India Surgical Instruments Market

India Surgical Instruments Market Overview:

The India surgical instruments market size reached USD 815.90 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,635.72 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.40% during 2025-2033. The market is growing as a result of expanding healthcare infrastructure investment, growing surgical interventions, and developments in minimally invasive technologies. Furthermore, the increase in the prevalence of chronic conditions, government initiatives towards affordable care, and demand for precision tools are fueling market growth. Medical tourism and technological advances are also propelling market growth.

India Surgical Instruments Market Trends:

Adoption of Minimally Invasive and Robotic-Assisted Surgeries

There is a growing demand for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in India because of its advantages in minimizing hospitalization, recovery period, and complications post procedure. Robotic-assisted surgical procedures are being adopted on an increasing scale across specialties such as orthopedic, cardiology, and oncology owing to greater precision and efficiency. Robotic surgery centers and hospitals are making a high-end investment in surgical robots for better patient care with improved outcome, attributed to growing awareness and access to robot-assisted treatment. For instance, in January 2025, Prashanth Hospitals in Chennai launched the Institute of Robotic Surgery along with an indigenously developed surgical robotic system for minimally invasive procedures. The hospital aims to enhance patient recovery, reduce pain, and minimize blood loss through advanced robotic-assisted surgeries. This initiative highlights India's growing adoption of robotic surgery, improving accessibility to advanced healthcare technologies while strengthening the country’s medical infrastructure and innovation capabilities. The integration of AI and real-time imaging technologies is further advancing this segment. As surgical techniques continue evolving, the demand for specialized instruments designed for minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures is expected to increase, influencing the future of surgical instrument manufacturing and procurement in India.

Increasing Localization of Surgical Instrument Manufacturing

India has traditionally relied on imported surgical instruments, but recent trends indicate a shift toward domestic manufacturing. Government initiatives such as Make in India and the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme are encouraging local production, reducing dependence on imports while ensuring cost-effective, high-quality instruments. For instance, in November 2024, the Indian government launched a ₹500 crore scheme to boost the medical device industry, focusing on manufacturing, skill development, clinical studies, infrastructure, and industry promotion. The scheme, running until 2026-27, includes funding for medical device clusters, testing facilities, and incentives for domestic production. India's USD 14 Billion medical device market is projected to reach USD 30 Billion by 2030, supported by exports and reduced import dependence. Several Indian manufacturers are focusing on precision engineering and regulatory compliance, aligning with global standards such as ISO 13485 and CE certifications. Additionally, collaborations between public and private sectors are fostering innovation in customized surgical tools for local healthcare needs. The shift towards local manufacturing is expected to strengthen the supply chain, enhance affordability, and improve accessibility to advanced surgical instruments across India’s growing healthcare network.
