Global Urology Robotic Surgery Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global urology robotic surgery market

The global urology robotic surgery market is anticipated to grow at a steady rate and will post a CAGR of around 8% during the forecast period. The growing preference for minimally invasive (MI) surgeries over open surgical methods will drive the growth prospects for the global urology robotic surgery market during the forecast period. With the increasing preference for MI surgeries, the adoption of robotic-assisted techniques is also increasing. To enhance the overall surgical outcome by reducing the recovery time, hospital stay, and postoperative pain, most surgeons prefer robotics to perform complicated surgeries in areas such as urology and gynecology. Robot-assisted techniques allow precise movement of instruments and give a better view of the target area compared to other conventional techniques. Also, robotics is used to perform prostatectomies for prostate cancer and operations on the colon, bladder, rectum, and kidney for the treatment of chronic diseases. This recent rise in the number of surgical procedures is expected to drive the global urology robotic surgery market during the estimated period.

In 2015, the Americas accounted for the maximum market share and will continue to dominate the market until the end of 2020. It has been noted that the growing incidence of urology disorders is fueling the growth prospects for the market in the region. Another factor contributing to the market’s growth in the Americas is the emergence of nano-robotics. Moreover, to gain market shares, most vendors in the market are focusing on R&D activities that will lead to the development of advanced robotic systems. The availability of such advanced robotic systems will aid in the strong growth of this market during the estimated period.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

Globally, the urology robotic surgery market is highly monopolized and is dominated by the Intuitive Surgical company, which currently occupies the maximum market share. It has been observed that increasing innovations to develop advanced robotic systems will increase the level of competition among the existing vendors.

Key vendors in this market are -

• Intuitive Surgical
• Titan Medical
• TransEnterix

Segmentation by procedure and analysis of the urology robotic surgery market

• Prostatectomy
• Nephrectomy

The prostatectomy procedure market segment accounted for the maximum market share during 2015 and will continue to dominate the market in the forthcoming years. Robotic prostatectomy offers a possible cure for the individuals who are diagnosed with the early organ confined stages of the disease. Also, the improved outcome of robotic surgeries includes reduced risk of complications, reduced rate blood loss, reduced length of stay, and lower risk of positive surgical margins.

Segmentation by product and analysis of the urology robotic surgery market

• Robotic surgery systems
• Instruments and accessories
• Services

The instruments and accessories segment of the market accounted for the maximum market share during 2015 and will continue to dominate the market during the predicted period. Instruments and accessories are used to help surgeons in conducting surgeries using robotic systems. Accessories include sterile drapes, light guides, camera heads, and other items that facilitate the use of robotic systems, whereas instruments include mechanical arms that are used to perform surgery through tiny incisions. A major factor driving this market segment’s growth is the continued adoption of instruments and accessories by healthcare professionals, which results in recurring revenue generation.
