The global rigid laparoscopes market size was estimated at USD 1.67 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.46 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.35% from 2025 to 2033. The rising acceptance of minimally invasive procedures and patient preferences for quicker recovery and shorter hospital stays are driving the market for rigid laparoscopes.
Expanding healthcare infrastructure in emerging markets and government investments in surgical training programs fuel demand, creating strong momentum for global market growth. The primary driver of the rigid laparoscopes market is the increasing preference for minimally invasive procedures. Surgeons and patients favor these techniques due to smaller incisions, reduced post-operative pain, and faster recovery times. This trend is particularly strong in general surgery, gynecology, and urology, where laparoscopic interventions are gradually replacing traditional open procedures. In August 2024, AKTORmed GmbH's SOLOASSIST IID / DEXTER Endoscope Arm cleared by the FDA, allowing surgeons to use this rigid laparoscope system in minimally invasive procedures such as cholecystectomy, appendectomy, and thoracic or urologic interventions.
The market is growing owing to continuous improvements in optics, digital integration, and ergonomics. The advancement of high-definition imaging, fluorescence-guided visualization, and single-use laparoscopes is increasing surgical precision and patient safety. Integration with digital platforms and robotic-assisted systems is further expanding the clinical utility of rigid laparoscopes, encouraging adoption in advanced healthcare centers. In July 2025, the Surgical Endoscopy journal highlighted advancements in laparoscopic surgery, focusing on robotic-assisted platforms that improve surgeon dexterity, visualization, and precision. These systems integrate 3D optics, multi-arm instruments, and semi-autonomous controls to enhance minimally invasive procedures.
Growing investments in healthcare infrastructure, particularly in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East drive demand for this market. Programs for minimally invasive surgery are being supported by governments through funding, hospital modernization, and surgeon training. This expanding infrastructure, combined with rising surgical volumes, is opening new growth opportunities for both global and regional manufacturers. In September 2024, Munich-based medtech startup Symphera raised USD 2.6 million in seed funding to advance its innovative laparoscopic device, which automates tool-switching at the push of a button, aiming to simplify surgery and improve patient outcomes.
