General Surgery Devices Market

Market Overview:

The global general surgery devices market size reached USD 17.5 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 36.0 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.96% during 2025-2033. The increasing prevalence of different surgical conditions, advancements in surgical techniques, and the rising number of ambulatory centers represent some of the key factors driving the market.

General surgery devices are medical instruments used during surgical procedures to perform various operations on the human body. These devices include surgical scalpels, forceps, scissors, retractors, surgical staplers, suture needles, and sutures. They are made from materials, such as stainless steel, titanium, and plastic, and sterilized and reused multiple times. They ensure the success of surgical procedures and improve patient outcomes by minimizing the risks of infections and complications and improving accuracy and precision. They are employed in minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures, which involve smaller incisions and less tissue damage. At present, general surgery devices find extensive application in hernia repair, appendectomy, gallbladder removal, and colorectal surgeries across the globe.

General Surgery Devices Market Trends:

The growing geriatric population, sedentary lifestyles, and poor dietary patterns are increasing the occurrence of various surgical conditions, such as appendectomy, breast biopsy, carotid endarterectomy, cataract, cesarean section, cholecystectomy, coronary artery bypass, and debridement of wound, burn, or infection. This currently represents one of the key factors catalyzing the demand for general surgery devices across the globe. In addition, the burgeoning healthcare sector, significant advancements in surgical techniques, and the increasing prevalence of ambulatory surgery centers are creating a favorable market outlook. Moreover, various technological advancements, such as miniaturization, robotics, and 3D printing, are contributing to the development of more precise and effective surgical devices. Apart from this, increasing investments in research and development (R&D) activities in surgical oncology, orthopedic surgeries, cardiology, ophthalmology, wound care, neurosurgery, urology, and gynecology are bolstering the growth of the market. Additionally, the growing number of healthcare units and increasing accessibility and affordability of surgical procedures to a wide range of patients are offering lucrative growth opportunities to key market players. Besides this, increase in preference for robotic-assisted surgeries and increasing use of data and analytics for the development of new general surgery devices and improving existing products. In addition, increasing adoption of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), in the manufacturing of more precise and general surgery devices are driving the market worldwide. Furthermore, inflating disposable incomes and favorable reimbursement policies on treatments of various diseases are stimulating the growth of the market across the globe.
