Medical Robotic Systems Market Trends:

Increasing Demand for Minimally Invasive Surgeries

The increasing adoption of robotic systems for minimally invasive surgeries drives the market growth. Patients prefer minimally invasive surgery due to the lower risk of complications and reduced hospitalization periods. For instance, according to a cross-sectional study of 305 VV-afflicted patients at Zhejiang Rongjun Hospital between January 2022 and June 2023 evaluated the treatment preferences of the patients. Out of the 96 patients who selected an option of treatment, nearly 24.0% went with traditional surgery, and 76.0% went with MIT. Moreover, manufacturers are expanding their product offerings and upgrading existing systems to meet the demand for advanced surgical capabilities and technological innovations. For instance, in April 2024, Manipal Hospital, Kharadi, launched advanced robotic knee replacement surgery, which promised more precision, faster recovery times, and less discomfort than traditional surgeries. This provides advantages, such as sub-millimeter accuracy during implant surgery, a lower risk of infection, and the prospect of speedier recovery and release within 24 hours. This breakthrough technique allows patients to have minimally invasive surgery with reduced recovery periods, higher precision, and a better quality of life. These factors are further driving the medical robotic systems market growth.

Adoption of Surgical Robots

Surgical robots offer superior precision, skill, and accuracy compared to traditional surgical techniques. They enable surgeons to perform complex procedures. For instance, according to an article published by Mayo Clinic, during surgery, robotic technology can help surgeons be more precise, flexible, and in control. When compared to conventional surgical techniques, robotic technology also improves the visibility of the operating site. Surgeons can carry out intricate and delicate treatments with robotic surgery that would be challenging or impossible to accomplish with other techniques. Besides this, favorable regulatory approvals and reimbursement policies for robotic-assisted surgeries support market growth. Healthcare regulatory bodies recognize the clinical benefits of robotic systems and encourage their adoption through streamlined approval processes. For example, in March 2024, Intuitive received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) certification for their fifth-generation multiport robotic system, called da Vinci 5. With more than 150 improvements, it boasts the first force-sensing technology, a next-generation 3D display and image processing, and increased precision. With customizable posture and the option to make changes while using the console, the da Vinci 5 system's revamped console provides surgeons with increased comfort. These factors are further escalating the growth of the global medical robotic systems market.

Technological Advancements

Modern medical robotic systems leverage advanced imaging technologies, such as high-definition cameras, 3D visualization, and real-time image processing. These technologies provide surgeons with detailed, magnified views of the surgical site, enabling precise manipulation of tissues and organs. For instance, in June 2024, Endiatx, a medical technology company, unveiled its robotic pill to the market. The PillBot is an ingestible robotic capsule that has cameras, sensors, and wireless communication capabilities, allowing clinicians to investigate the gastrointestinal tract with unprecedented accuracy and control. Enhanced accuracy reduces the risk of human error and improves surgical outcomes, particularly in complex procedures. Besides this, AI and machine learning algorithms are increasingly integrated into medical robotic systems to enhance decision-making capabilities and automate complex tasks. AI-powered systems can analyze vast amounts of data in real-time, predict surgical outcomes, and assist surgeons in planning and executing procedures more effectively. For example, in October 2023, Body Vision Medical launched a new software update for its LungVision™ navigation and real-time imaging platform. The update includes the latest AI Tomography imaging algorithm, a streamlined workflow for robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB), reduced radiation exposure for medical staff and patients during lung nodule biopsy procedures, etc. These factors are further driving the medical robotic systems market size.
