The U.S. surgical laser rental market size was estimated at USD 3.9 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 7.3 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2025 to 2033. The market is growing due to increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures, rising surgical volumes, and the high cost of laser equipment ownership. Hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers prefer rentals to reduce capital expenditure while accessing advanced technologies. Technological advancements, including diode and CO2 lasers, enhance treatment precision and patient outcomes. Additionally, the growing prevalence of chronic conditions like cancer and urological disorders fuels laser-assisted surgeries. Flexible rental models and maintenance-inclusive contracts further drive market growth.
Surgical lasers are critical tools across multiple specialties, including dermatology, urology, ophthalmology, dentistry, and general surgery. However, the capital investment required to purchase these systems, often ranging between USD 100,000 and USD 500,000, is a major barrier for many healthcare providers, particularly smaller clinics and ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs). Renting allows these facilities to access advanced technology without the burden of upfront capital expenditure, making it a financially viable alternative.
Healthcare providers benefit from the ability to easily upgrade or switch technologies which is essential in a field where innovation is constant. Surgical laser rentals often come with bundled services such as installation, operator training, technical support, regular maintenance, and compliance assurance, which further reduce the logistical and regulatory burdens on hospitals and clinics. This model appeals especially to outpatient and ASC settings, where operational efficiency and cost containment are paramount. As more surgical procedures shift from inpatient to outpatient care, the demand for flexible, high-performance laser systems through rentals is expected to accelerate.
The adoption of surgical lasers for aesthetic procedures has played a substantial role in driving the rental market. Dermatology and cosmetic clinics rely heavily on laser technologies for applications such as skin resurfacing, hair removal, tattoo removal, and acne treatment. Given the rapidly changing nature of aesthetic laser technology and patient preferences, many of these facilities prefer renting the latest devices rather than investing in ownership. For example, since 1986, Mobile Med Surgical Inc. has supported healthcare facilities across Southern California by offering a wide range of lasers and specialty equipment available for rental around the clock, 24/7.
Urology and ophthalmology segments are also increasingly turning to laser rentals for procedures such as kidney stone fragmentation, prostate treatments, and vision correction surgeries. These technologies are essential for precision and safety, and rentals allow healthcare providers to adopt them while managing financial risk and optimizing cash flow.
