Arthroscopic Shavers Global Market Report 2026

An arthroscopic shaver is a surgical instrument employed during arthroscopic procedures to trim, cut, or eliminate damaged tissue or debris from within a joint. It generally comprises a small, rotating blade encased in a tube-like device, enabling precise and minimally invasive treatment of joint ailments.

Arthroscopic shavers are categorized into two main types arthroscopic shaver systems and arthroscopic shaver accessories. Arthroscopic shaver systems are medical tools utilized in minimally invasive surgeries to extract damaged tissue and debris from joints such as the knee, shoulder, and hip. These systems typically consist of a handpiece equipped with rotating blades, suction for debris removal, and controls for adjusting blade speed and direction. Applications encompass knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, spine, foot, ankle arthroscopy, among others. End users include hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and orthopedic clinics.

Tariffs are impacting the arthroscopic shavers market by increasing the cost of imported precision components, motors, metallic blades, and electronic assemblies used in powered shaver systems, which raises production and procurement expenses for hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers. The effect is particularly evident in regions that rely on cross-border sourcing of orthopedic surgical instruments, including Asia-Pacific and parts of Europe. However, tariffs are also encouraging localization of manufacturing, supplier diversification, and regional assembly operations, supporting supply stability and cost optimization across arthroscopic shaver systems and accessory product segments.

This arthroscopic shavers market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The arthroscopic shavers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.07 billion in 2025 to $2.21 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in orthopedic sports injury cases, early adoption of arthroscopic surgery techniques, rising availability of powered arthroscopic shaver systems, expansion of hospital orthopedic surgery capacity, increasing utilization of joint preservation procedures.

The arthroscopic shavers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.79 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing procedure volumes in ambulatory surgical centers, rising demand for precision-engineered shaver accessories, growing focus on faster patient recovery and reduced hospital stay, expanding applications in complex arthroscopic reconstructions, increasing investment in minimally invasive orthopedic technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures across major joints, rising preference for high-precision shaver blades and burrs to enhance surgical accuracy, growing utilization of multifunctional arthroscopic shaver systems for tissue resection and debridement, increasing adoption of disposable and single-use shaver accessories to reduce cross-contamination risk, expanding application of arthroscopic shavers in sports injury and degenerative joint disorder management.

A growing incidence of sports-related injuries is anticipated to drive the expansion of the arthroscopic shaver market in the coming years. Sports-related injuries refer to physical harm sustained during athletic activities or exercise, commonly impacting muscles, bones, and joints. The rise in such injuries is attributed to increased participation in sports, more intensive training regimens, and advancements in sports equipment that push physical limits, collectively leading to higher injury rates among athletes worldwide. Arthroscopic shavers are utilized in the management of these injuries to effectively remove damaged tissue and restore joint structures through minimally invasive techniques, supporting faster recovery and reduced downtime for athletes. For example, in July 2024, according to the National Safety Council, a US-based nonprofit safety advocacy organization, 3.7 million Americans received emergency department treatment for injuries related to sports and recreational equipment in 2023. Exercise, cycling, and basketball were the most common activities linked to these injuries. Injuries associated with exercise and exercise equipment rose by 8% in 2023, reaching 482,886 cases compared to 445,642 cases in 2022. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of sports-related injuries is expected to fuel growth in the arthroscopic shaver market.

Major companies operating in the arthroscopic shaver market are concentrating on technological innovations, including wireless single-use shaver systems, to improve surgical efficiency and patient outcomes. A wireless single-use arthroscopic shaver system is a disposable, battery-powered device designed for minimally invasive joint surgeries, providing cordless functionality that enhances operational efficiency and lowers infection risk. For instance, in January 2024, Integrated Endoscopy, a US-based manufacturer of advanced, integrated, and ergonomic endoscopic imaging systems for medical procedures, partnered with Frii Medical, a UK-based developer of innovative medical devices, to introduce a proprietary single-use shaver system globally. This wireless shaver enables surgeons to operate without power cords and includes a reusable motor and battery module along with a recharging station. Frii's system removes the need for sterilization, ensures consistent performance, and substantially lowers the overall cost associated with conventional shaver systems.

In November 2024, Medtronic plc, a US-based medical device company, acquired Fortimedix Surgical for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to accelerate Medtronic's advancement of articulating instruments and flexible endoscopic toolsets by incorporating Fortimedix's precision instrument design expertise and manufacturing capabilities into Medtronic's surgical platforms. Fortimedix Surgical is a Netherlands-based medical technology company specializing in the development of articulating and flexible surgical instruments for endoscopic and minimally invasive procedures.
