The U.S. gynecology robotic surgery market size was USD 1.04 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 1.38 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period.


Robotic surgery is showcasing a rapid adoption in various surgical procedures such as knee replacement, hysterectomies, aesthetics, and others. When compared to orthopedics which includes players such as Stryker Corporation, Zimmer Biomet, and others, gynecology is a relatively new and emerging application area for robotic surgery. In recent years, the demand for minimally invasive surgeries is increasing. Even in gynecology, the majority of hysterectomies are done laparoscopically or robotically, which, in turn, is fostering the market.


Furthermore, an increasing number of da Vinci Surgical System installations in the U.S. and the entry of new players are projected to augment the market growth. During 2018-2019, the number of gynecology procedures performed by Intuitive’s da Vinci increased by 10.2% and reached 282,000 in 2019 in the U.S. This is likely to propel the market during the forecast period.


Postponement of Elective Surgeries due to COVID-19 Pandemic to Disrupt Growth


The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the healthcare environment adversely. The pandemic has led to a disturbance in the demand and supply chain, which has profusely impacted the medical devices sector. In March 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the postponement and cancellation of all elective and non-essential medical, surgical, and dental procedures. The step was taken to reserve and reallocate healthcare resources for the management of COVID-19 patients.


However, due to this, the sales of medical devices, including robotic systems, came to a halt. This negatively impacted the number of robotic gynecology procedures and revenue of the major players operating in the market. For instance, the revenue of Intuitive Surgical Inc. decreased by 6.2% in the first six months of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The company also exhibited a significant decline in the number of da Vinci procedures, as compared to last year.


Furthermore, according to a study conducted by the American Hospital Association, hospitals and health systems in the U.S. have seen an average decline of 20% in inpatient volume and 35% in outpatient volume during the pandemic. This, coupled with the closing of manufacturing sites and restrictions on the movement of people, is expected to hamper the market significantly.

Growing Shift towards Less Invasive Gynecological Surgeries is a Current Trend


Less invasive procedures offer considerable benefits over open surgeries such as faster recovery, faster procedures, fewer complications, lower readmission rates, and others. Thus, the advantages of minimally invasive surgeries are the primary reason that is surging their demand not only in North America, but also in Europe and Asia Pacific. Over the last two decades, there has been a significant decline in the number of open surgeries due to technological advancements in surgical robotic systems, as well as in devices that are used to perform minimally-invasive procedures, specifically the introduction and improvements in robotic surgical systems.


The U.S. has seen a gradual shift towards hysterectomies being performed as minimally invasive outpatient procedures. Outpatient settings account for around 70-80% of total benign hysterectomies in 2019 in the U.S., a considerable growth from only 10-15% in 2008. This is poised to surge the market growth during the forecast period.


DRIVING FACTORS


Rising Incidence of Gynecological Conditions in the U.S. to Propel Growth


Various factors, including the ageing population and sedentary lifestyles are increasing the risk of the development of gynecological conditions among women in the U.S. This is one of the key factors for the expansion of the market.



  • Endometriosis is estimated to affect around 11% of women belonging to the reproductive age. According to the American Cancer Society, about 13,800 new cases of cervical cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2020.


Furthermore, the use of robotic surgery for the treatment of gynecological conditions has grown significantly since the approval of the da Vinci robotic surgical system for gynecological surgery. This is expected to drive the market growth for U.S. gynecology robotic surgery.


Focus of Manufacturer on Entering the U.S. Market to Favor Adoption of Robotic Systems


Owing to the increasing demand for minimally invasive hysterectomies, many manufacturers such as Titan Medical Inc., CMR Surgical, and others are increasing their R&D activities to enter the market.



  • For instance, Titan Medical Inc. is currently developing SPORT robotic surgical system for various applications, including gynecology and is eyeing to enter the U.S. market post regulatory approvals.


Regulatory approvals and increasing efforts by the robotic systems manufacturers for the product launches in the U.S. market are likely to favor the demand for gynecology robotic surgery.  


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Unfavorable Reimbursement Policies to Restrict Market Growth


Robotic gynecological procedures are being reimbursed at the same rate as open or laparoscopic surgical procedures even when the cost of performing the former is significantly higher. This would limit the adoption of gynecological robotic surgical systems in the U.S.



  • The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services increased 2016 reimbursement rates up to 82% for most of the minimally invasive gynecological outpatient procedures. However, the CMS also includes robotic surgery in MIS procedures, which would result in a lesser reimbursement amount.


Owing to this, surgeons are opting for laparoscopic or other MIS approaches rather than robotic surgery. This, coupled with high cost is a prominent reason for the lower adoption of robotic surgery, especially for those involved in private practice in their own offices.

Demand for Minimally Invasive Hysterectomies to Propel Instruments & Accessories Segment


Based on the type, the market for U.S. gynecology robotic surgery is segmented into robotic systems, instruments & accessories, and services. The instruments and accessories segment dominated the market in 2019 and is projected to retain its position throughout the forecast period. Primary factors responsible for the dominant U.S. gynecology robotic surgery market share of the segment are the increasing number of hysterectomies, rising importance on women’s health, and the rapid adoption of robotic surgery in gynecology. According to the National Women’s Health Network, 600,000 hysterectomies are performed annually in America, which is likely to propel the segment’s growth.


The rising installed base of da Vinci surgical system, as well as the increasing efforts by various surgical robotics companies to enter into the market in the United States through significant R&D investment and FDA approvals are expected to drive the growth of the robotic systems segment. For instance, in January 2018, Medrobotics received FDA clearance for marketing Flex Robotic System for gynecological procedures in the U.S.
