Electrosurgical Devices Market Insights
The electrosurgical devices market is seeing steady growth, largely driven by advancements
in robotic surgery systems and an expanding range of applications for electrosurgery. Robotic surgery,
now seeing steady adoption across soft and hard tissue applications, is significantly influencing the
electrosurgical landscape, with companies like Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson, and Intuitive Surgical leading the
charge.
Worldwide procedure volume for the Intuitive Surgical da VinciⓇ system increased by 21.9% in 2023 versus 2022,
following an increase of 17.6% from 2020 to 2021, representing substantial growth in comparison to the overall
electrosurgical device market.
Consumables are a major source of revenue for companies that commercialize robotic surgical systems. Robotic
surgery devices—such as electrosurgical forceps compatible with surgical robots—are priced substantially higher
than conventional electrosurgical forceps (~10-fold), resulting in an above-average increase in unit pricing and
driving robust growth in the dollar volume market.
Another important trend is the expansion of electrosurgery into a broader range of general surgeries, including
cholecystectomy, appendectomy, and bariatric surgery. As robotic surgery systems become more advanced, they are
being utilized in a broader range of these high-volume procedures.
Looking ahead, Intuitive Surgical is on track to potentially surpass current market leaders Johnson & Johnson
and Medtronic—especially if these competitors cannot effectively penetrate the soft tissue surgical robotics
market. With the approval of another Intuitive system, Intuitive Surgical may secure its position as the
electrosurgical devices market leader in the coming years.
