Latin America Electrosurgery Market

The Latin America electrosurgery market is projected to reach USD 0.44 billion by 2031, growing from USD 0.33 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period.

The Latin America electrosurgery market is driven by significant demographic, epidemiological, and healthcare system changes, which also create substantial opportunities. The region’s rapidly aging population and increasing life expectancy contribute to a higher prevalence of chronic and degenerative diseases requiring surgical intervention, including oncology, cardiovascular, bariatric, and general surgeries. Brazil’s universal public healthcare system (SUS), along with expanding government-led healthcare initiatives in other countries, is improving access to surgical care and accelerating the adoption of new technologies.
