At the 2025 annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), many device makers presented the newest generation of orthopaedic robots.
Prices of orthopaedic robotic systems are expected to decline due to market competition, technological innovation, and economies of scale. In the next five years, the prices may drop 20-30% as compact systems and competition expand, according to data and analytics company GlobalData.
According to GlobalData’s Global Brand Pricing product, the average cost of an orthopedic robotic system varies from $554,000 to over $1 million. Annual service costs are around 10% of the system.
Tina Deng, MSc, Principal Medical Devices Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Portable systems like Smith & Nephew’s CORI and Think Surgical’s TMINI are already reducing costs, while startups and emerging markets drive competition with affordable alternatives. Companies like Think Surgical and Korea-based Curexo have developed robotic systems that are compatible with implants from other manufacturers, which could further reduce the robotic procedure cost by choosing affordable knee or hip implants.”
Mass adoption—projected to grow the global market to $13 billion by 2030—will lower manufacturing costs, and subscrip
