The global surgical navigation systems market is expected to reach USD 906.8 Million by 2021 from USD 662.5 Million in 2016, at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period (2016–2021). Growth of this market is primarily driven by factors such as the rising adoption of minimally invasive surgical procedures; growing number of regulatory approvals, and partnerships, agreements, and collaborations among market players; increasing incidence of orthopedic and neurological disorders; and high prevalence of ENT disorders. However, the high cost of surgical navigation systems and product recalls are likely to create a negative impact on the growth of this market.
The market is categorized on the basis of technology, application, patient care setting, and region. Based on technology, the market is categorized into optical navigation systems, electromagnetic (EM) navigation systems and hybrid navigation systems. The optical navigation systems segment is poised to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to its advantages over EM systems such as reduced radiation exposure and accuracy provided during complex surgeries, which enable surgeons to navigate properly through a patient’s anatomy. In addition to this, rise in awareness regarding the advantages of optical systems are also influencing the growth of the market.
