Surgical Instrument Tracking Devices Market - Analysis And Forecast upto 2031

The surgical instrument tracking devices are a combination of tracking devices that are specially designed to be implemented on surgical instruments. Barcodes and radio frequency identification devices (RFIDs) are two types based on technology. By product type, surgical instrument tracking devices can be categorized into hardware, software, and services. Surgical instrument tracking devices are currently dominated by RFIDs and hardware. These systems are focused on the idea of having more information than just the location of surgical instruments, which is an important factor in surgical instrument asset management. Due to the growing concerns regarding patient safety, the government and healthcare regulatory bodies have made the implementation of tracking devices on surgical instruments mandatory in hospitals and surgical ambulatory centers. Adoption of these devices has been seen in recent years to save a lot of manpower and resources, which has aided hospital inventory management and boosted the surgical instrument tracking devices market.

The Surgical Instrument Tracking Devices Market report highlights that the radio frequency identification device (RFID) market was valued at $283.4 million in 2020 and is expected to reach $685.9 million by the end of 2031. The market for RFID is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.0% during the forecast period 2021-2031.

Global Surgical Instrument Tracking Devices Market Dynamics -

Patient safety and resource management are top priorities in healthcare practice. Doctors, nurses, administrators, and staff work to strengthen them every day. Furthermore, even the most experienced practitioners are susceptible to human error. Patient safety has vastly improved in recent decades, owing in large part to advancements in technology.

It is no secret that hospitals often handle millions of dollars in assets, making inventory management of the surgical assets a time-consuming and laborious task. To ensure patient safety and quality of care, most healthcare providers rely heavily on surgical instrument tracking devices technology.

Presently, the factors driving the growth of the market as per the surgical instrument tracking devices market report include increasing need for inventory management and implementation of unique device identification (UDI) regulations by the FDA inciting the use of surgical instrument tracking devices, rising number of surgical procedures globally propels the demand for surgical instrument tracking devices. Also, the availability of technologically advanced products offering more features in tracking devices and factors like time pressure and infections faced by the hospital lead to a rise in demand for surgical instrument tracking devices.

All the surgical instrument tracking devices, such as barcode and radio frequency identification devices (RFID), are based on features like temperature resistance, heavy chemical resistance, resistance from heavy metal and liquids, and resistance to other harsh environments. While RFIDs and barcodes offer a variety of benefits to end users, such as providing real-time location and a wealth of other data, this technology faces a number of challenges, especially in the workplace, where devices must withstand harsh conditions. Aside from these technological issues, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the market by causing delays in elective procedures all over the world.

The challenges that are restricting the growth of the market include technological limitations and a fall in elective surgeries across the globe during the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted the market negatively.

With developments in instrument tracking technology and their implementation in the healthcare field, the surgical instrument tracking devices market provides numerous tremendous opportunities. The correct evidence-based methodology, quantitative evaluation, and high-value technology would transform market dynamics by integrating emergent innovations into established products.

The surgical instrument tracking devices market could benefit from an increase in the number of cases of retained surgical instruments, as well as the growth and high demand for IoT in surgical instrument tracking devices.
