Surgical Robotics Market in Southeast Asia Grows with Rising Minimally Invasive Surgeries

October 31, 2025

Southeast Asia’s surgical robotics market, valued at US$ 256.15 million in 2024, is projected to grow at around 18.37% from 2025 to 2033 driven by increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries.

In the Philippines, St. Luke’s Medical Center has become the country’s leading surgical hub, recently completing over 2,500 robotic-assisted surgeries. Since performing its first robotic-assisted procedure in 2010, the hospital has introduced several firsts in the region, including thyroid, esophagus, kidney transplant, and cardiac procedures.

On April 24, the region marked a milestone with the first-ever telesurgery on a human patient using the Mantra Surgical Robot. In Vietnam, Vinmec Central Park Hospital used the AutoGuide™ system on July 29 to treat a child with drug-resistant epilepsy, advancing neurological care.

Beyond clinical use, surgical robotics is also expanding into education and training. Another emerging trend in the market is the integration of AI in surgical decision-making. Combining robotic precision with AI allows surgeons to receive real-time insights during procedures, including anatomy recognition and complication prediction.
