Medical robots are the new technological devices in the medical
science field that help in performing surgeries with more ease. These
are also known as telemanipulators which function according to the
instruction of the surgeon. Medical robots are becoming a regular member
of the medical staff across the globe, taking a patient’s pulse,
scanning vital signs, taking pictures, and even reading case notes.
Medical robots are also available with wheels that help in transporting
things and are controlled by using joysticks. Robotics in medical helps
to communicate the need, progress, and outcome of patient data and forms
an important part of digital health technology. Also, robotics in
medical incorporates visual indicators of performance in order to
encourage the surgeon to have optimal performance during surgeries.
However, new developments in computer technology and medical devices are
enhancing the vision, precision, and control on surgery. These are
likely to drive the demand for medical robots during surgical procedures
in the near future.
Growth of the global medical robots market is driven by rapid
development in technology, increase in funding for research in robotics
for medical by health care companies, rising patient preference for
minimally invasive surgeries, and adverse effects associated with the
use of conventional diagnostic methods. According to an article
published in the journal “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery”, in 2017,
the use of daVinci Surgical Robotic System in a robotic-assisted
laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been widely implemented in many
surgical specialties – from cardiac surgery to gynecology. In the U.S.
80% of radical prostatectomies are now being performed using robotics.
Rising prevalence of accidents leading to pelvic, ankle, or other
surgeries is expected to drive the medical robots market during the
forecast period. Furthermore, rising incidence of hospital acquired
infections (HAIs) is another major factor which can positively influence
the use of robots in hospitals in the near future. According to the
Robotic Tomorrow Magazine, 2018, in North America 20% of the attempts to
draw blood from veins fails on the first try. There are more than 36
million IV insertions in a year and 170,000 cases of adverse effects
occur due to mislabeled blood samples. These errors can be reduced by
using real-time vein viewing systems in hospitals and clinics. However,
long regulatory approval time, rise in expenditure on research &
development, high cost of devices and their maintenance, and lack of
awareness are anticipated to restrain the growth of the medical robots
market during the forecast period.
The medical robots market can be segmented based on product type,
application, end-user, and geography. In terms of product type, the
medical robots market can be classified into medical robotic systems and
instruments & accessories. The medical robotic systems segment can
be further segmented to surgical robots, rehabilitation robots, and
non-invasive radiosurgery robots. In terms of application, the medical
robots market can be divided into laparoscopy, pharmaceuticals, and
others. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the
U.S. is likely to face a shortage of around 90,000 doctors by 2020, as
the practicing doctors attain retirement, thereby creating a space for
medical robots in hospitals and clinics in the next few years. In terms
of end-user, the medical robots market can be classified into diagnostic
laboratories, life sciences and research & development, clinics,
hospitals, and others.
Geographically, the medical robots market can be segmented into North
America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East &
Africa. North America dominates the global medical robots market due to
advantages offered by robot-assisted training in rehabilitation therapy,
sophisticated lifestyle of people, and high per capita health care
expenditure made by the government. Early-phase diagnosis and surgery
for diseases is driving the medical biotechnology and pharmaceutical
market, which in turn, is expected to drive the medical robots market in
North America. Europe is the second leading market for medical robots
due to favorable government policies regarding health care
infrastructure, high incidence of chronic diseases due to environmental
conditions, and growing awareness programs regarding hospital acquired
infections. The medical robots market in Asia Pacific is expected to
grow at a significant rate due to growing population, rising incidence
of accidents leading to surgery, changing lifestyle of people,
increasing awareness about robotic surgery, high per capita expenditure,
and rise in air pollution level and other environmental conditions. In
addition, economic growth in countries, such as, India and China in Asia
Pacific and Brazil in Latin America has supported the development of
health care infrastructure in these countries, creating growth
opportunities for the medical robots market during the forecast period.
Major players operating in the global medical robots market include EKSO Bionics, Hansen Medical (Auris Surgical Robotics), Intuitive Surgical, Stryker Corporation, Mazor Robotics, Kirby Lester, Omnicell, AND Arxium.
