North America is Projected to Witness Healthy Growth in The Spine Robotic Surgery Market During the Forecast Period

North America is expected to witness lucrative growth opportunities amid a rise in the prevalence of spinal cord injuries and deformities, the increase in technological advancements, the growing demand for minimally invasive surgery procedures, and several strategic initiatives undertaken by industry participants.

The prevalence of spine disorders, such as degenerative conditions, spinal deformities, spinal cord injuries, and spinal trauma, is on the rise in the North American region. This has led to a growing demand for advanced surgical interventions to treat these conditions effectively. For instance, according to a May 2023 report of Spinal Cord, Inc., around 18,000 new spinal cord injuries occur each year in the United States, with an annual incidence rate of 54 per 1 million.

Thus, such an alarming increase in the burden of spinal cord injuries in the country is expected to foster demand for innovative surgical interventions to manage such conditions, which, in turn, is projected to accelerate market growth over the study period.

In addition, the proven role of spinal robotic surgeries in the management of spinal trauma and other deformities is further projected to accelerate market growth over the study period. For instance, according to an article published by the North American Spine Society Journal in September 2023, robotic assistance in spinal surgery can be safely implemented in patients with traumatic fractures, and robot-assisted instrumented fusion can be helpful in such spinal traumas. Thus, the proven role of robotic platforms in spine surgeries is projected to accelerate industry growth over the coming years.

Furthermore, there is a growing demand for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), leading to a rise in the application of robotic spinal surgeries. For instance, according to a report published by the Canadian Journal for Surgery in November 2022, minimally invasive surgery decreases length of stay, pain, and complications such as surgical site infection. Therefore, patients increasingly seek procedures offering smaller incisions, faster recovery times, and reduced pain. Thus, the increasing uptake of minimally invasive surgical procedures is projected to accelerate market growth over the study period.

Also, several recent developments undertaken by key industry participants are further expected to accelerate market growth over the study period.
