People in search of better job opportunities and higher education migrate to developed cities such as Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Novosibirsk results in substantial rise domestic remittance in the country. The mushrooming migrant population in cities has also led to an increase in the households which resulted to an overall increase in use of groceries, utilities such as electricity and water.

Over ~ spine and brain surgeries and more than ~ total/partial knee and total hip replacement procedures were performed using surgical robots in 2017.

International expansion has been slow over the past decade due to the fact that the majority of these companies are US based. Most companies have been focused on gaining regulatory approvals from the FDA and subsequently market the product aggressively before launching the systems elsewhere in the world. The process of individually gaining approval in various countries has slowed the growth of the entire surgical robotics industry. Additionally, all robotics companies face the challenge of convincing hospitals to purchase systems that are usually priced in excess of USD 1 million.

Which Segments are doing Well in Global Robotic Surgery Market?

The US is at the forefront of medical research and is more often the first country to adopt new, innovative surgical robots for a variety of indications. Although robot-assisted surgeries are expensive, insurers pay no more for surgeries that utilize robotic systems than for other types of minimally-invasive procedures, such as laparoscopy. Higher treatment cost with surgical robots has resulted in slower adoption of robotic surgeries amongst the citizens of the US.
