(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 12, 2019 ) The global surgical microscopes market is projected to reach USD 915.6 million by 2021 from USD 508.1 million in 2016, growing at a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period.

The global surgical/operating microscope market is segmented on the basis of application, end-user, and region. On the basis of applications, the Surgical/operating microscope market is broadly segmented into neuro and spine surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, ophthalmology, gynecology and urology, oncology, dentistry, ENT surgery, and documentation. The neuro and spine surgery segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global Surgical/operating microscope application market in 2016. Factors attributing to the growth of this segment are the increasing demand for surgical/operating microscopes in neurosurgery. However, oncology is the fastest-growing application for surgical/operating microscopes due to the increasing prevalence of cancer across the globe

Furthermore, based on end-user, the Surgical/operating microscope market is segmented into hospitals, and outpatient facilities. The hospitals segment is expected to account for the largest share of the Surgical/operating microscope end-user market in 2016. Growth in this segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries worldwide.
