The growing demand for advanced surgical technologies and increasing adoption of robotic-assisted procedures are expected to support the expansion of India’s orthopedic robotics sector. Against this backdrop, the orthopedic robotic surgical systems market in India is projected to grow at a 10% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2026 and 2036, forecasts GlobalData, a leading intelligence and productivity platform.
GlobalData’s report, “Robotic Surgical Systems Market Size by Segments, Share, Regulatory, Reimbursement, Installed Base and Forecast to 2036,” reveals that India accounted for around 6% of the Asia-Pacific (APAC) robotic surgical systems market in 2025, indicating scope for further growth.
Driving this regional momentum forward, Stryker has recently introduced “Mako 4 SmartRobotics” platform in India, expanding its robotic-assisted joint replacement portfolio in the country. The system uses three-dimensional computed tomography (CT)-based planning alongside AccuStop haptic guidance and intraoperative guidance capabilities. Its listed applications cover total knee, partial knee, and total hip replacement, including advanced primary and revision procedures. Stryker reports that its global Mako platform has supported more than 2.5 million procedures across 47 countries.
Divya Soni, Medical Devices Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “The introduction of next-generation robotic-assisted systems reflects the growing focus on technology-driven precision in orthopedic surgery. In India, the availability of advanced robotic platforms could intensify competition among manufacturers and expand the range of technologies available to hospitals performing joint replacement procedures.
“However, adoption will depend on factors such as acquisition and operating costs, surgeon training, hospital infrastructure, and procedural volumes. Hospitals will need to assess whether the potential clinical and operational benefits justify the investment, particularly in settings where resources and access to specialised surgical expertise vary.”
Beyond primary joint replacement, Mako 4 also offers planning capabilities for complex hip revision procedures. Surgeons can plan the size, position and orientation of bone augments, as well as screw placement, before surgery, with intraoperative guidance on screw trajectory and depth, according to Stryker.
Soni concludes: “In orthopedic surgery, where treatment decisions and surgical execution directly affect patient outcomes, the ability to plan procedures in greater detail and guide surgical steps with precision is particularly significant. The continued development of robotic-assisted systems reflects the importance of integrating technological capabilities with the practical demands of complex surgery.”
