Europe Surgical Equipment Market Share

Europe, the Middle East & Africa Surgical Equipment Market Scenario:

The Europe, the Middle East & Africa Surgical Equipment MArket is expected to reach USD 2.7 Billion by 2032 at CAGR 5.6% during the forecast period 2023-2032.

A surgical equipment is a designed tool or device that is used to carry out various procedures during a surgery with the desired effects of modifying biological tissues and to provide access for viewing it. On the basis of utilisation, some of the surgical equipment can be specifically designed to carry out specific surgeries while the others are designed for the general surgery procedures. Increasing global burden of the diseases like Parkinson’s, cardiovascular, cancer, and others followed by growing geriatric population and rising healthcare expenditures facilitates the market growth during the forecast period.

In 2017, according to the World Health Organisation, cancer was the second leading global cause of deaths, and was responsible for about 8.8 million deaths in 2015. Moreover, it was established that ~70% of the deaths due to cancer occur in low- and middle-income countries. In 2015, according to the National Statistics, in U.K the healthcare spending reached USD 271.6 billion in 2015 from USD 262.2 billion in 2014 with a rate of 3.6%. However, high cost of the devices, shortage of skilled labour and strict regulatory policies are the major restraints for the market.

The EMEA surgical instrument market is expected to grow at an approximate CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period.

Regional Analysis

Europe is the second largest surgical equipment market. Availability of funds for research, huge patient population and government support for research & development drives the European market. According to the Macmillan Cancer Support in 2014, 357 million people in the U.K are diagnosed with cancer every year. Moreover, by 2020 it is estimated that almost one in two people (47%) will get cancer at some point in their lives. 

On the other hand, the Middle East & Africa has the least share in the surgical equipment market due to presence of poor economy especially in Africa region which have low per capita income. Moreover, stringent government policies restrains the growth of the market in the African region. Majority of the market of this region is held by the Middle East due to a well-developed healthcare sector and huge healthcare expenditure.
