Key Market Insights

A higher demand for improved tools for diagnosis and surgeries for improving patient’s health, surgery has been generated by world population growth and extended life spans. The augmented usage of minimally invasive surgery to reduce hospital stays as well as to decrease costs has been one major advancement in healthcare. It's clear that in medicine, fiber optics are at this time to stay. Minimally invasive surgery is a surgical surgery conducted in small incisions rather than large incisions. These surgical procedures are gaining huge popularity in hospitals and clinics worldwide as there is decreased blood loss. In addition, minimally invasive surgery provides short stays in the hospital, less complications and low costs. Fiber optics are used for these operations because they are highly versatile, lightweight, and highly localized measurements can be mounted in tight spaces. Thus, during the forecast era, these factors are expected to drive the growth of the global market for medical fiber optics.
