Systems for capturing and removing smoke plumes created by the use of laser, electrosurgery, and other surgical tools are known as smoke evacuation systems. The technology also eliminates smoke, aerosol, and foul odors created during electrosurgical operations. Such devices may emit smoke that contains chemicals, bacteria, and viruses that could cause infections to develop following surgery.

In 2021, the market value of smoke evacuation systems was USD 128 million, and by 2030 it will be worth USD 195 million, at a 5.7% CAGR during the forecast period. 

The market for smoke evacuation systems is driven by the Increasing demand for minimally invasive surgical treatments, the creation and advancement of energy-based electrocautery and ultrasonic equipment, and an increase in the world's elderly population. Other significant growth factors include:

· Improvements in smoke evacuation technology.

· A rise in cosmetic surgery.

· A sharp or rapid increase in surgeries performed on seniors.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

· Factors boosting market expansion are the growing incidence of Injuries, trauma, and orthopedic problems that affect a sizable section of the global population. Moreover, orthopedic surgery is performed on a sizable proportion of younger patients for joint injuries and other related diseases. An increase in orthopedic surgeries requiring elective procedures, such as hip and knee replacements, will create revenue-generating prospects for the smoke evacuation systems business.

· Significant factors driving the market's expansion include the rise in patient preferences for MI surgeries and the rising popularity of orthopedic, laparoscopic, cosmetic, and Botox procedures that emit smoke plumes while being performed. According to a recent survey, using local smoke evacuators during MI procedures, such as the para-incisional smoke evacuator, considerably lowered the average level of smoke by about 59.7%. 

Restraint

Technical issues with using smoke evacuation devices and a lack of qualified specialists restrict the market's growth. Government regulations to reduce healthcare costs will cap the market's growth rate. Future product failure reports and recalls will also provide a substantial time issue, slowing the market's expansion rate.

Opportunity 

Additionally, some elective procedures, such as bariatric, cosmetic, and plastic surgeries, are carried out to enhance the patient's external aesthetics. These operations use high-temperature and energy-intensive instruments for lipid removal, tissue resection, or tissue charring, producing a sizable volume of the surgical plume. 

Market Segmentation 

Product Insights

On the basis of product, the smoke evacuation systems market is segmented into smoke evacuation filters, smoke evacuation tubing, smoke evacuating systems, accessories, smoke evacuation pencils and wands, and smoke-Evac Fusion products. 

The smoke evacuation system segment ruled the market with a 39.0% revenue share in 2020. When smoke is detected inside a room, the smoke evacuation system activates fans to move the smoke outside the room. 

The smoke evacuation filters segment will experience rapid growth during the forecast period. It is due to their roles in cauterizing vessels and vaporizing blood, tissues, and liquid created like smoke, a derivative of electro operations and laser surgical treatment.

Application Insights

In terms of application, the smoke evacuation systems market is segmented into orthopedic surgeries, laparoscopic surgeries, open general surgeries, and medical aesthetics surgeries. 

In 2020, the laparoscopic surgeries segment led the entire market with a revenue share of 37% due to the growing number of laparoscopic surgeries. In 2018 NCBI estimated that nearly 7.5 million laparoscopic surgeries are performed yearly. 

Because more cosmetic procedures are being performed, the medical aesthetic surgeries segment will expand at the fastest rate of 7.8%. 

End-Use Insights

On the basis of end-user, the market is segmented into dental clinics, hospitals, veterinary healthcare, dental clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and cosmetic surgery centers. 

In 2020, the hospital segment was the market leader, with a revenue share of nearly 42.9%. The market is expanding due to the high volume of procedures, such as orthopedic and cosmetic surgeries.

Regional Overview 

In 2020, North America ruled the market and had a more than 40.0% revenue share. This is due to the widespread use of cosmetic procedures like Botox, which employ laser treatment and thus produce smoke plumes during surgery. A sophisticated healthcare infrastructure, the availability of cutting-edge goods, and a competent workforce will make Europe the second-largest market for smoke evacuation systems.
