Surgical Drills Market Trends

• Rising number of sports Injuries and accidensts to drive market growth

Sports involvement among kids and teenagers has expanded during the previous few decades, especially among younger age groups. Injuries that were previously only seen in more experienced athletes are now more frequently occurring in young athletes. According to Stanford Medicine, Children's Health, Over 3.5 million injuries that result in some loss of playing time are sustained by the approximately 30 million kids and teens participating in organized sports in the U.S. each year. Sports-related injuries account for nearly one-third of all injuries suffered by children. Even though sports-related deaths are uncommon, brain injuries are the most common type of sports-related fatality. Sports and recreational activities cause about 21% of all traumatic brain injuries among American children. Thus, growing sports-related injuries are one of the most common factors driving the market CAGR for surgical drills.

Moreover, road accidents are also a leading cause of fractures and injuries in the population. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that RTAs are the number one killer of people between the ages of 15 and 29. Additionally, it is anticipated that by 2020 and 2030, fatalities from motor vehicle accidents will rank as the fifth and sixth most common causes of death, respectively. An estimated 1.3 million people per year pass away in traffic accidents. More than 90% of traffic-related fatalities take place in low- and middle-income nations. The rate of fatalities from traffic accidents is highest in Africa and lowest in Europe. Thus, such accidents are fueling the number of surgeries performed globally.

Bone drilling has become a crucial component of orthopedic surgery as a result of the expanding use of mechanical engineering in the medical field. Recently, more studies, developments, and equipment have been related to drilling into the bone to fix implants or expand the operative field. Surgical drills have developed into a necessary piece of surgical gear. They help reduce treatment times, facilitate handling, improve the accuracy of the intended procedure, and avoid anatomical structures within the bone. Companies in the market are heavily investing in developing surgical equipment, including surgical drills. For instance, in June 2021, German-based Joimax, the industry leader in technologies and training methods for full-endoscopic and minimally invasive spinal surgery, launched Shaver Drill System, a new generation Shrill globally. The joimax Shrill system, which was created for the removal of soft tissue and bone, is also incredibly effective in treating stenosis, a degenerative spine condition. Such initiatives taken by the players in the market are anticipated to accelerate the Surgical Drills market revenue globally..

Surgical Drills Market Segment Insights

Surgical Drills Product Insights

The Surgical Drills Market segmentation, based on product, includes pneumatic drills, electric drills, and others. The pneumatic drills segment held the majority share in 2022 in the Surgical Drills Market data. Oral and dental procedures are being performed more frequently. By using more torque, these drills enable quicker and easier drilling while requiring less time under anesthesia and enabling safer surgical procedures. It is one of the most commonly used equipment in the dental clinic. Thus a growing number of dental procedures are propelling the segment's growth. The electric drills segment is expected to hold the largest CAGR during the forecast period. Electric Ortho drills are also more lightweight and require less maintenance than other drills, particularly pneumatic drills. Despite not giving as much mobility as a battery-operated system, electric drills connected via a power cord are still simple to use. Thus, such advantages are expected to aid the growth of this segment during the forecast period.

April 2021: A Warsaw-based orthopedic startup claims to have a solution for one of the trickiest problems that orthopedic surgeons encounter when treating traumatic injuries like broken tibia or femur, the two main leg bones. To help surgeons "see" where they are drilling for the first time, the company raised USD 400 000 in seed funding for the commercialization of its device.
