The global steerable needles market size is expected to reach USD 1.91 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.38% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for technologically advanced steerable needles among different healthcare settings to perform robotic surgery. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), around 876,000 robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) procedures were performed in 2020. Thus, an increasing number of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) cases are anticipated to boost demand for steerable needles during the forecast period.
Significant technological advancements have been made in the development of steerable needles in recent years. These advancements have led to the development of more precise and accurate steerable needles and steerable needles that are compatible with a wide range of imaging modalities. For instance, in October 2022, Strasbourg University's Lennart Rubbert and EPFL's Charles Baur developed a needle with a steerable tip known as the ARC needle. Currently, this ARC needle technology is being commercialized by the French Company Conectus. Thus, the successful completion of clinical trials and subsequent approval of products is projected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period.
Moreover, several global market players are undertaking various initiatives such as joint ventures to strengthen their market positions. This strategy enables companies to increase their capabilities, improve their competencies, and expand their product portfolios. For instance, in April 2023, Serpex Medical and Body Vision Medical jointly announced the completion of the first lung nodule biopsy using Sepex's compass steerable needle navigated by Body Vision's LungVision real-time, intraoperative CT imaging system carried out by Dr. Michael Machuzak at Cleveland Clinic. This initiative will strengthen the adoption of newly launched steerable needles worldwide, thereby driving the market growth.
