The Global
Surgical Instrument Tracking Systems Market is expected to
reach $400 Million by 2026, growing at a healthy growth rate of 15% by 2026. The
market growth is likely to be driven by growing demand for Inventory and Asset
Management during work cycle and implementation of Unique Device Identification
(UDI) regulations formed by the FDA.
Surgical instrument tracking systems is a combination of
latest scanning technology and application software for inventory management.
It provides comprehensive surgical instrument management solution which allows
users to maintain Quality, Compliance and Traceability of Instruments in work
place. US FDA implemented Unique Device Identification (UDI)
regulations in 1993 to identify medical devices/instruments sold in the
surgical market from manufacturing end through distribution to patient use.
Starting in 2014, different classes of medical devices are included in UDI
program to provide more accurate tracking of medical devices. Moreover, EU
acted to adopt UDI in 2017, under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) but
the obligation for submission of UDI data in the EUDAMED database applies
from November 2022. Such regulations are likely to boost demand for surgical
tracking system.

Advancements in Software/Hardware Usage Drives the Market
Growth
Software accounts for lion’s share of the market. It is a
crucial part of surgical instrument tracking systems due to adoption of latest
information technology systems and inventory management systems in the
hospitals. It also helps in data management. However, hardware segment is
expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period due to the
repetitive purchase of non-durable RFID tags/barcode labels that needs
replacement.
Shifts Towards RFID Technology Over Traditional Barcode
Methods
Currently hospitals are using barcode method due to its low
installation cost. The RFID technology is projected to grow due to the growing
demand from users for advanced automatic identification technology instruments
(such as RFID) to track medical devices and surgical instruments. Also, RFID
systems has many advantages over barcodes, such as RFID can read multiple tags
at the same time, and do not need line of sight, they come in read/write form,
which means data can be read and rewritten or modified as and when needed, RFID
tags have more places for data storage and data is secured due to its ability
for encryption. Overall, RFID systems have many more features than simple
barcode systems. However, both RFID and barcode technologies have considerable
limitations. RFID tags are sensitive to high temperature, humidity and chemical
reaction. On the other hand, Barcode requires manual procedure for scanning
which can lead to human error and also repetitive use of surgical instruments
damages barcode labels, which makes it necessary to be checked after every
sterilization cycles.
Hospital Market Expected to Continue Its Dominance
Hospitals are major end-users of surgical instrument
tracking systems. Hospitals are increasing in number due to growing demand of
better healthcare stemming from increase in population and advancements in
medical technology. Hospitals have higher patient inflow and also conduct
relatively larger number of surgical procedures compared to other end users in
the market. It utilizes more equipment and instruments on an average than any
other healthcare providers/end-users in the market. Growing need of comprehensive
surgical instrument management solution is driving the demand of these systems
amongst the hospitals.
North America Leads the Adoption of surgical
instrument tracking systems market
North America commands the largest share of the market and
is also expected to witness fastest growth during the forecast period. The UDI
regulations proposed by the US FDA, increasing number of surgeries performed in
US, and presence of leading players in this region are some of the key factors
supporting the market growth.
Emerging economies such as India and China, as well as
countries in the Middle East, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, are
anticipated to grow significantly over the forecast period. Advancing
healthcare infrastructure, improving access to healthcare facilities and
government initiatives to implement instruments tracking solutions are likely
to fuel the demand of surgical instrument tracking systems in the developing
economies.
“The implementation of unique device identification (UDI)
system by the FDA and an increasing incidence of instrument misplacements in
the hospitals are the pivotal factors driving the surgical instrument tracking
systems market.” - Vice President, Innovation &
Operational Excellence, Surgical Instrument Technology Company, United States

Covid-19 Impact on Surgical instrument tracking systems
market
Health care systems worldwide have been affected by the
impact of COVID-19 pandemic. The case with surgical instrument tracking systems
market is no different as the outbreak has caused a steep decrease in elective
surgeries. For instance, in the US, the overall rate of surgical procedures
during the 2020 initial shutdown decreased by 48.0% compared with its
corresponding period in 2019 mainly because of cancellation of elective
surgical procedures. Decline in elective surgeries adversely impacted the demand
of surgical instrument tracking systems. However, the future prospect of the
market looks promising as the market is on the recovery path and is functioning
at pre-pandemic capacity.
