The global surgical scissors market was valued at $331 million in 2019, and is projected to reach $437 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 3.5% from 2019 to 2027. 

Surgical scissor is an instrument used in various types of surgeries to cut tissues. These are available in various shapes and types. These include tenotomy scissors, dissecting scissors, operating scissors, plastic surgery scissors, stitch scissors, metzenbaum scissors, iris scissors, and mayo scissors. They have sharp edges, which provide easier & smoother cuts. Their use is dependent on surgery type and location of organ to be cut. Surgical scissors are available in two types, namely, reusable surgical scissors and disposable surgical scissors.

Rise in demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures, rise in geriatric population, increase in number of surgical procedures, development and advancement of surgical devices, and rise in incidences of chronic diseases are the major factors that drive growth of the surgical scissors market. In addition, wide availability of cost effective and robust surgical scissors, increase in healthcare expenditure, and rise in number of surgeries related to elderly population are some other factors that contribute toward growth of the market. However, chances of developing infection, owing to use of contaminated reusable scissors are expected to hamper the market growth.

The World Health Organization (WHO) on January 30, 2020 declared COVID-19 outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. COVID-19 has affected around 210 countries across the globe. Surgical scissors manufacturing and distributing companies have been affected by COVID-19 to a limited extent, owing to shutdowns in various COVID-19 affected countries and rise in number of surgical scissor manufacturing workers falling ill during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to short supply. Thus, COVID-19 infection has negative impact on surgical scissors market to a limited extent.
