The arthroscopic visualization instruments market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.4 billion in 2024 to $2.55 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased awareness and patient demand, increased awareness of joint health, increased demand for arthroscopic procedures, improvements in light sources and fiber optics, and increased emphasis on training programs.

The arthroscopic visualization instruments market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.23 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of healthcare infrastructure, government initiatives, a shift towards outpatient surgeries, international health initiatives, and regulatory frameworks. Major trends in the forecast period include miniaturization and portability, advanced biocompatible materials, enhanced ergonomics and user experience, enhanced fluid management systems, and quantitative imaging biomarkers.

The increasing number of knee implant patients is expected to drive the growth of the handheld arthroscopic instrument market. Knee implant patients are individuals who have had knee replacement surgery and now have artificial knee joints, or prostheses, implanted. This rise in knee implant patients is attributed to factors such as increasing obesity rates, advancements in surgical techniques, higher lifestyle expectations, longer life expectancy, high patient satisfaction, and improvements in implant technology. As the number of knee implant patients grows, there is a greater demand for handheld arthroscopic instruments, which offer minimally invasive surgical options that improve precision and recovery times in orthopedic procedures. For example, a report by the Canadian Institute for Health Information in 2023 indicated that there were 8,942 knee replacement diagnoses in 2021-2022, up from 8,548 in 2020-2021. The largest demographic was patients aged 65-74, comprising 41.2% of females and 42.3% of males. Thus, the increase in knee implant patients is driving the demand for handheld arthroscopic instruments.

Leading companies in the arthroscopic visualization instruments market are focusing on creating innovative solutions such as single-use arthroscopes to enhance patient safety, minimize infection risks, and provide cost-effective alternatives to reusable devices. Single-use arthroscopes are designed for one-time use, reducing the risk of infection and eliminating the need for sterilization between procedures. For instance, in November 2023, Pristine Surgical, a U.S.-based medical technology manufacturer, introduced the Summit 4K single-use surgical arthroscope in the U.S. This device features a sterile, single-use design that removes the need for reprocessing, thereby reducing infection risks, and provides high-definition 4K imaging for improved surgical visualization.

In January 2023, AA Medical, a U.S.-based provider of sustainable solutions for medical device equipment, formed a partnership with Certified Endoscopy Products LLC. This collaboration aims to establish a leading medical device reprocessing company, enhancing service offerings, expanding market reach, and improving access to high-quality medical devices for healthcare providers. Certified Endoscopy Products LLC is a U.S.-based company specializing in the reprocessing of arthroscopic visualization instruments.

Arthroscopic visualization instruments are medical devices designed to view and examine the interior of joints through small incisions. They include a fiber-optic camera and specialized lenses, facilitating minimally invasive diagnostics and treatments. Their main function is to offer a clear, detailed view of the joint's interior, enabling surgeons to perform accurate procedures with minimal impact on surrounding tissues.

The key types of arthroscopic visualization products include arthroscopic implants, arthroscopes, visualization systems, motorized shavers, fluid management systems, and radiofrequency devices. Arthroscopic implants, such as screws, anchors, and suture implants, are used during surgery to repair or replace damaged joints. These tools are applicable in various procedures, including knee, hip, and shoulder arthroscopies, and are used by hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and other healthcare facilities.
