Surgical Microscopes Global Market Report 2024

The surgical microscopes market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.22 billion in 2023 to $1.38 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. The increase observed in the historical period can be attributed to early innovations in imaging technology, the development of pioneering surgical techniques, an initial surge in healthcare demand, the early integration of technology in healthcare settings, and the establishment of foundational regulatory standards.

The surgical microscopes market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.25 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing demand for minimally invasive procedures, advancements in surgical techniques, trends in an aging population, innovation in digital integration, and advancements in optical and lighting technologies. Major trends expected in the forecast period involve increased educational and training needs, growth in healthcare infrastructure, a focus on regulatory compliance, ongoing innovation in optics and lighting, and further integration of technology in surgical microscopy.

The anticipated increase in the number of surgical procedures is set to drive the growth of the surgical microscopes market in the future. Surgical procedures involve medical interventions that include incisions or manipulations of the body's tissues or organs, typically performed for the diagnosis, treatment, or management of medical conditions, injuries, or diseases. Surgical microscopes play a crucial role in operating rooms during various surgical procedures by providing high-resolution, magnified views of the surgical site. For example, in June 2022, the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) reported that the number of bariatric surgeries performed in 2021 increased to around 262,893 from 198,651 in 2020. Hence, the upward trend in surgical procedures is a key driver for the growth of the surgical microscopes market.

The surge in cancer cases is expected to contribute to the growth of the surgical microscope market. Cancer, characterized by the uncontrolled development of abnormal cells that can spread to other parts of the body, is on the rise. The prevalence of various types of cancer is beneficial for the surgical microscopes market as these devices are used in surgical procedures as well as the diagnosis and staging of cancer. In January 2022, the American Cancer Society projected 609,360 cancer deaths and 1.9 million new cancer cases. Additionally, there are expected to be 10,470 pediatric cancer cases in 2022, with 5,480 teenagers predicted to receive cancer diagnoses in 2023. Therefore, the increasing incidence of various types of cancer is a significant driver for the surgical microscope market.

The high cost of advanced surgical or operating microscopes is anticipated to impede the growth of the surgical microscope market during the forecast period. Technological advancements have led to the development of more sophisticated and expensive surgical microscopes, posing a barrier to their adoption in healthcare facilities, especially in developing countries or those with limited healthcare budgets. For instance, a high-configuration microscope designed for dental applications, as reported by Vakker Dental Inc., has a sale price of $2,200.00 (£1,617.00) and a regular price of $3,000.00 (£2,202.00). Consequently, the elevated cost of advanced surgical or operating microscopes is hindering the growth of the surgical microscope market.

Leading companies in the surgical microscope market are actively innovating to enhance their market profitability by introducing novel products such as the 2ZL BG Slit Lamp Microscope. The 2ZL BG Slit Lamp Microscope, launched by Takagi Seiko Co. Ltd. in May 2022, is a straightforward and practical slit lamp designed to offer high-level performance and usability, coupled with sleek, functional aesthetics. This microscope aids doctors in recording surgical images and provides enhanced protection with a large breather shield. It proves beneficial for ophthalmologists requiring high-quality imaging capabilities. The 2ZL BG Slit Lamp Microscope is part of the surgical microscopes market, which is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years.

In August 2022, Bausch & Lomb Incorporated, a Canada-based manufacturer of eye health products, entered into a collaboration with Munich Surgical Imaging GmbH. This collaboration aims to integrate the latest Munich Surgical Imaging GmbH (MSI) platform designed specifically for the ophthalmology field. The partnership facilitates the merging of MSI's image guidance expertise with Bausch & Lomb's surgical strengths. Munich Surgical Imaging GmbH is a Germany-based manufacturer of surgical microscopes and digital microscopy.
