by The global surgical drills market has witnessed significant growth in recent years owing to growing application of surgical drills in orthopedic surgeries and neurosurgeries. Surgical drills are a vital part of many medical procedures and help in drilling holes or performing osteotomies in bones and teeth during fracture repair, replacement of hip or knee joints, dental extractions and implant surgery. They facilitate precise cutting or grinding of hard tissues like bones by producing rotary motion and are available in pneumatic and electric models. Precise control, improved ergonomics and material compatibility allow surgeons to perform intricate procedures easily.
The global Surgical Drills Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 696.62 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 11% 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 in the surgical drills market is the growing demand for multi-functional drills. Conventionally, surgical drills were designed to perform only a single function like drilling or reaming. However, with technological advancements, manufacturers are now developing multi-functional drills that allow surgeons to perform multiple steps of a procedure using a single drill. This reduces procedural time and requirement of multiple drill instruments. For instance, the Stryker Reciprocating Tip Drill allows drilling, reaming and tapping in a single device. Similarly, Zimmer Biomet’s Versaptic convertible drill facilitate bone preparation with three interchangeable tips. Moreover, research efforts are underway to develop drills using new materials that increase precision and speed while reducing friction at the bone-drill interface. This will further boost demand in coming years.
