Intuitive Surgical Leads China Surgical Robotics Systems Market as New Competitors Enter the Market for Additional Applications

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a new series of reports on the China surgical navigation and robotics systems market by iData Research (www.idataresearch.com), the market in China is currently dominated by Intuitive Surgical, but has seen the entrance of companies such as Medtech and Accuray, predominantly in neurosurgery and radiosurgery applications. The market as a whole is expected to increase considerably as system sales increase and revenue from procedures, maintenance and services increases as a result of the growing installed base.

"The MIS robotic device market in China is the most mature and sees Intuitive Surgical as the market leader, but several companies are developing systems which will compete with Intuitive's system," explains Jeffrey Wong, Strategic Analyst Manager at iData Research. "As the installed base grows, the number of procedures will increase yearly, yielding a higher percentage of revenue from procedures."

The Chinese robotic assisted surgery system market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 14% through 2023 as a result of increasing adoption of robotic technologies in the neurosurgery, minimally invasive surgery (MIS), radiosurgery and spinal markets. Currently, the MIS, neurosurgery, and radiosurgery application segments are firmly established in China. Very small installed bases exist for systems with spinal applications and these are also expected to exhibit growth.

Overall, the surgical robotics market in China is still in its infancy. In addition to imported systems, several domestic companies are developing systems in a variety of procedural segments. Hong Kong has been a leading region for early system placements, with the first system, a da Vinci®, installed in Hong Kong's Prince of Wales Hospital in 2005. As many robotics companies begin to expand partnerships with established medical device companies, sales of robotic surgery systems are expected to increase significantly. Gynecological procedures are the largest specialty of the da Vinci® system in China, followed by general surgery.

Additional competitors in the China robotic assisted surgery market include Accuray with their CyberKnife® system and Medtech who currently sells ROSA®, the only robotic surgery system approved for neurosurgical procedures by the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA). Neurosurgical procedure applications include stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) treatment for epilepsy, as well as hydrocephalus shunt, electrode placement, endoscopy and deep brain stimulation. It is expected that other companies will enter the Chinese market in the near future.
