Constant focus by market players to innovate and introduce advanced surgical, and other robots in the global market, has been instrumental in driving market growth.

"Rapid shift towards laparoscopic surgical procedures is key factor driving the adoption of surgical robots in the global market"

There is a rapid shift from conventional open surgical procedures towards minimally invasive surgical procedures globally, owing to various clinical benefits of the latter. These benefits include reduced post-surgical complications, reduced hospital inpatient stays, and lower cost of the procedures. 

Higher efficiency of surgical robots in performing laparoscopic surgical procedures, along with new and advanced procedure-specific robots being introduced in the global market, were some of the major factors that drove the medical robotic systems demand and adoption of surgical robots in the global market in 2018.

Also, new entrants in the market are focusing on developing robots for rehabilitation, including assistive robots, therapy robots (for patients suffering from neurological conditions), along with exoskeletons, and these are fueling the overall medical robotic systems demand. However, comparatively higher acquisition and maintenance costs of these robots, along with higher cost per procedure, especially in robot assisted surgery are some of the major factors restraining the growth of the global medical robotic systems market.

Market Segmentation

Based on product, the market segments include surgical robots, telepresence robots, rehabilitation robots, and others (pharmacy automation robots, etc.). Among the product segment, the surgical robots dominated the global market in 2018, accounting for 64.8% share of the market.

Rapid advances in the surgical robots, along with increasing per capita healthcare expenditure in emerging countries, and rising demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures, are some of the major factors responsible for higher share of the surgical robots segment in the global market in 2018. Based on end user, the global medical robotic systems market segments include hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, rehabilitation centers, and others.
