Western Europe laparoscopic devices market size is expected to reach US$ 6,185.0 million by 2031 from US$ 3,425.6 million in 2024. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 8.8% from 2025 to 2031
The laparoscopic devices market in Western Europe 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 Western Europe has grown significantly due to established healthcare systems, a high prevalence of chronic diseases, and a preference for minimally invasive techniques in Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, UK, Denmark, Portugal, Norway and Finland. Key players in the laparoscopic devices market include Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson) and Medtronic that sell a variety of products. The market trend appears to be shifting toward disposables, especially in trocars, to mitigate the risk of cross-contamination and minimizes the burden for cleaning, and in fact disposable trocars account for 62.86% of the global market in 2023. The introduction of AI systems and reusable energy devices in laparoscopic colorectal surgery, as explored in a review published in February 2025 articles could help with providing greater precision, better visualization, and sustainability. The most recent example of new technology includes the AESCULAP EinsteinVision 3 FI system by B. Braun in Germany and received regulatory approval in May 2023, which offered advancements in high-definition imaging during laparoscopic procedures.
Western Europe Laparoscopic Devices Market Strategic Insights
Western Europe 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 Western Europe laparoscopic devices market is segmented into Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, United Kingdom, Denmark, Portugal, Norway, and Finland. Laparoscopic surgery has been highly successful in Western Europe, due to the benefits of minimizing trauma to the patient, decreased recovery time, and shortened lengths of stay. In 2022, almost 70% of hysterectomies performed in Denmark and Finland were laparoscopic. The laparoscopic appendectomy adoption also followed with rates exceeding 90% in Denmark in 2022. While laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia has been high in Denmark, its adoption was below 50% in Sweden in 2022, and Finland even saw a decrease in these procedures from 2012 to 2022. Across various Western European countries, robotic-assisted laparoscopy is also gaining traction, though challenges like high installation costs and extensive training requirements remain.
Bariatric surgeries are a growing segment within the laparoscopic market, primarily driven by the increasing prevalence of obesity. Spain, for instance, saw sleeve gastrectomy dominate its bariatric surgery market in 2023. The country is also seeing a rising demand for bariatric surgery due to growing awareness of obesity-associated health risks, with gastric balloons also holding a significant market share in 2023.
Based on region, the Western Europe laparoscopic devices market is further segmented into the Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, United Kingdom, Denmark, Portugal, Norway, and Finland. The Germany held the largest share in 2024.
Countries like Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland, demonstrates a substantial volume of bariatric surgeries performed, with Sweden contributing the largest number of patients. Data from 2019-2021 from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry shows that in Sweden, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGBP) has historically been prevalent, with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) stabilizing around 50% of primary procedures, while in Norway, SG and RYGBP were performed at comparable rates.
Colorectal cancer is a significant concern in Western Europe, with high incidence rates driving the demand for surgical interventions, often performed laparoscopically. GLOBOCAN 2022 data, published in February 2025, indicated high age-standardized incidence rates for colorectal cancer in Norway and Denmark. In the broader European colorectal surgery market, endoscopes were the largest revenue-generating product segment in 2024, emphasizing the critical role of laparoscopic visualization. A prospective observational study from Belgium, presented in February 2025, highlighted positive long-term outcomes of robotic surgery for older patients with colorectal cancer, demonstrating its feasibility and safety. This ongoing adoption of minimally invasive techniques for colorectal conditions underscores the continued growth and innovation in the Western European laparoscopic devices market.
