The rising incidence of chronic diseases such as cancer and neurological illnesses are driving the demand for image guided surgery devices across the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer was the second leading cause of deaths around the world and accounted for nearly 9.6 million deaths or one out of every six deaths in 2018. 

Apart from the aforementioned factor, the mushrooming population of older people is also positively impacting the worldwide demand for image guided surgery devices. As per the World Population Ageing 2020 report published by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), the population of people aged 65 years or above will rise from 727 million in 2020 to more than 1.5 billion by 2050. Furthermore, the population of people aged 60 years and above is predicted to rise to around 437 million, 324 million, 107 million, and 58 million in China, India, the U.S., and Brazil, respectively, by 2050.

Geographically, the sales of image guided surgery devices were found to be the highest in North America during the last few years. In this region, the demand for these devices was the highest in the U.S. in the past years. This was because of the high incidence of neurological diseases, the presence of a large geriatric population, and the extensive usage of technologically advanced and innovative imaging techniques in the region. In the forthcoming years, the image guided surgery devices market will register the fastest growth in Europe.

Hence, it can be said without any hesitation that the demand for image guided surgery devices will soar sharply in the coming years, primarily because of the growing incidence of neurological diseases and chronic illnesses and the surging population of geriatric people across the world.
