Global Surgical Smoke Evacuation System Market Trends, Forecast Report 2025-2037
Surgical Smoke Evacuation System Market size is expected to grow from USD 174.08 million to USD 399.57 million, demonstrating a CAGR of more than 6.6% during the forecast period, between 2025 and 2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of surgical smoke evacuation system is evaluated at USD 183.27 million.
The market growth is owing to rise in the cases of chronic diseases, further leading to increased surgical procedures. The growing aging population, changes in the behavior and lifestyle of people, movement of more people towards urbanization is pushing obesity rates and cases such as diabetes. As per the statistics of the World Health Organization, in 2020, 340 million people globally were found to be obese as a result of lifestyle changes.
Surgical Smoke Evacuation System Sector: Growth Drivers & Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Rising Cases of Chronic Disease and Surgical Procedures - New healthcare models are emerging to meet and address the growing demand for surgical procedures and chronic diseases. Growing cases of chronic disease and surgical procedures are propelling the growth of this market. Governments across most economies are increasing their focus to introduce advanced healthcare plans to identify these health conditions at their early stage to avoid future uncertainties. Additionally, the increase in the use of different types of surgeries such as cardiac surgery, cosmetic surgery, and other surgeries are the major factors driving the growth of the global surgical market. In 2020, 1.2 million surgical procedures were performed in Europe
- Rising Awareness Related to the Hazards of Surgical Smoke and Enhancement of Surgical Smoke Prevention - There are many disadvantages related to surgical smoke, such as the release of hazardous chemicals into the operating room along with creating hindrance in the vision of the surgeon. Even though surgical smoke does not cause immediate health hazards but surgeons and staff should be aware of the long-term health risks. Furthermore, long-term exposure to surgical smoke appears to increase the risk of lung cancer, pneumonia, or asthma. Over 500,000 people in America are exposed to surgical smoke each year in operating rooms, including doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists, and technicians. These exposures are cumulative throughout a person's lifetime. Human papillomavirus (HPV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has become major health concern on account of being increasingly prevalent in the general population as it has risk related to transmission from patient to surgeon during surgical procedure. To prevent surgical smoke inhalation injury, basic surgical masks and high-filtration masks are being identified for personal protection. Surgical masks provide more than 85% of protection for the surgeon, staff, and patient.
- Growing Advancement in Technology - Other key drivers include advancement in technology and a rise in the number of surgeries related to the elderly population, that is, people aged 65 or above. Associated benefits such as reducing the risk from the smoke plumes, intensifying the visibility of laser procedures, and reducing build-up on camera lenses are anticipated to boost the market growth. Studies have said that around 53% of surgeries globally took place in the geriatric population who are above 65 years.
- Rising Medical Guidelines - Medical regulations also stipulate that smoke evacuation devices must be present in the operating room. For instance, a journal stated that data was suggesting that personnel and patients could suffer negative health impacts from exposure to surgical smoke.
Challenges
- Lack of Clinical Evidence to Prove the Operational Efficiency of Products Used in Surgical Procedures - Surgical smoke evacuation systems are known to reduce the exposure of surgeons and patients to gaseous by-products and harmful chemicals. Many organizations recommend removing surgical smoke with ventilation techniques and engineering controls. However, these surgical smoke devices are still not being used in routine and consistently while carrying out surgeries. Even with the known harmful effects of surgical smoke over past years, the scientific opinions and judgments on the dangers of long-term exposure of humans to these hazards are still limited. This is a key factor restraining the adoption of smoke evacuation systems in hospitals, surgical centers, and clinics.

Surgical Smoke Evacuation System Segmentation
Application (Laparoscopic Surgeries, Orthopaedic Surgeries, Medical Aesthetic Surgeries)
The laparoscopic surgeries segment is anticipated to hold largest market share by the end of 2037. The segment growth can be attributed owing to increasing presence of obesity, chronic disease, rising technological advancement, and increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries. Almost three-quarters of people aged 45 to 74 were overweight or obese in 2020, and obesity rates climbed from 15% to 28% over the previous three decades, according to research.
Product Type (Filters, Pencil, Wands, Smoke Evacuators, Fusion Products, Tubing, Accessories)
The smoke evacuation pencil and wand segment is estimated to grow at a faster rate over the forecast period. This can be ascribed to growing demand among healthcare facilities as it allows staff and doctors to have more direct contact with the procedure site along with creating a safer environment, by protecting them from the harmful pathogens and infectious particles contained in surgical smoke.
