ELECTROSURGICAL CUTTING FORCEP MARKET OVERVIEW

The global electrosurgical cutting forcep market was valued at USD 0.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 0.52 billion in 2025, steadily progressing to USD 0.78 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 4.9% from 2025 to 2033.

Electrosurgical cutting forceps are available in the market in both mechanical and bipolar versions for monopolar electro surgery. An electrosurgical forcep is used to coagulate, dissect, grip, and manipulate tissues. Various forceps styles in the market include cutting, dilating, grasping, punch, scoopless, and serrated. Additional forceps classifications include hinge less, single-action (one element), double-action (two components), and a spoon. The variety of features in these forceps devices makes the product desirable in the healthcare industry.

Electrosurgical cutting forceps are devices used for excision during surgery. The electrosurgical cutting forcep industry is less concentrated due to low global technical and funding barriers. Technological advancements in electro surgery devices, a rapidly aging population, increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries, a growing number of medical and plastic surgeries, and an increasing number of surgery centers are expected to drive market growth during the forecasted period. The post-pandemic boom will benefit the industry players and manufacturers massively.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Healthcare Industry Collapse Impeded Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic was unprecedented & staggering, with electrosurgical cutting forcep experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic times.

The collapse of the healthcare industry due to the pandemic strain severely impeded the product's market growth as researchers diverted their attention to the virus and its cure. The supply chain disruptions caused due to decreased demand in the market further hampered market demand, leading to significant losses to industrial players and investors in the region. Therefore, the complete collapse of the healthcare mechanism in hospitals negatively impacted the industry. However, the industry is set to boom rapidly in the post-pandemic period.

LATEST TRENDS

Technical Improvements in Devices to Fuel Market Growth and Share

With the launch of technological innovations and technical innovations by leading industrial players in the market and critical mergers and acquisitions in developed regions, the industry's market share will significantly increase during the forecast period. The application of electrosurgical cutting forcep devices in healthcare sectors such as dentistry, dermatology, plastic surgery, and other procedures is also a significant factor driving market growth worldwide. The devices are vital for these procedures and demand professional healthcare workers to handle them. 

  • Adoption of Bipolar Electrosurgical Technology: According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), over 65% of newly registered electrosurgical devices in 2023 used bipolar energy for enhanced precision and reduced thermal spread.
  • Shift Towards Minimally Invasive Procedures: As reported by the American College of Surgeons (ACS), approximately 74% of general surgeries in U.S. hospitals in 2022 were minimally invasive, boosting demand for electrosurgical cutting forceps.
