Southeast Asia Surgical Robotics Market Analysis

Surgical robotics refers to a subset of intelligent medical technologies in which robot platforms are used by physicians to carry out complex surgery with reduced incisions and blood loss, and faster recovery. These systems enhance the results of surgery and reduce risks to patients by integrating robotics with imaging and software.

The integration of surgical robots in Southeast Asia is gradually growing as surgical hospitals and centers seek better accuracy, efficiency, and patient outcomes. Major hospitals are at the forefront, and robotic systems are being integrated into general surgery, urology, gynecology, and orthopedic practices. Robotic solutions are also being implemented in ASCs due to the need to perform minimally invasive surgeries with a quicker recovery period. Moreover, international investment by companies such as Medtronic, Stryker, and Johnson & Johnson, as well as local innovators like EndoMaster and NDR Medical Technology, is enhancing availability and training. The increasing awareness of surgeons and patients, coupled with the government's favoring the modernization of healthcare, is enhancing the growth curve of the market across the region.

On February 12, 2025, Sysmex Corporation announced that the first robotic-assisted surgery in Malaysia using the "hinotori™ Surgical Robot System" ("hinotori™"), developed by Medicaroid Corporation, had been successfully performed at Mahkota Medical Centre, one of the largest and most comprehensive tertiary private hospitals in South Malaysia, which sees more than 300,000 local and international patients annually.

Southeast Asia Surgical Robotics Market Trends

This section discusses the key market trends that are influencing the various segments of the Southeast Asia Surgical Robotics market, as found by our team of research experts.

AI integration for surgical decision support

The integration of AI in surgical decision support is a new trend in the surgical robotics market in Southeast Asia. The combination of robotic accuracy with AI-artificial intelligence provides surgeons with real-time insights throughout a procedure, including the anatomy recognition and forecasting of complications. Additionally, this enhances the accuracy of the surgery and also prevents outcome variability, which is particularly essential in high-volume centers and medical tourism settings. The area hospitals are considering applying AI-enabled robotics to streamline workflow and training processes, enabling less skilled surgeons to deliver consistent results. With the changes in regulatory frameworks and the modernization of healthcare systems, AI-driven surgical decision-making will become one of the most common features of the next-generation robotic platform.

On Sep 5, 2024, Medtronic expanded its investment in Asia with the launch of its first Robotics Experience Studio in Southeast Asia (SEA). State-of-the-art facility based in Singapore aims to accelerate the adoption of Robotics and AI across Southeast Asia through training and education, improving access to new healthcare technologies, and delivering better care experiences across the region

Southeast Asia Surgical Robotics Industry Segmentation

This section provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the Southeast Asia Surgical Robotics market, along with forecasts at the country level for 2025-2033.

The robotic systems market dominated the market share in 2024.

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.

The urology surgery market held a significant share in 2024.

Based on application, the Southeast Asian Surgical Robotics market is segmented into general surgery, urology surgery, gynecology surgery, orthopedic surgery, and others. Among these, the urology surgery market held a significant share in 2024. The surgical robotics in the area are primarily focused on urology surgery, where prostatectomies and kidney surgeries are the most sensitive to robotic accuracy. The ongoing high demand in this market is compelling hospitals to focus on robotic investments. This specialization also offers firms a consistent adoption channel even as they venture into other surgical fields. For example, on April 24, 2025, Southeast Asia etched its name into the annals of surgical history with the successful completion of the first-ever telesurgery on a human patient using the Mantra Surgical Robot. This monumental achievement not only marks a new era for the region but also sets the stage for a global shift toward accessible, precise, and remotely operated surgical procedures.

Thailand held a dominant share of the Southeast Asian surgical robotics market in 2024

Thailand led the market because of its well-developed medical tourism industry and early adoption of medical technologies. Most major private hospitals in Bangkok and other cities invest in robotic platforms to attract international patients, offering them access to high-quality, yet affordable, surgeries. Also, the adoption is further enhanced by the fact that the country is a medical hub and thus the standard market of surgical robotics in the region. Thailand offers scale and visibility to businesses, serving as a gateway to neighboring markets. On August 8, 2025, the Faculty of Medicine at Chiang Mai University launched Thailand's first robotic surgery system, marking a pioneering milestone for Southeast Asia and representing a combination of high-end medical technology with public healthcare.

The new robotic surgery system features a modular platform design that enables surgeons to work with exact robotic arms and provides real-time 3D visualization during procedures. This technology allows medical teams to work closely and consult seamlessly throughout operations. The system can also effectively reach complex anatomical areas while requiring only minimal incisions, resulting in reduced patient pain.
