Market Segmentation

The global ultrasonic scissors market share is classified into product type and application. 

• The reusable ultrasonic scissors segment accounted for the highest share in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the product type, the global ultrasonic scissors market is divided into reusable ultrasonic scissors and disposable ultrasonic scissors. Among these, the reusable ultrasonic scissors segment accounted for the highest share in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. This is because, in the long term, they are cost-effective and durable; hence, the medical, textile, and manufacturing industries prefer to use them. Reusable scissors reduce waste and are more economical in the long run, especially in industries that use them very frequently. Their ability to sterilize and be maintained for various uses also adds to their adoption and market dominance.

• The general surgery segment dominated the market in 2023 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the global ultrasonic scissors market is divided into general surgery, gynaecological surgery, cardiovascular surgery, urological surgery, and others. Among these, the general surgery segment dominated the market in 2023 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.  This is because minimally invasive techniques are increasingly being adopted in general surgical procedures, where precision and reduced recovery time are critical. Ultrasonic scissors offer advantages like improved accuracy, less tissue damage, and faster recovery, making them highly sought after in various types of general surgeries. As healthcare providers focus on efficiency and patient outcomes, the demand for ultrasonic scissors in this area is expected to rise.
