UAE Minimally Invasive Surgery Market to Reach USD230 Million by 2030 Due to an Impressive CAGR of Around 14%

The UAE Minimally Invasive Surgery Market size was valued at around USD104 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD230 million by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 14% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30, cites MarkNtel advisors in the recent research report.

Several factors are associated with the growing market. The rapid rise of the aging population in UAE is creating the requirement for such surgeries. In addition to this, an unhealthy diet coupled with a sedentary lifestyle leads to multiple complications that require such type of surgery. Besides, in the UAE, accidents have, in recent years, fueled the demand for minimally invasive surgery. Besides, escalating incidences of diseases in the region create another demand for the market.

An increase in traffic accidents in the UAE is leading to injuries that require surgeries, thus creating a market demand. That is one of the reasons why minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is gaining ground in the region, as it involves lesser complications and quicker recovery thereafter. Thus, the treatment of injuries sustained in road traffic accidents is hereby strongly recommended using MIS.

The UAE is witnessing a demographic transition in which the elderly population is expected to grow rapidly. The demographic transition will further create the requirements for healthcare products specifically catered to the elderly population. This means that the demand for surgical services will also increase with the growing elderly population. These operations are preferable in elderly individuals since they are subtle and heal quickly. With age, there is more incidence of chronic conditions and cardiovascular disorders. The elderly patients are also less likely to have postoperative complications due to their compromised immunity and slow healing. This results in decreasing the length of their stay in the hospital, thereby reducing the economic burden and physical hassle for older patients and their families.

Moreover, with robotic-assisted surgery and precision imaging tools, the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive surgery are enhanced with the use of the latest technologies, further states the research report, “UAE Minimally Invasive Surgery Market Analysis, 2025”.
