Africa laparoscopic devices market size is expected to reach US$ 240.7 million by 2031 from US$ 122.3 million in 2024. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 10.2% from 2025 to 2031.
The laparoscopic devices market in Africa is experiencing significant growth driven by rising prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing tech breakthroughs in laparoscopy, and growing demand of minimally invasive surgeries. The laparoscopic devices market in certain African countries - namely, Egypt, South Africa, Algeria, and Nigeria - has a complex picture with continuous increases in the uptake of minimally invasive surgeries but impacted by challenges of infrastructure and economic factors. As cited from the Medical Journal of Zambia, laparoscopic surgery has evolved in the past 10 years in Africa, but their findings indicate that access and training are currently challenges, predominantly in Nigeria. Specifics of the study included evaluating 6,381 procedures over 21 years, across 15 African countries, where most (72.89%) of all procedures occurred in Senegal, South Africa, and Nigeria, but collectively remains relatively low compared to other global regions.
Despite these hurdles, increasing awareness among healthcare professionals and patients about the benefits of minimally invasive surgeries, such as faster recovery and reduced pain, continues to drive demand, further boosted by the rising incidence of chronic diseases requiring surgical intervention. The overall trend points towards a gradual expansion of the laparoscopic devices market in these key African nations, with a strong emphasis on addressing training gaps and improving infrastructure to enhance accessibility and utilization of these advanced surgical techniques.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the laparoscopic devices market analysis are product, application, and end user.

Based on region, the Africa laparoscopic devices market is further segmented into the Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, and Algeria. The Egypt held the largest share in 2024.
Egypt has shown notable progress, being the first African country to introduce robotic surgery in 2003 and maintaining well-established training facilities, as noted in a February 2025 commentary on advancing minimally invasive surgery in Africa. Despite these hurdles, increasing awareness among healthcare professionals and patients about the benefits of minimally invasive surgeries, such as faster recovery and reduced pain, continues to drive demand, further boosted by the rising incidence of chronic diseases requiring surgical intervention. The overall trend points towards a gradual expansion of the laparoscopic devices market in these key African nations, with a strong emphasis on addressing training gaps and improving infrastructure to enhance accessibility and utilization of these advanced surgical techniques.
South Africa and Egypt are typically perceived to be leaders in taking on new surgical techniques, including laparoscopic and to some extent robotic-assisted procedures are improving their healthcare infrastructure and expenses. In South Africa, energy systems were regarded as the primary revenue generation product in 2024, indicating their significant role. Increasing government healthcare expenditures, and the rise of associated diagnoses like bladder cancer, is escalating this. However, the obstacles remain similar for each of these countries, with limited logistical routes for laparoscopic consumables, costs related to equipment and procedures being high, and a limited number of adequately skilled surgeons and medical staff.
