Laparoscopic Instruments Market Report 2025

The laparoscopic instruments market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $13.48 billion in 2024 to $14.72 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing number of trained surgeons, the rising number of ambulatory surgical centers and specialty clinics, growing government initiatives and favorable reimbursement policies, higher patient preference for procedures with less postoperative pain and scarring, and increasing awareness among patients and healthcare providers.

The laparoscopic instruments market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.68 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising demand for outpatient surgical procedures, growing focus on reducing hospital stays, increasing adoption of single-incision laparoscopic surgery, the rising number of minimally invasive surgeries, and the expanding availability of laparoscopic training programs. Key trends expected during the forecast period include advancements in robotic-assisted laparoscopic instruments, integration of advanced imaging technologies, development of miniaturized laparoscopic tools, improvements in energy systems and electrosurgical devices, and incorporation of smart sensors and feedback mechanisms.

The rising number of minimally invasive surgeries is expected to drive the growth of the laparoscopic instruments market going forward. Minimally invasive surgeries are medical procedures performed through small incisions using specialized instruments, resulting in less tissue damage, reduced pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. The demand for these procedures is increasing as patients seek quicker recovery, smaller incisions, and less postoperative discomfort. Laparoscopic instruments enable surgeons to perform precise operations through small openings with improved visualization and control. For instance, in June 2024, according to the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN), a UK-based independent, not-for-profit organization, 22,700 robot-assisted procedures were performed in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting a 45% increase compared to the same period in 2023. Therefore, the growing prevalence of minimally invasive surgeries is propelling the growth of the laparoscopic instruments market.

Prominent companies in the laparoscopic instruments market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as wristed articulating instruments to improve surgical precision and enhance minimally invasive procedures. Wristed articulating instruments are specialized surgical tools featuring a wrist-like joint that provides greater flexibility and range of motion, allowing surgeons to perform highly precise movements during minimally invasive procedures. For instance, in October 2024, LivsMed Inc., a US-based medical device design and manufacturing company, launched the ArtiSential 5, the first 5 mm wristed articulating laparoscopic instrument series available on the market. This product line offers improved ergonomics, tactile feedback, and enhanced flexibility, enabling surgeons to carry out procedures with greater accuracy and control. Its compact size reduces incision size, shortens recovery time, and lowers surgical costs, making advanced wristed articulation accessible in operating rooms with or without robotic systems.

In March 2025, Lohmann & Rauscher Group, a US-based medical device and hygiene products manufacturer, acquired Unisurge International Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Lohmann & Rauscher aims to strengthen its presence in the UK surgical market and expand its hospital and operating room product portfolio. Unisurge International Ltd is a UK-based company specializing in the manufacturing of laparoscopic instruments, including scissors, graspers, and dissectors.

Major players in the laparoscopic instruments market are Johnson And Johnson, Medtronic plc, Fujifilm Holdings Corporation, Stryker Corporation, Intuitive Surgical Inc., Hoya Corporation, Smith And Nephew plc, Steris plc, Teleflex Incorporated, Karl Storz SE And Co.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.

Laparoscopic instruments are specialized surgical tools designed for minimally invasive procedures, enabling surgeons to operate through small incisions using a laparoscope for visual guidance. These instruments allow precise manipulation of tissues and organs while minimizing trauma, reducing recovery time, and lowering the risk of complications.

The primary products of laparoscopic instruments include laparoscopes, energy systems, trocars, closure devices, suction and irrigation devices, insufflation devices, robot-assisted systems, and hand access instruments. Laparoscopes are thin, tube-like instruments equipped with a light and camera, inserted through small incisions to provide surgeons with visual access to internal organs during procedures. They are made from materials such as stainless steel, plastic, flexible materials, and optical fiber. Key technologies in this field include conventional laparoscopy, robotic-assisted laparoscopy, single-incision laparoscopy, and advanced visualization systems. These instruments are applied in general surgery, gynecological surgery, colorectal surgery, bariatric surgery, and other procedures, serving end users including hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, specialty clinics, research laboratories, and academic institutions.
