Global Electrosurgical Pencils Market - 2023-2030

Overview

An electrosurgical pencil also called Cautery Pencil is a medical device utilized to fulgurate, coagulate, cut, or dissect biological tissue by applying electric current. It utilizes Radio Frequency Alternating Current or RFAC. Electrosurgical pencils are adaptable and can serve all operating requirements as they come with a universal size connector that constructs it compatible with multiple branded electrode tips. Electrosurgical pencils are utilized in all surgical domains including cardiothoracic, neurological, gynecological, orthopedic, cosmetic, and in certain dental procedures.

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

High Prevalence of Chronic Condition

The growing cases of cardiovascular surgeries are expected to boost the global market growth during the forecast period. For instance, according to the January 2022 update from the British Heart Foundation, almost 284,000 individuals were waiting for time-critical heart operations and other heart operations at the end of November 2021 and since electrosurgical pencils are utilized in cardiovascular surgeries, it will boost the global market growth during the forecast period.

Moreover, according to the Lifespan Health System over 500,000 open heart procedures are conducted annually in the United States which include coronary artery bypass, or complex procedures to the aorta or the heart itself. Furthermore, growing prevalence of other chronic conditions including cancer, diabetes and neurological conditions among others are expected to contribute to the global market growth during the forecast period.

Problems Associated with Electrosurgical Pencils

Problems such as burns to the patient or staff or ignition of drapes or other flammable materials in the vicinity of the surgical field are expected to hamper the global market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, other restraining factors include stringent regulatory bodies, high product development costs, product recall and avalibility of substituents among others.

Segment Analysis

The global electrosurgical pencils market is segmented based on type of electrode tip, procedure type, end user and region.

Electrosection Procedure Type is Expected to Dominate Market

Electrosection is the usage of an active electrode to cut tissue in a surgical procedure. Electro section involving skin incision or excision may be utilized in the therapy of acne keloidalis nuchae, blepharoplasty incision, rhinophyma repair, scar revision, shave removal (benign skin lesions), skin-flap incisions and undermining, and resurfacing. Thus, the growth in dermatological surgeries is expected to boost the segment growth thereby, dominating the global market during the forecast period.

For instance, according to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), member dermatologists conducted almost 14 million medically required and cosmetic operations in 2019 an 11% rise than in 2018 and a 78% growth since 2012. The 2019 ASDS Survey on Dermatologic Procedures indicated that practices utilizing laser / light / energy-based devices and injectables persist to expand, separately totaling over 4 million therapies. They have become the most executed procedure types for ASDS members, passing skin cancer treatments, which led for seven straight years from the survey started.

Moreover, according to the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery National Databank STATISTICS 2020-2021, surgical procedures grew by 54%, and non-surgical procedures were raised by 44%, the body procedures grew better than any other section ( + 63% vs. 2020), directed by leaps in liposuction procedures ( + 66%) and abdominoplasties ( + 49%). The intermediate plastic surgeon conducted 320 surgical operations in 2021, compared to 220 in 2020.

Geographical Analysis

North America is Expected to Dominate the Global Market

The increasing number of ambulatory surgeries and surgical center businesses in North America is expected to boost the regional market growth during the forecast period dominating the global market. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), six out of ten adults suffer a chronic condition in the US. With the rise in the number of Ambulatory surgery centers growing, a greater number of open surgeries are expected to be executed, and therefore, the need for devices utilized for open procedures including Electrosurgical Pencils is predicted to grow in the country.

Moreover, there are 8,469 Ambulatory Surgery Centers enterprises in the US as of 2023, an addition of 2.1% from 2022. The number of firms in the Ambulatory Surgery Centers enterprise in the US has increased by 2.1% per year on average over the five years between 2018 - 2023.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 is estimated to have a negative impact on the global market as during the pandemic majority of elective surgeries were either suspended or terminated decreasing the demand for electrosurgical pencils. For instance, in demand to optimize aids and counteract unique requirements, and those of the general inhabitants, the FIGO and Minimal Access Surgery (MAS) board suggested suspending elective and non-urgent surgeries established on the health aids of each nation, and on the response capability of each health system in separate.
