Insufflation devices are medical tools designed to introduce gas, usually carbon dioxide, into a body cavity during minimally invasive surgeries. Their primary function is to inflate the cavity, creating a working space that enhances visibility and access while reducing patient trauma.
The main types of insufflation devices include disposable and reusable variants. Disposable insufflation devices are single-use instruments that deliver gas into the body cavity to expand the area, improving visualization and access during minimally invasive procedures. These devices are used in various surgical applications, such as laparoscopic surgery, bariatric surgery, and cardiac surgery, and are employed by a range of healthcare providers, including hospitals, clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The insufflation devices market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides insufflation devices market statistics, including the insufflation devices industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the insufflation devices market share, detailed insufflation devices market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the insufflation devices industry. This insufflation devices market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The insufflation devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.74 billion in 2024 to $2.93 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rise of laparoscopic surgeries, increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures, growth of daycare surgery centers, increased focus on reducing surgical complications, and increasing demand for precise surgical tools in cancer treatment.
The insufflation devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.88 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for robotic-assisted surgeries, rising geriatric population, increase in cosmetic and aesthetic surgery, increase in awareness and training programs, and rising prevalence of chronic diseases. Major trends in the forecast period include the development of endoscopic surgery techniques, the adoption of telemedicine, technological innovations in CO2 recycling and conservation methods, advancements in insufflation device technology, and the integration of AI and machine learning.
The forecast of 7.3% growth over the next five years indicates a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for carbon dioxide (CO2) regulators and laparoscopic gas filters, sourced from key regions such as Israel and the Netherlands, which could lead to compromised minimally invasive surgery conditions and higher equipment costs.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growing rates of obesity are expected to drive the expansion of the insufflation devices market in the coming years. Obesity refers to individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, and its prevalence is increasing due to factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, high consumption of processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles. Insufflation devices play a vital role in treating obesity, particularly during procedures such as bariatric surgery, by inflating the abdominal cavity to improve visibility and facilitate access. For example, in March 2023, the World Heart Foundation, a global cardiovascular organization based in Switzerland, reported that around 2.3 billion adults and children worldwide are currently obese or overweight, and this number is expected to rise to 2.7 billion by 2025. Thus, the increasing obesity rates are fueling the growth of the insufflation devices market.
Key players in the insufflation devices market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as intelligent turbine insufflators, to enhance precision, reduce surgical complications, and improve patient outcomes in minimally invasive surgeries. An intelligent turbine insufflator is a device that delivers controlled, high-pressure airflow for insufflation during procedures, incorporating advanced features that ensure precision and safety. For example, in October 2024, Politecnico di Milano, based in Italy, collaborated with Erasmus Medical Center, located in the Netherlands, to create insufflators designed to improve surgical procedures. These insufflators generate a temporary cavity inside the body using pressurized gas, overcoming current limitations by adjusting pressure based on the patient's tissue and breathing patterns. The patented intelligent turbine insufflation technology helps improve surgical conditions and patient outcomes by reducing the need for large incisions and offering better control during surgery.
In October 2022, Aspen Surgical, a medical device manufacturer based in the US, acquired Symmetry Surgical Inc. from RoundTable Healthcare Partners for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to broaden Aspen Surgical's product range, boost its capabilities in surgical instrumentation and minimally invasive surgery, and solidify its market position by incorporating Symmetry Surgical's advanced technologies and expertise. Symmetry Surgical Inc. is a US-based company specializing in the production of insufflation devices.
