The remote surgery market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $6.2 billion in 2024 to $7.34 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to improvement in telecommunication infrastructure, globalization of healthcare services, increased demand for specialty surgical expertise, collaboration between surgeons and technology developers, rising healthcare costs and need for efficiency, government initiatives for healthcare accessibility.

The remote surgery market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.91 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to global health crisis preparedness, focus on rural and underserved healthcare, integration with artificial intelligence (ai), training and skill development initiatives, international collaboration in healthcare services. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in robotics and telecommunication, increased accessibility and connectivity, rising demand for minimally invasive procedures, integration of artificial intelligence (ai), surge in telesurgery training programs.

The increasing number of surgeries worldwide is expected to drive the growth of the remote surgery market in the coming years. Surgery is a medical field that involves using operative techniques to diagnose, investigate, and treat various conditions and diseases. The growing volume of surgeries is a key factor propelling the advancement and adoption of remote surgery. These surgeries are increasingly performed by surgeons because they offer greater precision, better visualization, and shorter recovery times. For example, in August 2023, The Aesthetic Society, a US-based organization in plastic surgery and cosmetic medicine, reported that Americans spent over $11.8 billion on aesthetic procedures, reflecting a 2% increase from the previous year. Moreover, according to Austin Publishing Group, a US-based publisher, the global healthcare system conducts more than 300 million major surgeries annually. As a result, the rising number of surgeries worldwide is fueling the expansion of the remote surgery market.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to accelerate the growth of the remote surgery market in the future. Chronic diseases are long-term conditions that can typically be managed but not cured. They persist for a year or more and require continuous medical care, limiting daily activities or both. Remote surgery is becoming an important tool in managing chronic diseases, enabling experienced surgeons to perform procedures remotely, increasing access to specialized care, and alleviating the burden on patients with chronic conditions. For instance, in February 2024, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental agency, projected that by 2050, more than 35 million new cancer cases would be reported, a 77% increase compared to the 20 million cases expected in 2022. Therefore, the rise in chronic diseases is contributing to the growth of the remote surgery market.

Major companies in the remote surgery market are concentrating on technological advancements, specifically in robotic platforms. These platforms aim to enhance the precision and accuracy of procedures while ensuring safety. An example of this is Robocath SAS, a France-based developer of robotic solutions and systems, which introduced the 'R-One+ robotic platform' in May 2023 for heart surgery. The R-One+ platform is designed to make coronary angioplasty safer and more efficient. It allows cardiologists to control devices remotely from the operation facility's control room, reducing the risk of injuries caused by radiation. The platform incorporates safety features such as collision detection and avoidance, as well as force feedback, to prevent collisions between the robotic arm, patients, and other surgical instruments.

In August 2024, Karl Storz, a Germany-based medical instrument company, acquired Asensus Surgical for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, KARL STORZ aims to solidify its presence in the robotic and digital surgical market by utilizing Asensus Surgical's advanced technologies and expertise to improve surgical outcomes and drive innovation in healthcare. Asensus Surgical is a US-based medical device company that specializes in digital solutions for operating rooms, including remote surgery.
