Middle East and Africa laparoscopic devices market size is expected to reach US$ 1,1446.9 million by 2031 from US$ 576.9 million in 2024. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 10.3% from 2025 to 2031.
The laparoscopic devices market in Middle East and Africa is experiencing significant growth driven by increasing healthcare investments, a rising burden of chronic diseases, and a growing appreciation for the benefits of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The region's overall medical device market is expanding, with a particular focus on advanced surgical technologies, including robotic-assisted systems. Trends indicate a strong push towards MIS.
In bariatric surgery, the MEA region IS seeing a surge in the adoption of laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and appendectomy are performed routinely as well. A systematic review of 15 African countries published in March 2025 reported high success rates and low conversion to open surgical techniques. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is also gaining acceptance, especially for colorectal cancer, with as of March 2025 in Africa having laparoscopic minimally invasive colorectal surgeries.

Middle East and Africa Laparoscopic Devices Market Segmentation Analysis
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the laparoscopic devices market analysis are product, application, and end user.
The Middle East and Africa laparoscopic devices market is segmented into Turkiye, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, South Africa, Algeria, Nigeria, Kuwait, and Qatar. The rising prevalence of non-invasive surgical interventions in Saudi Arabia. In gynecological disorders and enhanced awareness of the benefits of minimally invasive surgeries drives this segment, particularly in Saudi Arabia.
While some African countries still face challenges related to infrastructure and their training systems, the whole region has supportive initiatives in place aimed at improving healthcare's infrastructures. This suggests a stronger region-wide focus on training which combined with development does support the growing trend in minimally invasive surgery throughout the region.
Based on region, the Middle East and Africa laparoscopic devices market is further segmented into the Turkiye, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, South Africa, Algeria, Nigeria, Kuwait, and Qatar. The Saudi Arabia held the largest share in 2024.
The Saudi Arabian laparoscopic devices market is experiencing significant growth, driven by a rapidly expanding healthcare sector, substantial government investments as part of Vision 2030, a high prevalence of chronic diseases, and a burgeoning medical tourism industry. The increasing preference for minimally invasive surgical techniques, which offer benefits such as shorter hospital stays, reduced pain, and quicker recovery, is a key factor in this expansion. The country's overall minimally invasive surgery market reached USD 520.66 million in 2024. In bariatric surgery, Saudi Arabia is a leading country in the region due to its high obesity prevalence (35.6%). A retrospective cohort study from a single healthcare center in Jeddah (data from October 2023 to June 2024) analysed 208 patients undergoing bariatric procedures, with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) being the most common at 93.3% of cases. The study demonstrated a mean BMI reduction of 20.5% and improvement in obesity-related comorbidities, highlighting the effectiveness of laparoscopic approaches. It's estimated that more than 20,000 bariatric surgeries are performed annually in Saudi Arabia, primarily using laparoscopic techniques.
Egypt's laparoscopic devices market is currently experiencing robust growth and transformation, driven by a widespread shift towards minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures, which offer benefits like reduced recovery times and improved patient outcomes. This growth is fuelled by increased healthcare expenditure, ongoing advancements in medical technology, and a rising prevalence of chronic diseases requiring surgical intervention, such as obesity and various cancers. For instance, a recent study from August 2023 to August 2024 at Al-Azhar University Hospital demonstrated the comparable oncologic results and shorter postoperative hospital stays of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer compared to open surgery, highlighting the clinical advantages driving adoption.
