India’s Robotic Surgical Systems Market to Grow at 10% CAGR Until 2036

The report states that India will account for approximately 6% of the Asia-Pacific robotic surgical systems market in 2024.

India’s robotic surgical systems market is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10% between 2024 and 2036, driven by increasing adoption and government initiatives.

According to a report by GlobalData, India will account for approximately 6% of the Asia-Pacific robotic surgical systems market in 2024.

The Indian government has been actively promoting robotic-assisted surgeries in public healthcare facilities.

A significant development in this direction is installing a surgical robot at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi. This move aligns with efforts to bridge the technological gap between public and private healthcare institutions.

The newly introduced robotic system in AIIMS’ General Surgery Department provides surgeons with a magnified 3D view and robotic arms designed for greater precision in complex procedures. This will improve surgical accuracy, particularly in delicate dissections and suturing within restricted anatomical spaces.

Divya Soni, Medical Devices Analyst at GlobalData, highlighted the impact of robotic-assisted surgeries and said, "Robotic-assisted surgeries not only enhance precision and minimize errors but also signify a fundamental transformation in healthcare delivery. These advanced procedures can improve long-term outcomes, expedite recovery periods, and redefine the dynamics between surgeon and patient. Governmental support can be instrumental in overcoming barriers such as high cost and lack of enough specialized training, thereby ensuring equitable healthcare access for all socio-economic strata."

Expansion in Private Sector

Beyond public hospitals, private healthcare institutions are expanding their robotic surgery programs.

The Apollo Cancer Center in Kolkata recently conducted India’s first robotic-assisted excision of a rare prostatic stromal tumor, demonstrating the growing role of robotic surgery in handling complex and rare conditions.

Soni further noted, "Integrating robotics into public healthcare facilities signifies a pivotal moment in standardizing high-quality healthcare across public and private sectors. This advancement is anticipated to transform surgical procedures, providing insight into the future of medical treatment in India."

With increasing investment in robotic systems and training programs, India’s healthcare sector is expected to witness broader adoption of these technologies, ensuring better surgical outcomes and accessibility across different socio-economic groups.
