Global surgical robots market is valued approximately USD 3.6 billion in 2017 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 10.4 % over the forecast period 2018-2025. Technological advancements in surgical robots and increasing need for automation in healthcare industry are some key trends that are responsible for the wide adoption of surgical robots globally.
Global surgical robots market is majorly driven by increasing funding for surgical robot researchers. According to the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) in 2018, the research foundation of the ASCRS has raised funds to support research an educational program related to rectal and colon diseases. Also, the Research Foundation has awarded over 120 grants around $4 million to colorectal researchers to investigate and develop a broad spectrum of colorectal diseases and develop novel robot surgical techniques for colorectal surgery patients. Through this funding, research in Robotic Surgical Technology Grant offers an opportunity to track research interest, specifically in robotic surgical technology in the field of rectal and colon surgery. As a result, the demand & adoption of surgical robots would increase thereby, aiding the growth of the market over the forecast period of 2018-2025. However, high cost associated with surgical robotic procedures and increase in injuries are major factors that impede the growth of the surgical robots market over the forecast period.
