Fluid Management & Visualization Systems Market by Product (Suction & Irrigation, Dialyzer, Fluid Warming & Waste Management, Endoscopic Camera, Tubing's, Bloodlines), & Application (GI, Urology, Arthroscopy, Gynecology) - Global Forecasts to 2018

Over the years, the demand for fluid management systems has increased significantly owing to the rapid rise in the number of people prone to gastrointestinal, laparoscopic, orthopedic, neurological, and nephrological diseases; growing preference for minimally invasive surgeries; cost-efficiency of these surgeries in terms of pre- and post-operation care costs and length of stay at hospitals. The technological advancements and breakthroughs in the field of fluid management and visualization systems are expected to drive the global market in the coming years. However, globally, there is a shortage of specialists (physicians and surgeons) who perform these surgeries. Moreover, the investment costs for fluid management systems are extremely high for most hospitals in the developing countries. These factors are restraining the growth of the market during the forecast period of 2013 to 2018.

Besides the structural market drivers, there are strong geographic drivers for the growth of the market. The global fluid management systems market is dominated by North America, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific. This market is expected to grow in the Asian region owing to an increased healthcare spending by the government in China; the increasing number of minimally invasive surgeries; the improving endoscopic infrastructure in India; the establishment of training centers for endosurgeries in India, China, and Japan; wide support for endoscopy-related research activities in Japan; and increased patient awareness about minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) in Asia-Pacific.

Currently, the global market is in a transition phase, wherein the trend in the use of these systems is shifting from conventional standalone systems to the integrated multifunctional systems. This is due to the increase in efficiency of endosurgical procedures achieved through the use of these integrated multifunctional fluid management systems. In case of fluid management accessories and consumables, the trend is shifting from use of reusable ones to the disposable or single-use ones to achieve patient safety from infections.
