The digital laparoscopy market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.09 billion in 2025 to $3.36 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to reliance on conventional open surgeries, limited availability of digital imaging systems, high cost of laparoscopic equipment, low adoption of robotic-assisted procedures, lack of standardized training programs.
The digital laparoscopy market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.62 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancement in 3D and wireless camera technologies, growing preference for minimally invasive surgery, increasing investment in robotic laparoscopy, adoption of ar/vr-assisted surgical systems, expansion of laparoscopic procedures in emerging markets. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of minimally invasive surgical procedures, rising demand for high-definition and 3D laparoscopy cameras, integration of augmented reality and virtual reality in surgery, expansion of laparoscopic procedures across multiple specialties, focus on workflow efficiency and real-time imaging in operating rooms.
The rising demand for minimally invasive surgeries is expected to drive the growth of the digital laparoscopy market in the coming years. Minimally invasive surgeries, performed through small incisions with specialized instruments, reduce pain, recovery time, and scarring compared to traditional open surgeries. Their growing popularity stems from reduced tissue injury, faster recovery, less postoperative pain, and shorter hospital stays. Digital laparoscopy enhances these procedures by offering precise, real-time visualization and AI-driven surgical guidance, improving accuracy, reducing complications, and accelerating patient recovery. For example, in June 2024, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reported that out of nearly 1.6 million cosmetic surgical procedures performed in 2023, liposuction accounted for 347,782 procedures, a 7% increase from 2022 highlighting the rising preference for minimally invasive interventions, which is fueling the digital laparoscopy market.
Companies in the digital laparoscopy market are focusing on AI-powered laparoscopic and robotic-assisted solutions to enhance surgical precision, control, and patient outcomes. These systems use artificial intelligence to guide robotic instruments, optimize real-time decision-making, and provide detailed postoperative analysis. For instance, in April 2024, Medtronic plc, an Ireland-based healthcare technology company, introduced Touch Surgery Live Stream, which broadcasts laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures securely in real-time across more than 20 countries for remote surgical training and collaboration. Its upgraded Touch Surgery Performance Insights platform leverages 14 AI-driven algorithms to analyze surgical videos, offering insights into workflow, instrument utilization, and anatomical identification.
In August 2024, KARL STORZ, a Germany-based manufacturer of endoscopes, surgical devices, and medical instruments, acquired Asensus Surgical Inc., a US-based company offering digital laparoscopy through its Senhance surgical system. This acquisition enables KARL STORZ to establish a surgical robotics hub, combining Asensus Surgical’s advanced technology and expertise to expand its robotic and digital surgery portfolio, enhancing surgical precision and promoting safer, more effective patient outcomes.
