The da Vinci systems current market share of 17% is derived from its reported sales of $1.1 billion, and an estimated global surgical robots market size of a little over $6.8 billion in 2018. The da Vinci systems are computer assisted surgical systems that help surgeons perform minimally invasive surgeries by controlling the device from a console. The system has multiple arms that are used to hold operating tools to perform the surgery, along with an endoscopic camera, which enables the surgeons to look inside the body with a 3-D view.

Global Surgical Robots Market Size Is Estimated To Grow In Low Teens

The global surgical robots market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 13.8% to $17 billion by 2025. This growth will likely be led by higher demand for minimally invasive procedures. It is estimated that over one million surgeries were performed using da Vinci systems in 2018, and over six million since its launch.

If da Vinci systems manages to garner 25% market share by 2025 as compared to 17% currently, it will result in incremental sales of over $1.4 billion. This is possible given that the da Vinci system has several advantages over regular surgical procedures. The surgical systems not only provides surgeons with a similar range of motion as the human wrist in the surgical field, it also removes the instability of the human hand. Additionally, these minimally invasive surgeries have the benefits of reduced surgical complications, faster recovery processes, and lower hospitalization costs. Also, these surgical systems have been widely adopted for select procedures, but there are still many for which they have not been adopted. Until a few years back, the most common procedures were prostatectomies and hysterectomies, which accounted for more than 50% of total procedures using da Vinci systems. However other procedures are being adopted at a growing rate and we expect this to continue in the future. A wider range of possible procedures will likely result in greater demand for the company’s systems. Given these factors, da Vinci systems will likely see continued strong growth in the coming years, and garner higher share in the global surgical robots market.
