Surgical Instrument Tracking Systems Market Growth Analysis, Trends Forecast by Regions and Types to 2025
19th January 2021 – Global surgical instrument tracking systems market was valued at over USD 83.5 million in 2015 and is anticipated to rise at over 19.0% during the forecast period. The major factors, which contribute to the growth of this market are growing incidence of hospital acquired infections and instrument misplacement. In the U.S., nearly 90,000 people die every year due to hospital-acquired infections, based on a data by CDC. In order to prevent these infections arising out of instrument contamination, instrument tracking system is highly useful. It is also used for inventory management to enhance the efficiency of the staff.
Rising prevalence of retained surgical equipment cases is
another factor which is expected to contribute to the demand for surgical
instrument tracking systems in the coming years. The fatality rate of retained
surgical instruments accounted for nearly 2%, according to a study by the
National Center for Biotechnology Information. Technological advancements in
the field of surgical instrument tracking systems, such as RFID, 2D bar codes
further boost the growth of this market.

Based on the product, the market is classified into services,
hardware and software. Software held the largest market share in 2016 and is
projected to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period. Advancements in
the field of software technology, such as tracking surgical instruments and
inventory management support the growth of this segment. For instance, IMPRESS,
designed by BD helps delivering information on sterilized surgical equipment.
This further facilitates inventory management and delivers ongoing assistance
through phone. The hardware segment is expected to showcase significant growth
over the forecast period. This is due to the high demand for RFID labels and
barcode tags. For instance, Dot XXS - Autoclavable Version of Xerafy is
especially designed for tagging surgical instruments. It is one of the smallest
RFID metal tag and withstands repeated autoclave and chemical washes.
Barcode technology held the largest market share in 2016. It is
the most common technology used for tracking systems and is widely used by
medical device industry, thus, contributing to the growth of this segmental
revenue. Moreover, the low installation cost associated with these barcodes
also has led to increasing use by ambulatory surgery centers and hospitals. The
RFID segment is expected to witness lucrative CAGR over the forecast period
owing to the rapid technological advancements in the field of RFID, such as
huge data storage capacity, high durability, no requirement of line-of-sight
and reusability. In 2016, hospitals held the largest market share owing to the
retention of surgical instruments at the site of surgery. In order to improve
patient safety by tracking the instruments and managing the inventory,
hospitals increasingly use surgical instrument tracking systems. This
contributed to the growth of the segment. Hospitals are also anticipated to
show highest growth over the forecast period. Rapid technological advancements
in the hardware and software is expected to support the growth of this segment.
In 2016, North America held the largest market share. The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration launched an innovative device, which can detect
and identify medical devices. This factor contributed to this largest revenue
growth. In addition, availability of highly developed medical infrastructure,
huge penetration of advanced technology and rising healthcare expenditure
further accelerates the growth of this regional segment. According to CMS,
total healthcare spending in the U.S. was USD 3.2 trillion in 2015, which
depicted high healthcare expenditure in this country. Asia pacific is projected
to witness attractive growth over the forecast period owing to the untapped
market of this region. Moreover, rapid investments in healthcare infrastructure
along with increasing geriatric population also contributed to the high growth
of this segment.
Some of the major companies of this market are Xerafy; Haldor
Advanced Technologies Ltd.; Materials Management Microsystems, Inc; Censis
Technologies Inc.; Becton, Dickinson and Company and B. Braun Melsungen AG. In
order to fulfil the unmet needs of the target population, the major companies
are undertaking regional expansion, development of new products and mergers
& acquisitions. For instance, in October 2015, Xerafy launched world’s
smallest RFID tag named XXS Tags.
