The global surgical planning software market size was estimated at USD 167.8 million in 2030 and is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2024 to 2030. Technological development in the healthcare sector, growing demand for immediate access to medical care, and increasing global geriatric population are the factors driving the growth of the market. Planning and visualizing the surgery is an important aspect of the care provided to the patients considering the specific anatomy of the individual, to perform surgery and expect the outcome.

Furthermore, surgical planning technology simplifies the analysis of complicated anatomy and speeds up disease interpretation.
The COVID-19 outbreak caused disruption of routine healthcare leading to a decrease in hospital attendance, rescheduling of surgical services, and postponement of cancer screening programs. The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on surgical care globally. The drop in the number of beds and the operation room capacity has led to considerable delays in critical and semi-elective surgical treatments. As per the article from the Annals of Surgery, the pandemic has led to the interruption in the delivery of surgical services, with an approximate cancellation of around 28 million elective surgeries globally during the first wave of COVID-19 in addition to the cancellation of diagnostic and interventional pathways.
The key companies in the market are attempting to enhance their product portfolio by upgrading their products, employing significant cooperative efforts, and considering acquisitions and government permissions in order to increase their client base and capture a larger share of the market. For instance, In February 2022, 3D Systems announced an agreement to acquire Kumovis, a Munich, Germany-based manufacturing solutions provider for customized healthcare applications. The acquisition will help 3D Systems to add an exclusive extrusion technology to its vast polymer printing healthcare portfolio, permitting the company to expand its potential market for customized healthcare products and applications.
