The government has increased investment for research and innovation of target-specific surgical devices is anticipated to propel the industry forward. The devices have become more common as a result of the growing demand for better healthcare infrastructure. The industry is expected to expand as major players increase their expenditures in the production of technically advanced electrosurgical devices.
Key players in the global market should foresee significant growth opportunities as the use of minimally invasive techniques in cosmetology surgeries increases. Traditional open surgery has given way to the use of less invasive techniques.
Neck lifts, chin surgeries, forehead lifts, and liposuction have all been performed using these devices. Furthermore, the elderly population is projected to increase demand for electrosurgical instruments. According to the United States Census Bureau, the aged population in the country is projected to hit 77 million, by 2034.
Growth Drivers
Increasing adoption of electrosurgical devices owing to an increasing number of minimally invasive surgeries along with the increase in various cardiovascular, cancer, and neurology disorders will drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period. These devices are used in various kinds of surgeries in the area of cardiovascular diseases, oncology, urology, gynecology, cosmetic surgery, and others.
Globally, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases has increased from nearly 270 million in 1990 to more than 500 million, in 2019. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally with nearly 18 million deaths each year. Yearly, more than 18 million cancers are being diagnosed globally and by 2040, it is estimated that 28 million new cancer cases will be diagnosed every year.
Cosmetic surgeries are gaining popularity in the past few decades and minimally invasive procedures account for more than 23% of cosmetic surgeries. The increase in surgeries owing to increasing disease prevalence will significantly boost the global market.
Many new products have been launched in the global market to meet the demands of the healthcare sector. In May 2019, Olympus launched ESG-150 Electrosurgery Generator (ESG-150) after receiving approval from US regulatory approval from FDA.
ESG-150 Electrosurgery Generator (ESG-150) will power endoscopic devices by supplying high-frequency electrical current and the new system has improved patient safety and ease of use. During the same period, the company also received an FDA nod for its latest generation ESG-300 Electrosurgery Generator that is specifically designed for the treatment of gastrointestinal and pulmonary related problems.
In early 2020, Olympus and Ethicon, Inc. signed an agreement for the VERSAPOINT Electrosurgery system developed by Ethicon. Under this agreement, Olympus will acquire commercial rights related to the VERSAPOINT Electrosurgery system. This will allow Olympus to expand its gynecology portfolio in minimally invasive surgeries.
COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the postponement of non-emergency procedures such as cosmetic surgery and some other minimally invasive procedures which are expected to hamper the global market for electrosurgical devices to an extent.
The market is primarily segmented on the basis of product, application, end-use, and region.
