The report states that the year-on-year rise in the number of surgical procedures and the growing demand for minimally invasive procedures have fuelled demand from the global surgical equipment market. The rapidly increasing geriatric population and various technical advancements have also augmented the growth of the market.

However, the growing demand for advanced wound closure materials such as hemostats, glues, high-strength medical adhesives, fibrin, and other sealants will negatively impact the market's growth during the forecast horizon. Additionally, the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) in the U.S. will hamper the growth of the market in North America. There have been a number of incidences of product recalls owing to the side effects associated with some surgical devices. This will also restrain the market. The overall market has a huge scope to grow across the emerging economies in Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Eastern Europe.

In terms of product type, the report broadly segments the global surgical equipment market into surgical sutures and staples, surgical handheld instruments, and electrosurgical devices. The surgical handheld instruments segment has been further divided into forceps, scalpels, retractors, and scissors. The demand for surgical sutures and staples was the highest in 2012 and the segment accounted for over 55% of the market. However, during the forecast period, the segment is expected to lose market share to electrosurgical devices.

The report studies the surgical equipment market across four key regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. Presently, the overall market is dominated by Europe and North America. However, growing public investment in the healthcare sector across Latin America and Asia Pacific is expected to fuel the demand for surgical equipment.

The report profiles some of the key players in the global surgical equipment market such as Covidien plc, Ethicon Inc., B. Braun Melsungen AG, Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation, CONMED Corporation, CareFusion Corporation, ERBE Elektromedizin GmbH, KLS Martin LP, Medicon eG, Aspen Surgical Products Inc., and Stryker Corporation.
