The global surgical retractors market was valued at USD 2.33 billion in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 5.80% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2027, to reach USD 3.26 billion by 2027. The increase in demand for surgical retractors is primarily attributed to the rising number of surgeries in the world. In addition, rise in the old age population, escalating prevalence of various chronic disorders such as cardiovascular disorders, neurological disorders, and others, availability of specialized and application-specific retractors in the market, and recent product launches, among others is projected to boost the global surgical retractors market during the forecasted period.
Surgical Retractors Market Dynamics:
The market for surgical retractors is growing at a faster pace at present owing to the rise in surgical procedures across the globe. For instance, as per the data revealed by the Global Surgery Foundation in the year 2021, there are an estimated 30% of global disorders caused by various indications that can be treated by surgery.
Moreover, according to the 2019 statistics published by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, about 24% (2.7 million) of the hospital admissions in the country involved elective surgery in the year 2017-2018.
In addition, the continuously increasing geriatric population in the world who are at higher risk of developing various chronic disorders is also expected to raise the demand for surgical retractors thereby augmenting the global surgical retractors market.
For instance, according to the United Nations World Population Ageing 2020 highlights, there were an estimated 727 million persons aged 65 years and over across the globe in the same year which is projected to double by the year 2050 reaching over 1.5 billion people. Moreover, the rising prevalence of various chronic disorders such as neurological disorders, gastrointestinal and abdominal cancer, cardiovascular disorder, among others is also expected to raise the demand for surgical retractors in the upcoming years. For instance, according to the data published by the GLOBOCAN 2020, approximately, in 1,089,103 population or 5.6% of the global population, stomach cancer were reported in the same year.
Additionally, the development of advanced surgical retractors and their launches in the market will also contribute to the surgical retractors market during the forecasted period. For instance, on September 28, 2021, JUNE Medical launched Galaxy II Slider, an ideal solution for retracting tissue in narrow or hard to access operation sites, such as during hand surgeries, pediatrics, or procedures on patients with a high BMI.
Thus, all the aforementioned factors are likely to bolster the global surgical retractors market during the forecasted period.
However, some of the limitations associated with the retractors such as intraoperative damage to other organs leading to postoperative complications are likely to impede the market growth.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has slowed down the global market for surgical retractors during the initial phases. Implementation of nationwide lockdown, disruption in supply chain owing to the logistical restrictions across the borders, and halt in elective surgeries to curb the transmission of infection are some of the reasons that lead to the sluggish market growth of surgical retractors. For instance, as per the World Economic Forum 2020 data, approximately 38% of global cancer surgery has been postponed or canceled. However, owing to the approval and administration of numerous COVID-19 vaccines across the globe in the second half of 2020, there was a significant improvement in the resumption of activities across various domains including healthcare services, thereby paving the way for a sound period of recovery for the surgical retractors market.
Surgical Retractors Market Segment Analysis:
Surgical retractors Market By Product Type (Hand-Held, Self-Retaining and Table Mounted), By Design (Angled Retractors, Hooked Retractors, Circular Retractors, and Others), By Application (Neurosurgery, Cardiovascular Surgery, Abdominal Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecological Surgery, Others), By End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Clinics), and By Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).
In the surgical retractors product type segment, the self-retaining surgical retractors are anticipated to hold a significant share during the forecasted period. This is because self-retaining retractors permit surgery to be conducted without second assistance as compared to the hand-held surgical retractors. In addition, various advantages such as the reduced risk of infection, adequate exposure to the surgical site, and less assistance requirement during the process, are expected to contribute to segment growth.
Furthermore, the launch of new and advanced self-retaining surgical retractors is also expected to augment the segmental growth of the surgical retractors market.
For instance, on December 14, 2020, JUNE Medical partnered with Vivo Surgical to launch the worlds’ first self-retaining ring retractor with light.
Additionally, the recent approval of self-retaining surgical retractors by governmental organizations for their use is another key aspect leading to the growth of the self-retaining surgical retractors market in the forthcoming years. For instance, in October 2021, NHS Supply approved Galaxy II self-retaining surgical retractors making them more accessible to surgeons across England and Wales.
Hence, all the aforementioned factors are projected to contribute to the segmental growth of the global surgical retractors market in the upcoming years.
North America is expected to dominate the overall Surgical Retractors Market:
Among all the regions, North America is expected to occupy a major share in the overall surgical retractors market during the forthcoming years. This domination is owing to the rising volume of surgical procedures in the region. In addition, the growing old age population, susceptible to developing various ailments, the launch of minimally invasive surgical retractors in the region, among others are projected to bolster the demand for surgical retractors in the region.
For instance, in the US, as per the 2021 data released by the Rural Health Information Hub, supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), at present there are more than 46 million adults age 65 and older in the country which is expected to grow to approximately 90 million by the year 2050. Thus, the growing aging population in the country is more at risk for developing various chronic disorders that might require surgery thereby raising the demand for surgical retractors in the upcoming years.
Moreover, the rise in surgical procedures such as cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in the region will also contribute to the surgical retractors market growth. For instance, as per the data released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in the year 2020, approximately 2.3 million cosmetic surgical procedures and around 6.8 million reconstructive procedures were performed in the year 2020 in the US.
In addition, the launch of retractors with minimally invasive options is also expected to spur the market of surgical retractors in the country. For instance, in September 2021, Livac Pty Ltd launched LiVac Retractor in the US which gives surgeons a new, minimally invasive option for robotic and laparoscopic bariatric procedures.
Hence, the interplay of all the above-mentioned factors is anticipated to augment the market for surgical retractors in the region during the forecasted period.
Further, the Asia-pacific region has future potential for the surgical retractors market. This is due to the rising number of surgeries in the region. For instance, in the year 2018, AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Science) became the first institute in the world that had performed maximum surgeries (around 1.94 lakh surgeries) in a year. Furthermore, improving healthcare structure, rise in disposable incomes, and presence of regional market players such as Auxein Medical., Advin Health Care, among others will also contribute to the market growth of surgical retractors in the forthcoming years.
