Single-Use Arthroscopes Market Global Report 2026

The single-use arthroscopes market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.16 billion in 2025 to $1.29 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the emergence of arthroscopic minimally invasive surgical techniques, rising prevalence of sports-related injuries, strengthening of infection control standards in healthcare facilities, expansion of orthopedic surgical interventions, and increased use of reusable arthroscopy systems.

The single-use arthroscopes market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.99 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for outpatient surgical procedures, expansion of ambulatory surgical centers, increasing focus on infection prevention and patient safety, growth in the use of disposable medical devices, and advancements in high-definition imaging technologies in orthopedic surgery. Major trends in the forecast period include AI-assisted arthroscopic imaging systems for improved surgical visualization and accuracy, integration of single-use sterile arthroscopes to reduce hospital-acquired infections, development of high-definition disposable arthroscope optics for enhanced joint diagnostics, increasing adoption of minimally invasive orthopedic procedures driving demand for disposable devices, and cloud-connected surgical visualization platforms enabling real-time procedure data sharing and training.

The increasing prevalence of sports injuries is expected to propel the growth of the single-use arthroscopes market going forward. Sports injuries refer to physical injuries or damage to muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, or joints that occur during participation in sports, exercise, or other athletic activities due to overuse, impact, improper technique, or accidents. The increasing prevalence of sports injuries is due to the rising participation in sports and fitness activities, as more people engaging in physical exercise and competitive sports leads to a higher risk of strains, sprains, fractures, and other activity-related injuries. Single-use arthroscopes enhance the treatment of sports injuries by enabling minimally invasive, sterile, and efficient joint diagnostic and surgical procedures, improving patient outcomes and reducing the risk of cross-contamination. For instance, in July 2024, according to the National Safety Council, a US-based nonprofit organization, the number of sports and recreational injuries increased by 12% in 2022, 2% in 2023, and 17% in 2024, with approximately 4.4 million people receiving emergency medical treatment in 2024. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of sports injuries is driving the growth of the single-use arthroscopes market.

Key companies operating in the single-use arthroscopes market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as advanced disposable arthroscopic imaging systems, to enhance surgical visualization and reduce the risk of cross-contamination during minimally invasive procedures. Advanced disposable arthroscopic imaging systems are single-use visualization devices equipped with high-definition imaging and integrated lighting technologies that enable surgeons to perform minimally invasive joint procedures while minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and eliminating the need for reprocessing. For example, in August 2023, Integrated Endoscopy Inc., a US-based medical technology company, launched two new NUVIS single-use, 4K, cordless arthroscopes, advanced disposable arthroscopic imaging systems designed to enhance surgical visualization and improve procedural efficiency in minimally invasive orthopedic procedures. The device offers high-definition 4K imaging, cordless operation for greater flexibility, and compatibility with a wide range of arthroscopic cannulas. It ensures consistent performance in every procedure, improves workflow efficiency, and minimizes downtime in operating rooms. This advancement highlights the growing shift toward high-performance, disposable arthroscopy solutions in modern healthcare.

In January 2024, Integrated Endoscopy Inc., a US-based medical technology company, formed a partnership with Frii Medical to commercialize a wireless, single-use shaver system for arthroscopic procedures. This collaboration aims to advance minimally invasive surgical techniques by integrating Frii Medical’s cordless, battery-powered shaver technology with Integrated Endoscopy’s single-use arthroscopy ecosystem, enabling improved operating room efficiency and reducing sterilization requirements. Fresenius Medical Care AG And Co. KGaA is a Germany-based medical device company specializing in advanced surgical power tools and wireless orthopedic technologies.
