Last month we listed the top eight surgical robots and the companies that make them mainly according to number of units sold and the number of procedures they performed—this month we again list those top eight while adding 12 surgical robots to the list. This top eight ranking is slightly different from last month's ranking due to the input of additional sources.

Surgical Robot Outlook The global surgical robot (SR) market climbed to nearly $16 billion in 2025. Analysts project the SR market to top $18 billion in 2026, and is expected to climb to $59 billion by 2034. Below are three different forecasting samples of surgical robot growth:

After World War II, America saw the rise of multiple industries including electronics, which grew 400% in a ten-year span (1945–1955). Appliances such as hard-wired and transistor radios, televisions, refrigerators, and washers were driving demand, and electronics in automobiles and campers. The race to modernize carmaker assembly lines was on as well. The shift from soldering to crimping (including the specific B-crimp style) for electrical terminations in the 1950s was driven primarily by the need for high-reliability applications such as military and aerospace wiring—and soldering was becoming less of an option heading into the jet age.
