The industry has high involvement of the world leaders like Medtronic, Stryker, and Johnson and Johnson, local innovators like EndoMaster and NDR Medical Technology, that further drive the competition by innovating their products and integrating the technology in their products.
Thailand and Malaysia are the top adopters because they have a well-developed healthcare infrastructure, and Indonesia and Vietnam are mature markets with rising investments in hospitals that provide robotic-assisted surgeries.
The market revenue is dominated by robotics, yet the instruments and accessories have continued to drive growth regularly, thanks to high replacement rates, and services are also becoming increasingly popular as hospitals pursue long-term maintenance and training support.
The emerging partnerships between hospitals, medical universities, and technology providers are increasing training programs and speeding up surgeon uptake, and cross-border relationships are aiding the introduction of sophisticated surgical robotics in emerging economies.
With increasing healthcare spending and expansion of the private sector, the investment prospects of the sector are drawing foreign direct investments into the region, making Southeast Asia a strategic location to deploy surgical robots over the coming ten years.
According to a new report by UnivDatos The Southeast Asia Surgical Robotics Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 18.37% during the forecast period (2025- 2033F). Adoption is being driven by increased demand in minimally invasive surgeries, rapid growth of privately owned hospitals, and the development of medical tourism destinations in Thailand and Singapore, among others. The market is further propelled by supportive healthcare investments, rising disposable income, and regulatory support. Moreover, the rising introduction of technological innovations drives the growth of the market.
For example, on January 15, 2025, Southeast Asia, St. Luke's Medical Center launched the region's first robotic cardiac surgery program. This historic initiative was made possible through a collaborative effort between St. Luke's multidisciplinary team and the expert team from West Virginia University's (WVU) Heart and Vascular Institute, and a physician assistant.
The program debuted with a series of innovative robotic-assisted cardiac procedures, showcasing the transformative potential of this advanced technology.
Driver: Rising demand for minimally invasive surgeries
The increased demand for minimally invasive surgery is one of the factors driving the Southeast Asian surgical robotics market. There is a growing trend toward procedures that cause less trauma, scarring, and shorter hospital stays among patients and healthcare professionals. Robotic systems enhance the accuracy and control required in these types of surgeries, and are particularly beneficial in complex cases involving urology, gynecology, and general surgery. This change is justified by increased awareness, increased disposable incomes, and increased access to advanced medical centers in the region. As hospitals strive to gain access to the local and international medical tourism market, there is an increasing investment in robotic platforms for minimally invasive surgery.

For example, on December 31, 2024, Southeast Asia's St. Luke's Medical Center proudly launched the region's first robotic cardiac surgery procedure. This incredible milestone was achieved through the collaborative efforts of St. Luke's multidisciplinary team.
Based on product type, the market is segmented into robotic systems, instruments and accessories, and services. Among these, the robotic systems market held the largest share in 2024 as hospitals invest in new robotic systems to improve surgical accuracy. Their use becomes the source of demand for complementary services and accessories, generating repeat revenue for businesses. Such a solid foundation of installations provides installers with long-term growth prospects both globally and regionally. The demand for surgical robots that support more precise procedures has been growing, and they are being utilized across a wide range of medical specialties. On November 6, 2024, Sysmex Corporation announced that the first overseas surgery (robot-assisted radical prostatectomy) using the "hinotori Surgical Robot System" (hinotori) was successfully performed at Singapore General Hospital.
Vietnam is expected to grow at a significant CAGR in the market, which is backed by government healthcare modernization initiatives, increasing levels of private investments, and rapid development of hospital infrastructure. Adding to this, robotic adoption is gaining considerable momentum with an increasing population of middle-class people who require high-end minimally invasive therapy. The digital healthcare and technology adoption drive sweeping across the country provides an ideal environment where the robotic system can be implemented. For companies, Vietnam presents a high-growth frontier that can guarantee strategic positioning for long-term investment in Southeast Asia. For instance, on July 29, 2025, a major breakthrough in Vietnam's neurological treatment was achieved as doctors at Vinmec Central Park International Hospital successfully performed surgery on a 9-year-old boy with drug-resistant epilepsy, utilizing the AutoGuide™ robotic Guidance system for SEEG implantation.
