Telesurgery Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Surgery Type (Gastrointestinal Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery and Other Surgery Types), Component, Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Telesurgery Market is growing at a CAGR of 13.1% during the forecast period. Telesurgery is often referred to as remote surgery or telemedicine surgery, is a type of surgery in which a surgeon operates on a patient who is not present in person. It entails a surgeon operating on a patient who may be in a different city, nation, or even continent by using technology, such as robotics and fast communication networks. Using a station with cameras and sophisticated controls, the surgeon may remotely operate robotic arms and other surgical devices.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising demand for minimally invasive surgery

The demand for telesurgery is fueled by the preference for minimally invasive procedures, has surged significantly. With advancements in robotics and telecommunication technologies, patients seek remote surgical options that offer reduced scarring, shorter recovery times, and precise interventions. Its ability to merge advanced robotics with expert human control makes it an appealing choice, reflecting the growing trend toward minimally invasive surgical solutions in healthcare.

Restraint:

Data encryption and security

Despite providing remote medical treatments, telesurgery has issues with encryption and security. Data transmission over networks enhances the possibility of eavesdropping, jeopardizing patient privacy. Surgery accuracy in real time is impacted by delay introduced by encryption. Furthermore, encryption techniques may be open to cyber attacks, increasing the possibility of unwanted access to vital medical operations. Thus, these factors are impeding the market's expansion.

Opportunity:

Improved access to specialized care

Telesurgery revolutionizes specialized care by transcending geographical barriers, granting remote access to expert surgeons for intricate procedures. Utilizing advanced technologies like robotics and high-speed internet, it enables real-time guidance and execution of surgeries from a distance. This democratizes healthcare, ensuring timely, precise interventions regardless of location, ultimately improving outcomes and expanding the reach of specialized care globally. Hence, this is the factor propelling the growth of the market.

Threat:

High costs and accessibility

Telesurgery has severe cost and accessibility barriers. Its implementation is hampered by high initial setup costs for specialized equipment and infrastructure, particularly in places with limited resources. Financial difficulties also persist due to the costs of updating and maintaining the equipment. These obstacles hinder widespread implementation of telesurgery, preventing its potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery, particularly in remote regions.

Covid-19 Impact

COVID-19 led to restrictions on travel and physical interaction, creating a need for remote healthcare solutions. Telesurgery became more appealing as it allowed surgeons to operate on patients without being in the same location, minimizing the risk of exposure to the virus. The pandemic spurred advancements in telecommunication technologies, such as improved internet connectivity, better video conferencing tools, and more sophisticated robotic surgical systems. These advancements helped enhance the feasibility and reliability of telesurgery.

The gastrointestinal surgery segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The gastrointestinal surgery segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period. Real-time guidance from experts improves surgical precision, reducing complications and recovery times. Moreover, it facilitates surgical education, enabling training for surgeons globally. Its integration of technology promotes innovation and the development of advanced surgical techniques, potentially revolutionizing gastrointestinal surgery for a more efficient, widespread, and enhanced patient experience.

The hospitals segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The hospitals segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. They facilitate expert surgeons to perform operations remotely, overcoming geographical barriers and bringing specialized care to remote areas. Telesurgery hospitals optimize resource allocation, improve surgical precision through robotic assistance, and enable real-time consultations, fostering collaborative learning among medical professionals.
