CHANGES INREGULATORY

POLICY

The largest segment in the Japanese surgical navigation market is

represented by navigation systems with orthopedic applications, accounting

for nearly 50% of the total market value. As orthopedic navigation systems

gain market share from competing technologies such as patient-specific

cutting blocks, they will continue to make up the largest navigation

segment.

LEADINGCOMPETITORS

Medtronic leads the Japan surgical navigation systems market. The company has established itself

through brand recognition and by making systems compatible with their implant products.

Medtronic competes with a number of other navigation and implant companies in Japan. Other

leading competitors in the Japanese surgical navigation market include Brainlab and Stryker.

Intuitive Surgical leads the Japan surgical robotics market. It remains the dominant competitor in

Japan with a focus on laparoscopic approaches for a variety of procedures. As regulatory policies

shift to encourage investment in this area, companies are expected to expand robotic options in

other procedural areas. The surgical robotic systems market is expected to see growth on the part

of Accuray and other companies.
