Middle East & Africa Surgical Robots Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis – by Component, Application, and End User

The surgical robots market in the Middle East & Africa is expected to grow from US$ 270.93 million in 2022 to US$ 541.72 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.2% from 2022 to 2028.

Mounting Adoption of Robots-Assisted Surgery Systems to Offer Ample Opportunities for Surgical Robots Market in Middle East & Africa during 2022–2028
Increasing incidences of chronic diseases, gynecological diseases, orthopedic diseases, urological diseases, neurological diseases, cardiothoracic diseases, etc. are anticipated to generate growth opportunities for Robots-assisted surgery systems, owing to the several advantages associated with them, such as the facilitation of precise, tremor-free surgery and benefits of minimally invasive methods. The adoption of Robotic telesurgery is increasing owing to the rising incidences of cholecystectomy, which is creating growth opportunities for the development of surgical robots such as the Puma 560, a Robots that was first used in 1985; it carried out neurosurgical biopsies and the transurethral resection of the prostate. According to the National Air and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center, telesurgery is one of the most intensive research areas, which has further resulted in the advancement opportunities for surgical Robots. Intuitive Surgical Inc has been developing active medical Robots to perform surgeries. For instance, the da Vinci surgical system, an advanced master-slave system, has multiple–slave systems with several Robotic arms or manipulators controlled remotely by a surgeon from a console. These systems use miniaturized operating arms, unlike the one-centimeter surgical arms of the Puma 560, avoiding the need to retract the sides of the incision. The Endo-Wrist features of the operating arms in da vinci also provide seven degrees of movement freedom. Further, newer systems use ergonomically superior open consoles rather than the closed ones of the da Vinci system. Other market opportunities, such as laparo-endoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) Robots, are also being developed by leading market players. The laparo-endoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) Robots insert the camera and multiple instruments through a single incision, preferably the umbilical, in which case there is no scar. Additionally, smaller systems such as the SurgiBot-SPIDER (Single-Port Instrument Delivery Extended Research) systems are being developed, which are significantly less expensive and have not yet gained FDA approval. The Minimally Invasive Neurosurgical Intracranial Robots (MINIR) is one of the newer Robots used to remove brain tumors, based on a CTSM with SMA actuators. The flex system uses cables with variable tension to modulate the flexibility of the endoscope, allowing many procedures to be carried out while using only a fraction of the space required by the da Vinci system. The above-mentioned factors are creating growth opportunities for the surgical robots market during the forecast period.

Market Overview
The Middle East & Africa surgical robots market is segmented into Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the UAE, and the rest of Middle East & Africa.The market in the region is expected to grow in the coming years due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, growing healthcare expenditure, and increasing collaborations by market players.

Saudi Arabia has become the world leader in the application of medical robotics.Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare (JHAH) is a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and Johns Hopkins Medicine, which is formed in 2019 and became the first hospital in the country to perform a robots-assisted hysterectomy.

Thus, the increasing adoption of robotic surgeries in Saudi Arabia is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
