Global surgical power tools market forecast

Extensive research carried out by the analysts at Technavio has shown that the global surgical power tools market will witness steady growth and will post a moderate CAGR of more than 3% over the forecast period. With the increasing adoption of battery-driven cordless surgical power tools, this market is anticipated to have a positive outlook in the coming years. The use of Li-ion batteries in surgical tools greatly improves the workflow efficiency of surgeons as these batteries offer greater energy density, improved reliability, longer life cycle, and higher performance. Moreover, the rapid technological advancements and increasing market competition have driven the vendors to offer more battery-powered surgical instruments in their product portfolios. The companies are focusing on developing powered surgical instruments that are lighter in size and ergonomically designed. Furthermore, while conventional surgical tools have limitations in sterilization methods, battery-powered surgical tools can be sterilized by various methods such as hydrogen peroxide gases, ethylene oxide gases, and gamma rays.

The advent of robotic surgery is one of the significant trends that is expected to fuel the demand for surgical power tools during the predicted period. The surgical tools are integrated with robots that perform various procedures including minimally invasive surgeries. In addition, most surgical robots work with multi-arms, thereby increasing the demand for various surgical power tools. For instance, the University of Washington has developed a surgical robot that can use multiple surgical tools during operations. Surgical robots are self-powered, computer-controlled devices that can be programmed to support the positioning and manipulation of surgical instruments including surgical power tools. Moreover, surgical robotic systems provide less post-surgical complications and help in reducing labor cost, leading to its increased adoption in hospitals worldwide.
