Market Overview:
The global medical blades market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for surgical procedures, rising geriatric population, and technological advancements in medical blades. Based on type, the global medical blades market is segmented into plastic handle scalpels and stainless steel scalpel handles. The plastic handle scalpels segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period as compared to the stainless steel scalpel handles segment. This can be attributed to their low cost and easy availability as compared to stainless steel scalpel handles. Based on application, the global medical blades market is divided into surgery, autopsy, and other applications such as biopsy and histology).
Product Definition:
A medical blade is a type of scalpel used in medicine. It has a thin, sharp blade that is used to make cuts in the skin or other tissues.
Plastic Handle Scalpels:
Plastic handle scalpels are small, thin and lightweight instruments that are used for incisions during surgeries. They have replaceable blades which makes them easy to clean and maintain. The design of these scalpels is such that it can be held by one hand or two hands as per requirement. These scalpels come in a variety of sizes so as to suit the requirements of different surgeons.
Stainless Steel Scalpel Handle:
The stainless steel scalpel handle is a type of surgical instrument that consists of a handle made from high-grade corrosion-resistant metal, which is used by surgeons and physicians during surgeries. The material used to make the blade depends on the requirements such as biocompatibility, sterilizability, strength, flexibility and rigidity among others.
Application Insights:
Based on application, the global medical blades market is segmented into surgery, autopsy and others. The surgery segment dominated the overall market in terms of revenue in 2017. Increasing number of surgeries being performed globally is a major factor contributing to this growth. According to WHO, an estimated 1.9 billion surgical procedures were performed worldwide in 2016 which was a rise from 1.8 billion surgeries performed in 2012 and an increase of 10% from 2010 when compared with previous years due to increased life expectancy and better healthcare facilities across the globe (1). This has led to higher demand for scalpels during autopsies as they are considered essential tools for precise anatomical cutting (2).
The other application segment includes laboratory work, pharmaceutical testing and forensic science among others (3).
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to well-established healthcare sector, increasing adoption of advanced medical devices, and favorable reimbursement policies. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period due to factors such as growing geriatric population base and rising incidence of chronic diseases. In addition, high disposable income is anticipated to boost demand for surgical tools & equipment in this region.
Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing regional market from 2018 to 2030 due a large number of surgeries being performed annually in emerging countries such as China & India coupled with rapidly developing healthcare infrastructure.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries: The global medical blades market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period due to the increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries. This is because these surgeries are less risky and cause less pain and trauma as compared to traditional open surgery procedures.
- Technological advancements: The medical blades market is witnessing rapid technological advancements, which is resulting in the development of new products with enhanced features and performance. This is helping manufacturers to cater to the growing needs of surgeons and patients alike.
- Rising geriatric population: The global geriatric population is increasing at a rapid pace, which in turn is leading to an increase in the number of age-related diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, etc., requiring surgical treatment. This will create opportunities for medical blade manufacturers in the coming years.
