What is the state of medical robotics in industry and academia

Global medical robots started earlier

The global medical robotics industry started early, and as early as 1985, there were cases of industrial robots being used in clinical surgery.In 1992, the first surgical robot was introduced. In the early 21st century, the da Vinci surgical robot monopolized the market and became the global leader in the segment of surgical robots.Since 2019, a variety of medical robots have been introduced one after another, and the global medical robotics industry has ushered in a new wave of development.

Global market size exceeds 10 billion U.S. dollars, active investment and financing

With the development of digital healthcare, the global medical robotics development has been rapid, and the market size is rapidly expanding. According to Statista data, in 2021, the global medical robotics market size reached 10.9 billion U.S. dollars, and in 2022 the market size may reach 12.5 billion U.S. dollars.

From the point of view of investment and financing scale, from 2015 to 2021, the global digital healthcare (including medical robotics) investment and financing scale increased significantly, reaching $44.8 billion in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 95.63%. 2022, the global digital healthcare investment and financing scale reached $23.3 billion. Overall, the global digital healthcare investment and financing market is more active.

Global sales of more than 10,000 units, surgical robot revenue of nearly 300 million U.S. dollars

According to the IFR data, the global sales of medical robots in 2020-2021 were 12,000 units and 15,000 units, respectively. Based on CEC data, 668 da Vinci surgical robots will be put into operation globally*** in 2021, driving $277 million in revenue.
