Surgical Instruments Tracking Systems Market Report 2024

The surgical instruments tracking systems market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $181.89 billion in 2023 to $201.01 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. During the historic period, growth was driven by several factors including a heightened emphasis on reducing surgical site infections (SSIs), greater attention to inventory management in healthcare settings, increasing demand for real-time visibility of surgical instruments, the adoption of value-based healthcare approaches, efforts to enhance surgical outcomes and improve patient satisfaction, as well as advancements enabling remote access and monitoring of surgical instruments.

The surgical instruments tracking systems market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $301.24 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. In the forecast period, growth is expected to be driven by several factors including the integration of surgical instrument tracking systems with hospital information systems (HIS), the growing adoption of cloud-based solutions, increased demand for surgeries and procedures, public health initiatives promoting healthcare improvements, and adaptations to regulatory shifts and changes in healthcare policies. Key trends anticipated in this period include the adoption of radio frequency identification (RFID), barcode, and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies within tracking systems, advancements in software functionalities, development of sophisticated sensors, expansion of mobile health solutions and analytics capabilities, as well as ongoing innovation and product development in the field.

The surgical instruments tracking systems market is set to expand due to the increasing number of surgical procedures. These procedures involve the use of instruments to address injuries, diseases, or deformities through manual or operative methods. Growth in surgical procedures is spurred by advancements in medical technology and a rising elderly population requiring more healthcare interventions. Surgical instrument tracking systems enhance operational efficiency and safety by enabling real-time tracking and management of instruments during procedures, thereby reducing the risk of retained surgical items. For example, in 2022, plastic surgeons worldwide performed over 14.9 million surgical and 18.8 million non-surgical procedures, reflecting an 11.2% overall increase, as reported by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). This underscores the driving force behind the surgical instruments tracking systems market's growth.

Key players in the surgical instruments tracking systems market are concentrating on pioneering technologies, including robotic systems, to gain a competitive advantage. Robotic technology involves sophisticated systems equipped with advanced sensors, actuators, and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to autonomously or semi-autonomously execute complex tasks.
