According to our findings, the surgical instrument tracking systems market is expected to grow at an approximate CAGR of 10-15% during the next two years. According to our analysis, the below factors are playing a key role in shaping the growth of the global market;
The UDI (Unique Device Identification) regulation proposed by the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is expected to drive the surgical instrument tracking systems market. As per the UDI rules, labelers (manufacturers, reprocessors, specification developers, repackagers, and relabelers) of surgical instruments are expected to implement direct marking at the individual instrument level.
Surgical instrument tracking systems require heavy upfront investments that encompass the costs of application software, hardware, tags, and middleware as well as the cost of integrating the barcode/RFID framework along with the legacy system, maintenance services, consultancy fees, and staff training. Although the cost of tags and readers has reduced considerably, the implementation cost of automated tracking systems, such as RFID, that require additional servers, databases, and middleware, has been increasing steadily. The overall cost of implementation of automated surgical instrument tracking systems using RFID is very high as compared to traditional systems such as barcode-based systems.
Active RFID technology is gaining importance as it offers a larger memory and greater detection range (up to 300 ft.) than passive RFID technology (20–40 ft.). This technology is generally used for surgical tray-level tracking—since most surgical instruments are comparatively small in size, it is challenging to develop tags that can fit accurately on these instruments. Moreover, tags need to be autoclavable, which are expensive to develop.
Both RFID and barcode technologies for instrument tracking are marked by significant limitations. In the case of RFID technology, it is believed that ~20% of tags do not function properly. Most RFID tags cannot withstand high temperatures, humidity, and chemical reactions, and can be interfered with by metals and liquids. Moreover, there are chances of interference from other radio transmissions or electric or magnetic fields present in the usage environment.
Based on technology, the surgical instrument tracking systems market is segmented into barcode and RFID. The barcode segment accounted for the larger market share in 2019. The low cost of installation has resulted in the increased adoption of the barcode technology in the surgical instrument tracking systems market.
Based component, the surgical instrument tracking systems market is segmented into software, hardware, and services. The hardware segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the repeat purchase of non-durable RFID tags/barcode labels that need replacement as tags/labels are prone to detachment during washing and/or damage during sterilization cycles.
The surgical instrument tracking systems market is segmented into hospitals and other end users based on end-user. The hospitals segment accounted for the larger share of the surgical instrument tracking systems market in 2019. The growth of the hospitals segment is attributed to their high patient inflow as compared to other end users in the market. Hospitals also use more equipment and instruments on average than other healthcare providers and carry out a greater number of surgical procedures. This has ensured a sustained demand for tracking solutions in hospitals
North America is the largest regional market for surgical instrument tracking systems. The Unique Device Identification (UDI) regulations by the FDA and the need to reduce the healthcare expenditure and need for efficient equipment management is a key factor driving market growth are driving the surgical instrument tracking systems market in North America.
The prominent players in this market are Fortive Corporation Group (US), Material Management Microsystems(US), Becton, Dickson and Company (US), B. Braun Melsungen AG (Germany), Gentinge Group (Sweden), Steris Instrument Management Services (US) and Haldor Advanced Technologies (US).
