Surgical Procedures Market

Market Overview

The global Surgical Procedures Market size was 312762.46 thousand units in 2024, and is predicted to reach 375635.48 thousand units by 2030, with a CAGR of 3.1% from 2025 to 2030. Surgical procedures refer to any medical operation to treat a disease, injury, or other health condition. It involves making incisions into the body and repairing, removing, or replacing damaged tissues or organs.

There are many types of surgical procedures, ranging from minimally invasive procedures that use small incisions and specialized instruments to more complex operations that require larger incisions and more extensive surgical involvement. These procedures are performed by trained and licensed medical professionals, such as surgeons, physicians, and anesthesiologists, who use various medical equipment and techniques to diagnose and treat numerous medical conditions. Thus, surgical procedures are valuable and efficient methods to treat a range of health issues. They offer advantages to patients regarding health outcomes and quality of life.

The Rising Incidence of Chronic Diseases Drives the Growth of the Market

The rise in the incidence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and others increases the demand for surgical procedures. Factors such as the rising prevalence of obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels contribute to the growth of cardiovascular diseases, which, in turn, drives the growth of the surgical procedures market.

Moreover, according to the latest report published by World Health Organization (WHO) in February 2022, cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting to about 10 million deaths in 2020 or nearly one in six deaths. Cancer is rising at a rapid pace, owing to an unhealthy lifestyle, which includes poor diet, lack of physical activity, and consumption of tobacco and alcohol. This, in turn, requires surgical intervention, leading to an increase in the demand for resection procedures.

Technological Advancements in the Field of Medical Science Propel the Growth of the Market

Technological advancements in imaging technology and advanced surgical instruments increase the effectiveness of robotic surgery. Robot-assisted surgery is a minimally invasive surgery that provides surgeons greater control, access, and accuracy during the surgical procedure.

Advancements in surgical technology have minimized the risks associated with surgery, thus leading to faster recovery times and fewer complications than traditional methods. Advancements in imaging technology, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have improved the accuracy of diagnosis and preoperative planning, thus leading to better surgical outcomes.

In addition, the development of advanced surgical instruments that include 3D-printed surgical instruments improved the precision and accuracy of surgeries. This factor further propels the surgical procedures market growth.

The High Cost of Surgical Instruments Acts as a Restrain in the Market

The high cost is one of the major factors that restrain the growth of the surgical procedures market. Various factors, such as the cost of medical equipment, facilities, labor, and administration, also influence the cost of abscission procedures. The unavailability of insurance coverage and government reimbursement policies impacts the cost of surgical procedures. High costs can make surgical procedures unaffordable for many individuals, which can limit their adoption and hamper the market growth.

The Introduction of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) for Surgeries Creates Ample Growth Opportunity

The integration of AR and VR in surgical procedures has significantly impacted surgical procedures. AR and VR technologies have revolutionized the way surgeries are performed by providing real-time and three-dimensional images and simulations. These factors, thereby, improve the accuracy and precision of surgical procedures. This technology has numerous applications in the surgical field, including surgical planning, training, simulation, and minimally invasive procedures.

The use of AR and VR technologies helps reduce the risk of surgical errors, minimize patient trauma, and shorten recovery times. It also enables remote consultations and collaboration between medical professionals, improving patient outcomes. Therefore, the introduction of AR and VR in surgical procedures is expected to create ample growth opportunities for the surgical procedures market in the future as more and more healthcare facilities adopt these technologies to enhance their surgical capabilities.

Asia-Pacific Holds a Major Share of the Global Surgical Procedures Market

The rising chronic disorders such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes increase the demand for surgical procedures in the region. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, malignant neoplasms, commonly called cancer, were responsible for 25.43% of the deaths caused by major diseases in urban China in 2020.

Moreover, the rising number of plastic surgeries in Thailand and South Korea further propels the surgical procedures market growth in the region. The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) stated that Thailand is among the top 10 countries with the highest number of invasive and non-invasive procedures among Asian countries. About 92,597 invasive aesthetic procedures were performed in the country in 2021. Cities such as Bangkok and Phuket are considered major cosmetic surgery hubs in the country that have clusters of major aesthetic surgery hospitals and clinics.

The Rest of the World Witnessed Substantial Growth in the Surgical Procedures Market

The countries such as UAE, Turkey, and Morocco experienced a rise in medical tourism, as patients from other regions travel to these countries to access affordable and high-quality medical care. This, in turn, boosts the growth of the surgical procedures industry in this region.

According to the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), Dubai received 630,000 international health tourists in 2021 compared to 500,000 health tourists in 2020. Advancements in medical technology, including robotic surgery, have played a significant role in the growth of the surgical procedures market in the region. This allows surgeons to conduct surgical procedures with greater precision and accuracy.

In addition, Turkish physicians have been providing training in advanced surgical techniques to physicians from other nations, enhancing the reputation of Turkish medical experts in the field of surgery. For instance, in December 2022, Turkish physicians trained doctors from the U.S. and the U.K. in advanced surgical techniques such as robotic and laparoscopic surgery. This highlights the expertise and innovation present in the Turkish healthcare industry and the growing interest from international doctors in learning from Turkish physicians.
