The arthroscopy devices and equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.69 billion in 2024 to $6.07 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to orthopedic conditions prevalence, minimally invasive surgery, aging population, sports medicine.

The arthroscopy devices and equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.4 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to emerging markets growth, regulatory support and reimbursement, telehealth and remote consultation, value-based healthcare. Major trends in the forecast period include augmented reality (ar) and virtual reality (vr), 3d imaging and printing, artificial intelligence (ai), sustainable practices.

The growth in the older population is anticipated to be a significant driver of the arthroscopy devices and equipment market in the foreseeable future. The elderly population is more susceptible to various orthopedic conditions, including arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. With an increasing number of individuals transitioning into the older age group, there is a higher likelihood of developing conditions like osteoarthritis and other joint ailments, often necessitating arthroscopic procedures for diagnosis and treatment. For instance, in October 2022, according to the World Health Organization, a specialized health agency based in the United States, it is projected that globally, one in six individuals will be aged 60 or older by 2030. Furthermore, by 2050, the number of individuals in this age group is expected to double, reaching 2.1 billion. Consequently, the growing elderly population is poised to be a driving force for the arthroscopy devices and equipment market in the forecast period.

The projected growth of the arthroscopy devices and equipment market is strongly tied to the increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Musculoskeletal disorders encompass a group of medical conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, which involves muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissues necessary for movement and support in the body. Arthroscopy devices and equipment play a vital role in diagnosing and treating various musculoskeletal conditions by enabling physicians to visualize the interior of joints and assess the extent of damage or disease. For instance, in December 2022, according to Osteopaths For Industry Ltd., a UK-based company specializing in musculoskeletal injury prevention training and consultancy services, there were 477,000 reported cases of work-related musculoskeletal disorders for the period 2021-2022. Moreover, in July 2022, the World Health Organization, an intergovernmental organization based in the United States, reported that approximately 1.71 billion people were affected by musculoskeletal disorders. Hence, the increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders is a key driver behind the growth of the arthroscopy devices and equipment market.

Major players in the arthroscopy devices and equipment market are prioritizing the development of innovative solutions, such as Single-Use, 4K, Battery Operated Cordless Arthroscopes, to improve surgical precision, enhance patient outcomes, reduce infection risks, and offer greater flexibility and convenience during minimally invasive procedures. A Single-Use, 4K, Battery Operated Cordless Arthroscope is a medical device used in minimally invasive joint surgeries, providing high-definition, real-time imaging for surgeons. For example, in November 2022, Integrated Endoscopy, a U.S.-based medical device manufacturer, launched the Gen II NUVIS Single-Use, 4K, Battery Operated Cordless Arthroscope. This advanced device marks a significant innovation in arthroscopic surgery by addressing the limitations of traditional reusable arthroscopes, offering superior image quality and improved operational efficiency.

Major companies in the arthroscopy devices and equipment market are focusing on technological advancements in 3D visualization systems, which provide high-definition, real-time imaging to enhance surgical precision. These systems allow surgeons to view joint structures in greater detail, improving patient outcomes and reducing recovery times. 3D visualization systems offer enhanced clarity, enabling more accurate analysis and understanding of complex data and structures in fields such as medicine and engineering. For example, in September 2022, Olympus Corporation, a Japan-based manufacturer, launched the VISERA Elite III Surgical Visualization Platform. This platform enhances endoscopic procedures by integrating multiple observation modes and imaging functions for various medical disciplines. Leveraging advanced imaging technology, it supports minimally invasive therapies, such as laparoscopic colectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. With the ability to accommodate future software upgrades and customizable configurations, the VISERA Elite III reduces investment costs while improving surgical outcomes for healthcare professionals.

In July 2024, KKR & Co. Inc., a US-based private equity firm, acquired Healthium Medtech Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to transform Healthium from a domestic suture player into a global leader in medical devices. By taking a controlling interest in Healthium, KKR intends to expand its portfolio of wound closure devices and venture into new areas such as arthroscopy and advanced wound care through in-house R&D and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Healthium Medtech Ltd., an Indian-based healthcare company, is focused on producing advanced medical technologies, including arthroscopy devices and equipment.

Arthroscopy devices and equipment are essential tools used in arthroscopic procedures, which are minimally invasive and primarily employed for diagnosing and treating joint issues like torn cartilage, ACL injuries, and sports-related joint injuries in various body parts including the hip, knee, shoulder, spine, ankle, wrist, and elbow.

The primary products within the arthroscopy devices and equipment category include arthroscopes, arthroscopy shavers, arthroscopy fluid management systems, arthroscopy radiofrequency systems, visualization systems, and implants.
