Medical Automation Market Trends



  • Increasing demand for more efficient healthcare systems to boost the market growth


The growing demand for more efficient healthcare systems is one of the major drivers for medical automation. Medical automation technology such as robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning can assist healthcare providers in streamlining procedures, reducing errors, and improving patient outcomes.


Surgery is one area where medical automation is becoming increasingly popular. Robotic surgical systems, for example, have grown in popularity in recent years because they provide numerous advantages over traditional surgical approaches. These systems provide higher precision, less invasive operations, and quicker patient recovery times. In recent years, the number of robotic surgical procedures has rapidly increased. According to Definitive Healthcare's estimate, the number of surgical robotic procedures conducted in the United States increased by 27% between 2018 and 2019, from about 878,000 to 1.1 million procedures. According to the data, robotic surgical procedures accounted for almost 15% of all surgical procedures conducted in the United States in 2019. This is a considerable rise from 1% in 2012, demonstrating the expanding use of robotic surgical technologies in healthcare.


Diagnostic testing is another area where medical automation is gaining pace. Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms can assist healthcare providers in analyzing massive volumes of medical data and identifying patterns that may suggest the presence of a certain disease or condition. This can result in early detection and treatment, improving patient outcomes and lowering healthcare expenditures. Such factors have enhanced the Medical Automation market CAGR across the globe in recent years, which is driving Medical Automation market revenue.
