The Global Tracking Surgical Instrument Growth is Accelerated by Increased Traceability Needs


Surgical instrument tracking systems help healthcare providers effectively manage surgical instruments and equipment by providing real-time visibility and traceability across the surgical workflow. These systems enable tracking of individual instruments for purposes such as inventory management, instrument recalls, sterilization verification and surgical case documentation. The growing complexity of surgical procedures and focus on patient safety have increased the need for accurate instrument tracking.

The global Surgical Instrument Tracking Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 411.5 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.1% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:

One of the key trends driving growth in the surgical instrument tracking market is the increasing need for traceability of surgical instruments and equipment. Medical device manufacturers are subject to regulatory requirements to enable effective tracking of instruments in case of recalls. Moreover, accurate tracking helps healthcare providers comply with sterilization process requirements. It also enables associating instruments to specific surgical procedures and patients, which is important from a liability perspective. Advanced tracking systems leverage technologies such as RFID and barcode scanning for automated tracking of instrument movements within the hospital facilities. This automated tracking provides real-time visibility and eliminates manual errors involved in tracking instruments. The growing adoption of automated surgical instrument tracking solutions is expected to continue driving the market over the forecast period.


Segment Analysis
The global surgical instrument tracking market size is segmented by technology into barcodes, radiofrequency identification (RFID), and others. The RFID segment dominates the market and is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period. RFID tags allow tracking of instruments throughout their lifecycle from procurement to sterilization to usage to disposal. They help in real-time location tracking of instruments which reduces costs associated with lost or misplaced instruments.
