US General Surgical Devices Market - Segmented by Product, and Applications - Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2018 - 2023)

The US general surgical devices market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period, 2018 to 2023. Increasing demand for technologically advanced surgical devices, favorable reimbursement policies, and growing investment from the private sector in healthcare are the factors augmenting the growth of the US general surgical devices market.

Favorable Health Insurance Policies

The reimbursement system in the United States consists of public/private and third-party payment system. For instance, in 2016, 53 million people over 65 years of age were covered by the federal Medicare program. According to the Census Bureau’s report on health insurance coverage, the uninsured rate dropped from 10.4% to 9.1% in 2014. The growing aging population, well-established health insurance coverage system from the public and private, and drop in uninsured rate are likely to drive the growth of the US general surgeries market. Additionally, the presence of key players, technological advancements, easy availability of surgical devices in hospitals, and growing awareness regarding minimally invasive surgeries are the factors driving the growth of US general surgical devices market.

Stringent Regulatory Environment

The US regulatory process is time-consuming as compared to other European countries. For instance, the devices that need communication with FDA regarding a clinical study for the low- to moderate- risk device before making a regulatory submission, the premarket process for such devices takes an average of 31 months for clearance. In contrast, an average of seven months is required in Europe for clearance of the same devices. Thus, a stringent regulatory process and a cut down in the reimbursement scenario are also likely to impede the growth of the US general surgical devices market.

Orthopedic to Dominate the Market

The general surgical devices market is segmented by product, applications, and geography. By application, it is segmented into obstetrics and gynecology, plastic and reconstructive surgeries, urology, cardiology, orthopedic, and others.
