Surgical robots are computer-controlled devices used in minimally invasive (MI) and laparoscopic surgeries. The robotic arm's tip is equipped with a magnification high-definition 3-D camera, which provides an accurate portrayal of the body's components. They can do complicated surgeries using miniature surgical equipment that fit through small incisions and mimic the physician's hand movements. When compared to traditional surgeries, these robots provide faster recovery times, less post-operative discomfort, and a lesser risk of infection and scarring.
Asia Pacific Surgical Robotics Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Drivers: Asia-Pacific (APAC) is seeing a considerable growth in the surgical robotics market as the region's medical procedures and healthcare system alter. The primary drivers of this expansion include a growing trend towards less invasive surgical techniques and a growing recognition among medical professionals of the benefits of training, simulation, and continuing medical education. Not only are technological advancements revolutionising surgical processes, but they are also improving patient outcomes and reducing recovery times. With the increasing adoption of surgical robotics by medical practitioners and institutions, the Asia-Pacific area is emerging as a major participant in the worldwide surgical robotics market. Using these state-of-the-art technologies could revolutionise healthcare in the future by increasing precision, productivity, and minimally intrusive procedures.
Challenges: Lack of Skilled Labour in the Region - Surgical robots are modern technologies that require specialised labour to operate. Furthermore, because these robots are so important for patient care at medical facilities, they require regular maintenance and servicing visits. However, Asia-Pacific countries lack skilled labour forces, hence the deployment of surgical robots has been limited throughout the region. In addition to maintenance, the operation of surgical robots is crucial and necessitates specific training for those who use them. As a result, the region lacks qualified medical staff to operate the surgical robots. As a result, a scarcity of competent labour has slowed the deployment of surgical robots throughout the region.
Impact of COVID-19 on Asia Pacific Surgical Robotics Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Asian surgical robotics business. The epidemic highlighted the need for new healthcare technologies and strategies to properly combat the virus. The pandemic's main impact on the market is an increased requirement for telemedicine and remote surgery: The epidemic has expedited the usage of telemedicine and remote surgery, raising the demand for surgical robots capable of performing surgeries with minimum human intervention. Furthermore, healthcare facilities reported delayed investments in surgical robots as a result of postponing non-urgent treatments and economic concerns during the pandemic.
