Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered spinal surgery refers to spinal procedures enhanced by AI algorithms that support surgeons in diagnosis, surgical planning, navigation, and outcome prediction. These systems analyze and interpret medical imaging and patient data to improve surgical precision, optimize implant placement, guide intraoperative decision-making, and forecast postoperative risks. The incorporation of AI in spinal surgery increases accuracy, safety, and efficiency, ultimately contributing to better patient outcomes and more personalized treatment strategies.
The primary types of surgeries involved in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered spinal surgery include spinal fusion surgery, microdiscectomy, laminectomy, laminotomy, lumbar decompression surgery, transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, oblique lumbar interbody fusion, and vertebroplasty. Spinal fusion surgery is a procedure that permanently joins two or more vertebrae to eliminate motion between them and provide spinal stability. The different anatomical regions addressed are cervical, thoracic, and lumbar. The key indications include degenerative conditions, trauma, deformities, tumors or oncologic cases, infections, and others, with end-users such as hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), and orthopedic 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 sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of critical medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing higher costs for imported surgical instruments, imaging equipment, and consumables such as syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. These increased costs are straining healthcare budgets, leading some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass on expenses to patients. Additionally, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the production of essential drugs and devices, causing supply chain bottlenecks. In response, the industry is diversifying sourcing strategies, boosting local manufacturing where possible, and advocating for tariff exemptions on life-saving medical products.

This artificial intelligence (AI)-powered spinal surgery 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 artificial intelligence (AI)-powered spinal surgery market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.97 billion in 2024 to $1.06 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the historic period resulted from the increasing prevalence of spinal disorders, the rising number of spinal surgeries worldwide, growing demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures, a surge in the aging population with degenerative spine conditions, increasing awareness of spinal health and available treatment options, and the expansion of healthcare infrastructure and surgical facilities.
The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered spinal surgery market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.52 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the forecast period will be driven by increasing healthcare expenditure across developed and emerging economies, rising adoption of precision-based surgical interventions, growing emphasis on patient safety and surgical outcomes, a surge in demand for efficient procedures with shorter recovery times, increasing investment in advanced surgical training and education, and the expansion of hospital networks and specialized spine centers. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in real-time surgical visualization systems, progress in data-driven surgical planning tools, innovations in image-guided robotic navigation platforms, developments in augmented and mixed reality-assisted surgery, research and development in predictive analytics for spinal alignment, and innovations in intraoperative monitoring and outcome assessment systems.
The increasing preference for minimally invasive surgical solutions is expected to drive the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered spinal surgery market. Minimally invasive surgical solutions involve procedures performed through small incisions rather than the larger cuts typical of traditional open surgery. This rising preference is largely driven by the faster recovery times these procedures offer. The AI-powered spinal surgery market supports this trend by providing enhanced surgical precision and minimizing tissue damage, which accelerates patient recovery and improves clinical outcomes. For example, in June 2025, Intuitive Surgical, a US-based biotechnology company, reported that the number of procedures performed using its "da Vinci" robotic systems, a key MIS enabling technology, increased from 1,532,000 in 2023 to 1,757,000 in 2024. Thus, the growing preference for minimally invasive surgical solutions is fueling the expansion of the AI-powered spinal surgery market.
Key companies operating in the AI-powered spinal surgery market are focusing on integrating technological advancements such as 3D surgical planning to enhance surgical precision, workflow efficiency, and patient outcomes. 3D surgical planning is a technology that utilizes patient-specific 3D anatomical models derived from imaging data to simulate surgical procedures and optimize implant placement. It enables preoperative visualization, personalized treatment planning, and intraoperative alignment optimization. For instance, in July 2024, Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (ATEC), a US-based medical technology company specializing in spinal surgery solutions, launched EOS Insight, a 3D surgical planning platform powered by EOS imaging and artificial intelligence (AI). The platform streamlines the entire spine surgery workflow, from preoperative planning to postoperative assessment, using intelligent imaging and data integration. It features AI-driven alignment assessment, web-based 3D surgical simulation, and patient-specific rod design, improving clinical decision-making, surgical accuracy, and overall efficiency in spine care.
In September 2023, Globus Medical, Inc., a US-based medical technology company specializing in musculoskeletal solutions, including spinal implants, imaging, navigation, and robotics systems, acquired NuVasive, Inc. for $3 billion. Through this acquisition, Globus Medical gains access to NuVasive's advanced surgical automation and navigation technologies, including the Pulse platform, which integrates imaging, neuromonitoring, and data analytics. This enhances Globus Medical's AI-powered spinal surgery portfolio while expanding its global operational scale and surgeon network reach. NuVasive is a US-based provider of minimally invasive spinal surgery technologies.
