The arthroscopy devices and equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.1 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing aging population with joint disorders, rising demand for outpatient arthroscopy procedures, expansion of robotic-assisted orthopedic surgeries, growing investments in advanced surgical visualization, increasing focus on faster patient recovery. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of minimally invasive arthroscopy procedures, rising use of high-definition visualization systems, growing demand for advanced arthroscopy implants, expansion of radiofrequency-based treatment systems, enhanced focus on precision surgical instruments.
The increasing older population is anticipated to drive the growth of the arthroscopy devices and equipment market in the coming years. Older individuals are more susceptible to various orthopedic conditions, including arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. As the number of people entering the older age bracket rises, the prevalence of osteoarthritis and other joint-related ailments is expected to increase, often necessitating arthroscopic procedures for both diagnosis and treatment. For example, in October 2025, according to the World Health Organization, a US-based specialized health agency, the global population aged 80 and above is projected to triple by 2050, reaching approximately 426 million. Therefore, the expanding older population is likely to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Major companies operating in the arthroscopy devices and equipment market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions such as single-use arthroscopes to deliver consistent, high-quality optics for every procedure. Single-use arthroscopes are disposable instruments designed for minimally invasive joint inspections or treatments, providing sterility and eliminating the need for reprocessing. For instance, in November 2023, Pristine Surgical, a US-based medical device company, launched Summit, a 4K single-use surgical arthroscope. This fully integrated disposable arthroscope provides 4K imaging in a sterile and cost-effective format, ready for immediate use. It eliminates the operating room preparation, post-procedure cleaning, and reprocessing required for traditional reusable scopes. Each device is newly sterilized for each patient, ensuring reliable image quality and smooth workflow. The system also includes Pristine Connect software, which facilitates cloud storage of surgical images and automated inventory management.
In July 2024, KKR and Co. Inc., a US-based private equity firm, acquired Healthium Medtech Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to transform Healthium from a domestic suture manufacturer into a global leader in medical devices. The deal provides a controlling interest in Healthium, enhancing its portfolio of wound closure products and enabling expansion into areas such as arthroscopy and advanced wound care through in-house R&D and strategic acquisitions. Healthium Medtech Ltd. is an India-based healthcare company specializing in advanced medical technologies, including arthroscopy devices and equipment.
