A smoke evacuation system is a vacuum system utilized in surgical settings where lasers and electrosurgical units (ESUs) are used to remove or eliminate smoke produced during electrosurgical treatments. Smoke from the operating room must be completely removed since it impairs vision and causes commotion with its unique odor. More critically, surgical smoke comprises both viable and non-viable surgical materials and harmful gases, vapors, and particles. 

The market for smoke evacuation systems in 2022 was USD 183 million, and by 2030 it will reach USD 272 million, growing at a 5.1% CAGR during the forecast period.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Increased product availability and a rising desire for minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) are the two factors propelling the expansion of the market under study. The demand for MIS procedures is steadily rising due to several benefits associated with them over conventional procedures, including reduced post-operative pain, fewer significant operative and post-operative complications, quicker recovery times, less scarring, less strain on the immune system, and smaller incisions.

The launch of the new technologically advanced product and the expansion of the studied market are also contributing to its growth. For instance, in response to current legislation in numerous US states to safeguard medical staff and patients from harmful elements in surgical smoke, eVeck introduced the Plume Evacuation Kit in August 2021. The market expansion is being driven by product introductions that offer users improved protection against smoke in their surroundings.

Restraints

Toxic smoke plumes from surgical sites can be effectively removed by smoke evacuation. A regulatory regulation that requires such technologies in surgical procedures still needs to be created, though. Only healthcare facilities with larger budgets use smoke evacuation devices as a result. This element not only has a negative impact on the market but also endangers the employees and patients' lives at the hospital. Additionally, emerging nations currently have very few facilities for smoke evacuation systems, which has an impact on the expansion of the market.

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

In terms of end-user, the smoke evacuation systems 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 developing due to the high volume of procedures, such as orthopedic and cosmetic surgeries.

Regional Overview 

North America was the major market contributor, with a share of 40% in 2020. The highest percentage in North America is primarily due to the region's increased acceptance of and access to pertinent protocols and guidelines, as well as the growth in the target disease population, inpatient surgeries performed there, and cases of chronic diseases. Due to the availability of cutting-edge products and qualified people, as well as cutting-edge healthcare facilities and infrastructure, Europe will become the second-largest market for smoke evacuation systems. 

The Asia Pacific will grow at a robust rate of 9.5% CAGR. It is due to significant investments in R&D and persistent attempts by the major market players to commercialize their products at the fastest rate possible.
