Today, the surgical instrument industry is primarily driven by some few important factors such as spiraling senior population, increase in the lifestyle diseases that eventually require surgery, rising healthcare expenditures, and enormous unmet surgical demands. Furthermore, technological advancement in minimally invasive operations, shorter hospital stays after surgery, and an increase in the number of ambulatory surgical facilities are likely to drive market expansion. However, surgical instruments in India has been un-organized and obsolete over the years.
Having said that, the Indian surgical instrument market has been continuously progressing with technological and quality standards developments. This is coupled with the increasing issuing of stringent laws that has aided in the standardisation of the business as a whole.

The Future Ahead
The surgical instruments are slowly going to be regulated, where all the surgical instruments manufactured will come under ‘Class A’ and ‘Class B.’ This classification will help in categorizing an instrument’s respective quality standards. As many new players are entering into the market, the competition will lead to the development of more innovative products. As countries like Germany, China, and Pakistan are at a positive growth trajectory, India is slowly making its strides to become a manufacturing hub. Going forward, Micro surgical instruments, minimally invasive surgical instruments, robotic assisted surgical instruments are expected to dominate the market in the next decade. GESCO Healthcare will be spearheading the revolution to push the indigenous industry’s growth bandwagon.
“We intend to deliver an overall healthcare solution while also being a global market leader in Spine, Orthopaedics, Neuro, Biologics, and 3D Printed Implants. We also plan to expand GESCO into international markets, particularly in places where access to affordable, high-quality healthcare items is limited. This we would accomplish by developing a complete market reach in India with the best R&D setup in Asia,” concludes Samuel.
