Bipolar Generator Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Standard Bipolar Forceps Generator, Others), By Application (Hospital, Ambulatory Surgery Centers, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

A bipolar generator is an electrosurgical generator applying a high-frequency electric current to biological tissue as a means to coagulate, cut, desiccate, or fulgurate tissue. These generators are generally used with bipolar forceps. These electrosurgical generators produce various electric current types so that monopolar electrosurgery or bipolar electrosurgery can be performed efficiently depending upon the specific surgery type. Thus, there is a need for these generators in electrosurgery, through which a high-frequency electric current can be produced. The increased amount of government spending in the healthcare sector and new technological advances in electrosurgery will propel the market's growth during the projected period.

The bipolar generator market is witnessing high demand due to the rising popularity of cosmetic surgeries and the increased bariatric surgeries. In addition, the growing amount of government spending in the healthcare sector and the new technological advances in electrosurgery will positively enhance the growth of the bipolar generator market.

• According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons' National Plastic Surgery Statistics 2020, 15,595,955 cosmetic procedures took place in the United States. The entire reconstructive procedures count reached 6,878,486.


• According to the Centres for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the National Healthcare Expenditure of the United States grew by 4.6% to USD 3.8 trillion in 2019. It accounted for 17.7% of the Gross Domestic Product. Out of this, the federal government accounted for 29% of the spending.

The factor that is expected to inhibit the market's growth is the intense competition among the leading market players. Due to this, investors from various end-use industries find it difficult to invest the amount for these generators, which in turn hampers the growth of the bipolar generator market.

North America is expected to dominate the market and grow significantly during the forecast period, owing to the rapid technological advancements in electrosurgery in the region. In addition, the rising popularity of bipolar generators in cosmetic surgeries positively enhances the market growth for the region. The U.S. holds the major share in the market and dominates the market for the region, followed by Canada.

• The increasing demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures has risen due to the adoption of laparoscopic procedures for plastic surgery, hernia repair, and colorectal cancer surgery. This has enhanced the demand for technological advancements in electrosurgery equipment and processes.


• According to a report by the German Heart Surgery, the heart operations using extracorporeal circulation dropped due to the rise in innovations in minimally invasive therapeutic equipment like the bipolar generator in heart surgeries. Almost 51.1% of heart valve operations performed out of the total cardiac surgical procedures in Germany were through the single-valve procedure, out of which 38.5% of them were through minimal invasive heart surgeries that required bipolar generators.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE BIPOLAR GENERATOR MARKET

The Bipolar Generator Market is expected to take a small amount of time before recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic due to a reduction in plastic surgeries and laparoscopies with minimally invasive techniques due to the increased risk of COVID-19 infection during the process.

• According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons' National Plastic Surgery Statistics 2020, there was a 15% year-on-year drop in the total number of cosmetic procedures in 2020. Similarly, a 3% drop in the total reconstructive procedures was witnessed

Although the cosmetic healthcare industry is slowly recovering due to the reduction of the COVID-19 threat due to mass vaccination, the demand for the bipolar generator is projected to grow slower due to the changed consumer behavior towards cosmetic procedures.
