Surgical Robots Market Dynamics
Driver: Advantages of robotic-assisted surgery
Globally, due to the advantages such as smaller incisions, fewer cuts, decreased scarring, reduced pain, increased safety, faster recovery periods, and considerable cost savings, minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) are on the rise. Robotic minimally invasive surgery adds to these advantages by ensuring greater accuracy, repeatability, control, and efficiency. These procedures also offer highly advanced visualisation capabilities that aid surgeons with a superior view of the operating area and use HD cameras to illustrate microscopic structures. These systems provide greater dexterity than the human hand; given their ability to rotate 360 degrees and superior maneuverability, robots can allow surgeons to reach hard-to-access areas. These benefits of surgical robots, as well as rising demand for better, faster healthcare services, are expected to drive the growth of the market in the coming years.
Restraint: high cost of robotic systems
Robot-assisted surgeries are more expensive than minimally invasive surgeries. It is recommended by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists that robotic hysterectomy should only be used for unusual and complex clinical conditions. The association states that in the US, the adoption of robotic surgery for all hysterectomies would add an estimated USD 960 million to the annual cost of hysterectomy surgeries. SS Innovations (India) launched Mantra, a robotic surgical system that costs around Rs 4.5 crore, whereas the Da Vinci system, one of the most commonly used robotic systems, costs between USD 1.5 million and USD 2.5 million (Rs 15 crore) (Source: Business Standard, September 2022). The rising cost of surgeries due to the use of robotic systems is thus expected to restrain the growth of the medical robot market.
Opportunity: Increasing penetration of surgical robots in ASCs
Outpatient surgery, also known as ambulatory surgery, day surgery, day case surgery, or same-day surgery, does not require an overnight hospital stay. The term "outpatient" means patients may enter and leave the facility on the same day. Greater convenience and reduced costs are the advantages of outpatient surgery over inpatient surgery. Ambulatory surgery centres (ASCs) are freestanding facilities specialising in surgical, diagnostic, and preventive procedures that do not require hospital admission. The cost-effectiveness of ASCs provides significant savings for governments, third-party payers, and patients. Medicare and its beneficiaries save each year because they pay significantly less for procedures performed in ASCs than the rates paid to hospitals for the same procedures. Patient co-payments are also significantly lower when care is received at an ASC. Owing to these cost benefits, there has been a rapid increase in the number of surgical procedures performed in ASCs and outpatient settings, while hospital in-patient visits have decreased.
Challenge: Surgical Errors
Surgical errors are a serious public health problem and a leading cause of death. Surgical errors are a leading cause of injury in healthcare systems. Globally, unsafe surgical care procedures cause complications in up to 25% of patients. Every year, approximately 7 million people experience surgical complications, among which more than 1 million people die (source: WHO, Patient Safety 2019). According to the NCBI, at least 4,000 surgical errors occur each year in the US. Therefore, many patients are reluctant to undergo surgical procedures, hindering the adoption of surgical robots by surgeons.
The instruments and accessories segment accounted for the largest share of the surgical robots market.
Based on product and service, the market has been segmented into robotic systems, instruments and accessories, and services. In 2021, the instruments and accessories segment accounted for the largest share of the surgical robot market. Growth in this segment is largely attributed to the recurrent purchase of instruments and accessories instead of robotic systems.
The laparoscopy robotic system segment held the largest share of the surgical robots market.
Based on robotic systems, the market has been segmented into laparoscopy robotic systems, orthopaedic robotic systems, neurosurgical robotic systems, and other systems. The laparoscopy robotic system segment held the largest share of the market in 2021. The growing number of laparoscopic surgeries is the key factor supporting the segment's largest share.
The urological surgery segment accounted for the second largest share of the surgical robots market.
By application, the market has been segmented into general surgery, urological surgery, gynaecological surgery, orthopaedic surgery, neurosurgery, and other applications. The orthopaedic robotic system segment held the second-largest share of the market in 2021. An increasing number of robotic urological surgeries will fuel the demand for surgical robots.
The ambulatory surgery centres segment accounted for the second largest share of the surgical robots market.
Based on end users, the market is segmented into hospitals, clinics, and ambulatory surgery centers. Hospitals and clinics will account for the largest share of the market. In 2021, the ambulatory surgery centres segment accounted for the second-largest share of the surgical robot market. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the adoption of surgical procedures offered by ASCs at a lower cost than hospitals.
North America accounted for the largest share of the surgical robots market.
North America will account for the largest share of the market. The region's large share can be attributed to the surge in the adoption of surgical robots by hospitals in the country, the increasing volume of robotic-assisted surgical procedures, and the favourable reimbursement policies.
