Disposable Laparoscopic Instrument Global Market Report 2025

The disposable laparoscopic instrument market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.83 billion in 2024 to $4.08 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth during the historic period is driven by the increasing adoption of minimally invasive surgeries, rising healthcare spending in emerging markets, the growing number of ambulatory surgical centers, heightened risk of cross-contamination with reusable instruments, and surgeons’ increasing preference for single-use devices.

The disposable laparoscopic instrument market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.22 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth projected during the forecast period is attributed to a stronger focus on infection prevention in hospitals, increasing demand for outpatient laparoscopic procedures, a rising incidence of obesity and related surgeries, growing popularity of outpatient and day-care surgeries, and a preference for low-maintenance surgical instruments. Key trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in miniaturization technology, a growing preference for single-use devices over reusable ones, integration of electrosurgical functions, compatibility with digital imaging systems, and innovations in modular disposable systems.

The increasing use of minimally invasive surgeries is anticipated to drive the growth of the disposable laparoscopic instrument market in the coming years. Minimally invasive surgery involves performing procedures through small incisions with the help of specialized instruments and cameras, aiming to minimize tissue damage and support faster recovery. This growing preference is largely due to these surgeries' ability to notably shorten patient recovery times, resulting in quicker healing and reduced hospital stays. Disposable laparoscopic instruments support these procedures by offering sterile, single-use tools that lower the risk of infection and enhance surgical accuracy, contributing to improved recovery outcomes. For example, in June 2024, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons - a nonprofit organization based in the U.S. - reported a 7% rise in minimally invasive procedures in 2023, surpassing the growth rate of surgical procedures by 2%. As a result, the increasing adoption of minimally invasive surgeries continues to fuel the demand for disposable laparoscopic instruments.

Leading companies in the disposable laparoscopic instrument market are prioritizing the development of technologically advanced products, such as articulating laparoscopic instruments, to improve precision and access during minimally invasive surgeries. These articulating instruments are surgical tools equipped with flexible, jointed tips that enable surgeons to bend and rotate the instruments within the body, enhancing both access and accuracy in minimally invasive procedures. For example, in October 2024, LivsMed Inc., a South Korea-based company specializing in minimally invasive surgical technologies, introduced ArtiSential 5 - the world’s first 5mm wristed articulating laparoscopic instrument series. This innovative product line features a 5mm shaft, which is 40% smaller than the earlier 8mm version, facilitating smaller incisions and improved surgical site visibility. The double-jointed end effectors provide synchronized wrist-like movement, increasing precision and delivering better tactile feedback during surgeries. These instruments are lightweight, ergonomically balanced, and compatible with all laparoscopic and robotic ports, offering enhanced flexibility and potential cost efficiency.

In April 2025, Lohmann & Rauscher Group, a medical technology company based in Germany, acquired Unisurge International Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to reinforce Lohmann & Rauscher Group’s presence in the UK healthcare sector by broadening its range of surgical products and improving service offerings to hospitals. Unisurge International Ltd. is a UK-based manufacturer of medical devices, specializing in the production of disposable laparoscopic instruments.

A disposable laparoscopic instrument is a single-use surgical device intended for minimally invasive procedures and discarded after one use to prevent contamination and infection. These tools are specifically designed for laparoscopic surgery, enabling surgeons to carry out precise internal operations through small incisions.

The main categories of disposable laparoscopic instruments include trocars, graspers, scissors, forceps, staplers, electrosurgical devices, suction and irrigation tools, clip appliers, and other specialized equipment. A trocar is a sharp surgical instrument used to create an entry point for inserting laparoscopic tools during minimally invasive surgeries. These instruments are frequently utilized in general surgery, gynecology, urology, bariatric surgery, and other procedures. The primary users of these products are hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and specialty clinics.
