The surgical instrument tracking market remains driven by the increased level of automation in the healthcare industry. Rapid expansion of the healthcare infrastructure in developing countries such as China and India is expected to influence the market growth during the forecast period (2020-2030).
The quality of healthcare services provided to patients is changing, and it is expected to improve further as more and more surgeons today are well-supported with better information about both patients and the indication at hand. In the current scenario, developed economies are leading the way in providing high-quality healthcare services. Moreover, the surgical instrument tracking system market is expected to benefit from the formation of a structured risk-based regulatory framework for healthcare IT initiatives.
However, the outbreak of the Covid-19 has impacted demand for automation in the global healthcare industry, as result of nation-wide lockdown and halted production activity. The impact has also been evident in the surgical instrument tracking market. Further, the second wave of corona cases in recovering regions is set to hamper the market during the forecast period. For instance, in China, the second wave has created other hotpots and similar trend is projected to witness in other regions.
