Middle East Laparoscopic Devices Market Outlook
The Middle East laparoscopic devices market is segmented into UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, and Turkiye. In the realm of bariatric surgeries, the Middle East faces a significant health challenge with high obesity rates, leading to increased demand for such procedures. A retrospective cohort study from October 2023 to June 2024 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, analysed 208 patients, showing that laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) was the most performed bariatric procedure (93.3%) and demonstrated substantial effectiveness in reducing BMI and improving comorbidities. Another report from November 2021 highlights that an estimated 15,000 bariatric procedures are anticipated annually in Saudi Arabia, with some sources in June 2022 suggesting figures over 20,000. Turkey is also emerging as a medical tourism hub for affordable weight loss surgery.
For colorectal surgeries, the incidence of colorectal cancer is a significant concern in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Data from GLOBOCAN 2022, published in February 2025, showed approximately 53,941 new colorectal cancer cases in the region. In Kuwait, endoscopes were the largest revenue-generating product segment in colorectal surgery in 2024, emphasizing the role of laparoscopic techniques in this specialty. The increasing focus on early detection and advanced treatment options, often involving minimally invasive techniques, drives the demand for related devices and procedures.
Middle East Laparoscopic Devices Market Country Insights
Based on region, the Middle East laparoscopic devices market is further segmented into the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, and Turkiye. The Saudi Arabia held the largest share in 2024.
Patients are now choosing laparoscopic surgery across the Middle East more often, for reasons like less recovery time and fewer complications involved in surgery. Countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE are also investing directly into healthcare infrastructure and education; these countries are now looking to invest in surgical simulation training, in order to teach surgical skills and improve patient safety. The Saudi Ministry of Health reported a 30% increase from 2020 to 2021 in MOH funding for medical training programs, and these programs are addressing surgical skills with simulation. Simulation has proved extremely effective for hospitals in the UAE and Qatar.
