Electrosurgical Devices Market Report by Trends, Drivers, and Challenges - 2025

The global market for electrosurgical devices is projected to achieve a value of approximately US$ 8,000.9 million by 2025, a significant increase from US$ 4,828.4 million in 2017. This market is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8% from 2018 to 2025.
The growing number of surgical procedures has led to a heightened demand for electrosurgical instruments utilized during operations. Various factors contribute to the prevalence of chronic diseases, including increased work-related stress, unhealthy dietary habits, genetic predispositions, and exposure to harmful chemicals. According to the European Cardiovascular Disease Statistics from 2015, approximately 85 million individuals in Europe and 49 million within the EU were diagnosed with cardiovascular conditions. Nevertheless, the potential risks associated with electrosurgical devices remain a significant concern within the market. Common complications linked to these procedures include gastrointestinal tract perforation and bleeding. In rare instances, patients may experience allergic reactions due to the dyes employed during the procedures. Additionally, the risk of infection has become a growing issue in recent years.
In recent times, the electrosurgical devices market has witnessed the emergence of various innovative techniques. New methods are gaining traction for use in surgical interventions. One notable advancement is argon plasma coagulation (APC), a sophisticated electrosurgical technique designed for treating tumors in the lungs and esophagus. This method is non-invasive and aims to alleviate cancer-related symptoms, such as severe bleeding and airway blockages.
The global electrosurgical devices market is categorized by product types, which include electrosurgical generators, active electrodes, dispersive electrodes, and other related products. In 2017, the segment for electrosurgical generators dominated the market share. However, the active electrodes segment is projected to experience the highest growth rate during the forecast period, primarily due to the limited duration of high voltage application, which also addresses concerns regarding capacitive coupling.
When segmented by application, the global electrosurgical devices market includes general surgery, gynecology, urology, gastroenterology, arthroscopy, and other areas. The general surgery segment held the largest market share in 2017. Furthermore, this segment is expected to witness the most rapid growth in the coming years, driven by the increasing frequency of surgical procedures conducted across various nations.
