INDIA ELECTROSURGICAL DEVICES MARKET ANALYSIS

Electrosurgical device is a surgical unit utilized to destroy tissue, incise tissue through desiccation, and to manage bleeding by coagulating blood. Electro surgery is the procedure that involves high energy alternating current usage to raise the intracellular temperature in order to achieve vaporization or a combination of protein coagulation and desiccation of biological tissue. Electrosurgical devices are utilized in general surgery, gynecological surgery, orthopedic surgery, cardiovascular surgery, cosmetic surgery, and ophthalmology surgery. Electrosurgical devices are used to carry out tissue ablation, desiccation, coagulation, fulguration, and tissue cutting procedures.

Electrosurgery involves conversion of electromagnetic energy into kinetic energy inside the tissue of biological cell which is again converted to thermal energy by providing the desired effect.

The India electrosurgical devices market is estimated to be valued at US$ 200.1 million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.2% over the forecast period (2021-2028).

The increasing research and development activities for the development of safer devices for electrosurgery is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.

For instance, in February 2019, PENTAX Medical, a division of HOYA Group delivering endo-imaging solutions, launched novel electrosurgical and argon plasma coagulation (APC) platforms, the ENDO ARC and ENDO PLUS.  ENDO PLUS provides endoscopic resections containing loops or knife electrodes as well as safe modes which are customizable and  three Gastro-Cut modes throughout polypectomy and papillotomy. ENDO ARC offers ‘contact-free’ operation for argon-assisted electrosurgery.

India Electrosurgical Devices Market – Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe has negatively impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. Likewise, COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a significant impact on the India electrosurgical devices market.

Indian economy has been affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic in several ways such as supply and demand cycle, restricting the distribution channel, and financial impact on manufacturing companies.

India Electrosurgical Devices Market: Restraint

The healthcare system in India is inadequate, inefficient, and unevenly distributed. For instance, according to an article ‘Medical Device Industry in India’, published in 2017 by AdvaMed (the Advanced Medical Technology Association) and collaborator, 69% of Indian population resides in rural area and rest of the Indian population lives in urban area. 73% of qualified consulting doctors reside in urban areas and only 8% and 19% of medical professionals are available in rural and semi-rural areas, respectively and dealing with the specialist area such as electrosurgery and minimally invasive surgery. This results in a lack of access to advanced medical devices such as electrosurgical devices in India, which may hinder the growth of India electrosurgical devices market.

Key Players

Major players operating in India electrosurgical devices market include Medtronic plc., CONMED Corporation, Ethicon, Inc., Symmetry Surgical Inc., B. Braun Melsungen AG, Olympus Corporation, Erbe Elektromedizin GmbH,  Innoblative Designs, Inc., Stryker Corporation, OmniGuide Inc., and PENTAX Medical.
