According to a Research Report Published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the United Kingdom Steerable Needles Market Size is anticipated to reach USD 87.87 million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2025 to 2035. The demand for steerable needles with improved maneuverability and targeting capabilities has increased recently as a result of several benefits that these procedures offer, such as decreased discomfort, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery.

Market Overview

The United Kingdom steerable needles market refers to the subsector of healthcare focused on the production and application of minimally invasive needle-based devices that may be actively maneuvered or steered along intricate or curved pathways within the human body. Steerable needles are made with flexible shafts, segmented joints, or unique tip mechanisms that provide real-time directional control during procedures, in contrast to traditional rigid needles. Applications where great precision is crucial, such as neurosurgery, interventional radiology, cancer, and targeted drug delivery, use these devices. Healthcare providers, academic research organizations, robotics firms, and makers of medical devices that are implementing or developing steerable needle technology for therapeutic and diagnostic applications are all part of the market. Steerable needles are medical instruments with a flexible tip that may be steered or guided through organs and tissues to get to particular target areas inside the body. The need for focused intervention tools is also growing as the number of chronic diseases and cancer diagnoses rises, particularly those that call for exact biopsies or localized drug administration.

Driving Factors

The market for United Kingdom steerable needles is influenced by the increasing requirement for minimally invasive surgical techniques that accelerate patient recovery, lower the risk of complications, and increase procedural precision. By providing improved control and precision, these tools let medical professionals navigate curved or delicate anatomical routes that would be challenging or impossible to accomplish with rigid instruments. The functional capabilities of steerable needles are also being expanded by ongoing technical innovation, such as magnetic steering, real-time imaging compatibility, and bio-inspired designs, which further positions them as essential instruments in the upcoming generation of surgical systems.

Restraining Factors

The market expansion could suffer from several obstacles, such as a lack of clinical experience and training presents additional challenges; a lot of medical personnel are not used to steerable devices, necessitating the use of simulation and teaching. Additionally, the absence of standardized platforms and interfaces with current surgical systems decreases compatibility and delays hospital procurement.

Market Segmentation

The United Kingdom steerable needles market share is classified into type, and application.

• The bevel-tip flexible needles segment accounted for the highest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR over the forecast period.

The United Kingdom steerable needles market is segmented by type into bevel-tip flexible needles, symmetric-tip needles, and tendonactuated tips. Among these, the bevel-tip flexible needles segment accounted for the highest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. These flexible bevel-tip needles are an improvement over clinical puncture needles and may help improve puncture accuracy and lessen surgical trauma. Another factor driving the segment's expansion is the creation and introduction of new, technologically sophisticated floor-standing steerable vehicles.

• The biopsy segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The United Kingdom steerable needles market is divided by application into biopsy, tumor ablation, pain management, and robotic assisted surgery. Among these, the biopsy segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is supported by the rise in biopsy operations and the use of steerable needles in hospitals for illness diagnosis and treatment. Also, core needles are now used in over half of all breast biopsies, and demand for steerable needles is expected to increase during the projection period.
