Key Market Trends
Obstetrics and Gynecology Segment is Expected to Showcase Significant Growth Over the Forecast Period
Obstetrics and gynecology dominated the market of cutter stapler in 2019 due to the rising number of childbirths throughout the world. In 2018, CDC estimated that 1,208,176 cesarean deliveries were conducted in the United States. In addition, a high prevalence of female reproductive organ disorders, such as cervical cancer, uterine cancer, and polycystic ovary syndrome, has given rise to more number of gynecologic surgeries.
Soaring volume of surgical procedures, such as ablation, laparoscopy, endoscopy, and female sterilization, coupled with the growing usage of single-use products, is expected to bolster the demand for these products. Minimally invasive gynecologic surgeries also lead to less postoperative pain, resulting in shorter hospital stays. Frequent introduction of technically advanced products is likely to spur the growth of the market over the forecast period.
The North America Dominates the Market and is Expected to Continue the Same during the Forecast Period
North America holds the largest share in the market, owing to the use of advanced technologies and non-invasive methods in increasing the number of total surgeries performed. Other reasons for sizeable market share are the presence of global players, the highest obesity rate in this region, and FDA approval for non-invasive surgeries. With recent developments in minimally invasive surgeries, special devices are designed for laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgeries, which include the use of surgical cutter stapling devices.
Asia-Pacific is likely to exhibit the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the presence of a large patient pool in economies such as India, China, and Japan. Surgical staplers are categorized under “drugs” and were regulated under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act in India because of increasing demand and use. Implementation of this act rendered strict regulations for the manufacturing and distribution of surgical staplers.
With increasing conduct of surgical procedures, coupled with rising healthcare expenditure, and rising awareness regarding the use of them, the demand for stapling is expected to witness lucrative growth. Key players in the market are also investing in this region to expand their footprints. Initiatives, such as those taken by Johnson & Johnson Medical trained 125,000 doctors in advanced surgical products, including non-invasive surgical staples, are estimated to boost the market in the region.
