenience such as painless treatment, and less post operative stay in surgeries, the market is set to evolve as a miniature instrument based surgery in the future, which will ensure further convenience in such type of surgeries. The introduction of capsule endoscopy is one such example. The minimal invasive surgery market is evolving towards more convenience for the patients and subsequent technological advancements. This showcases the growth potential of the miniature instruments based surgeries in future.

In 2009, the global minimal invasive/ non invasive market is estimated to be approximately $16.4 billion and is expected to reach $24.4 billion by 2014 at a CAGR of 8.3%.

Major driving factors for the minimal invasive/ non invasive surgery market

• Increase in aging population (65 years and above)
• Increase in demand of less risky operating methods
• Pressure to reduce heath care cost
• Lesser hospitalization period compared to conventional surgeries
• Higher rate of acceptance

Major restraints for the minimally invasive/ non invasive surgery market

• Limited number of surgeries performed with minimally invasive technique
• Requirement of specialized training and equipments to perform such surgeries

Major opportunities for the minimally invasive/ non invasive surgery market lies in its huge market size and growth which is driving new entrants in the market.

In the minimally invasive product market (which includes surgical devices, monitoring and visualization system, endosurgical equipments, medical robotics, and electrosurgical equipments), medical robotics is the fastest growing segment which is expected to reach $1.1 billion by 2014 growing at a CAGR of 21.3%, while surgical device alone constitute approximately $11.3 billion in 2009, which is more than 65% of the entire market.

In the minimally invasive application market (which includes gastrointestinal surgery, gynecology surgery, urology surgery, cosmetic surgery, obesity surgery, thoracic surgery, cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, orthopaedic surgery, and other surgery), cardiac surgery forms the major share of this market with estimated annual revenue of $11.2 billion in 2009. While orthopedic surgery is the highest growing market with a CAGR of 12.9% for the period 2009 to 2014 mainly due to introduction of new technologies such as joint replacements and bio implants in such surgeries.
