Carpal Tunnel Release Market - Forecast(2025 - 2031)

Report Code: HCR 1444 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Carpal Tunnel Release Market Overview

The Carpal Tunnel Release Market is estimated to reach US$982.5 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2031. Carpal Tunnel Release is a surgical procedure that treats carpal tunnel syndrome, which causes pain and weakness in the hand. The surgery involves cutting the ligament that covers the carpal tunnel to relieve pressure on the median nerve. 

The increase in demand for surgical tools that have minimal cuts and the specialized tools to reduce pain, scarring, and recovery time, and the rise of growing surgical technologies that help in precise calculations, safety, and better outcomes are some of the major trends in the Carpal Tunnel Release Market. In June 2024, according to the National Library of Medicine, the total number of Carpal Tunnel Releases performed annually is projected to be 198,927 in 2021, reflecting an 8.5% increase. The number of Endoscopic cases in 2021 was 32,007 cases, 26.1% of all Carpal Tunnel Releases performed in 2021.

Key Takeaways:

Open Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery is the Largest Segmrnt

The Open Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery segment holds the largest share in the market driven by its long-standing effectiveness, accessibility, affordability, and widespread surgeon preference. OCTR involves a direct tear in the palm, allowing for complete visualization and release of the transverse Carpal ligament, making it the gold standard for severe cases. Unlike endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release (ECTR), OCTR requires no specialized equipment, reducing costs and making it more accessible in developing healthcare markets. According to Hartford Hospital, most people who have surgery for open carpal tunnel syndrome have fewer or no symptoms of pain and numbness in their hands after surgery. The risk and complication rates of Open Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery are very low. Major problems such as nerve damage happen in fewer than 1 out of 100 surgeries which is less than 1%.

Endoscopic Devices is the Largest Segment

The Endoscopic Devices segment holds the largest share in the market due to the growing preference for minimally invasive procedures. Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release (ECTR) helps in faster recovery, reduced postoperative pain, and smaller incisions, making it increasingly popular among patients and surgeons which fuels the Carpal Tunnel Release Market growth. The demand for features that include advanced surgical tools, including high-definition endoscopes, light sources, and precision-guided instruments favors consumers choice over the other types. In June 2024, the Outpatient Surgery, study showed that 122 patients (147 procedures) who underwent the endoscopic procedure returned to work on an average of 25 days after surgery and those who underwent the conventional surgery took 46 days to return to work. 

North America Leads the Market

North America is the largest market for Carpal Tunnel Release procedures, driven by a widespread of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), advanced healthcare infrastructure, and strong adoption of minimally invasive techniques. The region also benefits from widespread access to Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), where endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release (ECTR) is gaining traction due to faster recovery times and lower costs. In July 2024, Sovereign USA announced its product, Spirecut’s Sono-Instrument for Carpal Tunnel Release which is at the cutting edge of surgical innovation, and designed to offer a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical methods. This instrument enhances surgical accuracy and reduces the invasiveness of the procedure. 

Increasing Instances of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) to Drive the Market

The increasing instances of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a key driver of the Carpal Tunnel Release market. Factors that are driving the market are prolonged computer use, repetitive hand movements, diabetes, obesity, and an aging workforce contributing to the rising incidence. The office workers, and assembly factory employees, are at higher risk, leading to increased demand for surgical interference. As CTS cases grow, the adoption of minimally invasive procedures like endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release (ECTR) is rising due to quicker recovery times and better outcomes. In June 2024, according to Outpatient Surgery, more than 8.3 million people are diagnosed with carpel tunnel syndrome every year. Also, according to the Cleveland Clinic, Carpal Tunnel syndrome is extremely common. Experts estimate that around 3 out of every 1,000 people in the U.S. experience carpal tunnel syndrome each year. The expansion of Ambulatory Surgery Centres (ASCs) and technological advancements in surgical devices are further driving market growth, making treatment more accessible and effective.
