Arthroscopy devices and equipment are essential tools used in arthroscopic procedures, which are minimally invasive and primarily employed for diagnosing and treating joint issues like torn cartilage, ACL injuries, and sports-related joint injuries in various body parts including the hip, knee, shoulder, spine, ankle, wrist, and elbow.
The primary products within the arthroscopy devices and equipment category include arthroscopes, arthroscopy shavers, arthroscopy fluid management systems, arthroscopy radiofrequency systems, visualization systems, and implants. Arthroscopes, equipped with a camera lens and light, enable visualization inside the joint. These devices find applications in knee arthroscopy, hip arthroscopy, spine arthroscopy, foot and ankle arthroscopy, shoulder and elbow arthroscopy, and other joint-related procedures. They are utilized across hospital settings, ambulatory care facilities, and trauma centers.
Tariffs are influencing the arthroscopy devices and equipment market by increasing costs of imported optical components, surgical-grade metals, imaging systems, radiofrequency units, and precision instruments. Hospitals and ambulatory care centers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported high-end arthroscopy systems, while Asia-Pacific faces increased manufacturing costs for global exports. These tariffs are elevating device prices and impacting capital equipment purchasing decisions. At the same time, they are encouraging local manufacturing, regional sourcing of components, and innovation in cost-efficient arthroscopy technologies.
The arthroscopy devices and equipment market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides arthroscopy devices and equipment market statistics, including arthroscopy devices and equipment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a arthroscopy devices and equipment market share, detailed arthroscopy devices and equipment market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the arthroscopy devices and equipment industry. This arthroscopy devices and equipment 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 arthroscopy devices and equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.23 billion in 2025 to $6.71 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing sports-related injuries, expansion of orthopedic surgical procedures, growing adoption of minimally invasive techniques, improvements in arthroscopy instrument design, increased availability of specialized trauma centers.
The arthroscopy devices and equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.1 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing aging population with joint disorders, rising demand for outpatient arthroscopy procedures, expansion of robotic-assisted orthopedic surgeries, growing investments in advanced surgical visualization, increasing focus on faster patient recovery. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of minimally invasive arthroscopy procedures, rising use of high-definition visualization systems, growing demand for advanced arthroscopy implants, expansion of radiofrequency-based treatment systems, enhanced focus on precision surgical instruments.
The increasing older population is anticipated to drive the growth of the arthroscopy devices and equipment market in the coming years. Older individuals are more susceptible to various orthopedic conditions, including arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. As the number of people entering the older age bracket rises, the prevalence of osteoarthritis and other joint-related ailments is expected to increase, often necessitating arthroscopic procedures for both diagnosis and treatment. For example, in October 2025, according to the World Health Organization, a US-based specialized health agency, the global population aged 80 and above is projected to triple by 2050, reaching approximately 426 million. Therefore, the expanding older population is likely to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Major companies operating in the arthroscopy devices and equipment market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions such as single-use arthroscopes to deliver consistent, high-quality optics for every procedure. Single-use arthroscopes are disposable instruments designed for minimally invasive joint inspections or treatments, providing sterility and eliminating the need for reprocessing. For instance, in November 2023, Pristine Surgical, a US-based medical device company, launched Summit, a 4K single-use surgical arthroscope. This fully integrated disposable arthroscope provides 4K imaging in a sterile and cost-effective format, ready for immediate use. It eliminates the operating room preparation, post-procedure cleaning, and reprocessing required for traditional reusable scopes. Each device is newly sterilized for each patient, ensuring reliable image quality and smooth workflow. The system also includes Pristine Connect software, which facilitates cloud storage of surgical images and automated inventory management.
In July 2024, KKR and Co. Inc., a US-based private equity firm, acquired Healthium Medtech Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to transform Healthium from a domestic suture manufacturer into a global leader in medical devices. The deal provides a controlling interest in Healthium, enhancing its portfolio of wound closure products and enabling expansion into areas such as arthroscopy and advanced wound care through in-house R&D and strategic acquisitions. Healthium Medtech Ltd. is an India-based healthcare company specializing in advanced medical technologies, including arthroscopy devices and equipment.
