In addition, as per a July 2021 article titled, "Gynecological Laparoscopic Surgeries in the Era of COVID-19 Pandemic: A Prospective Study", the results revealed that 68.3% were emergency cases, while the rest were classified as semi-emergencies. As per the study, fibroid and adenomyosis with failed medical management (48.3%), followed by cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (10%), and malignancies (10%) accounted for the semi-emergency cases, while ruptured ectopic pregnancies (13.3%) and torsion and ovarian cysts (18.4%) comprised the emergency cases. The same source also reports that gynecological surgeries could continue to be safely performed with all precautions against COVID-19 infection and related morbidities. Thus, such studies indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted market growth.

The major factors affecting the market growth are the growing number of gynecological procedures, increasing demand for technologically advanced products, and rising awareness about gynecological diagnosis and treatment. The growing number of gynecological procedures increases the demand for gynecological examination chairs. Gynecology surgeries include surgical procedures involving the organs and structure of the female pelvic region: the uterus, ovaries, cervix, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva. A few common gynecology surgeries are cervical cryosurgery, colposcopy, dilation and curettage, hysteroscopy, and pelvic laparoscopy, among other surgical procedures. For instance, according to the GLOBOCAN 2020 report, 1,495,211 new cases of cervix uteri cancer were diagnosed, while 341,831 people died because of it in 2020 globally. The increasing burden of gynecological disorders is also propelling the market's growth.

In addition, to the research study published in March 2021, titled “Principles and Safe Use of Electrosurgery in Minimally Invasive Surgery”, electrosurgery is the most commonly used form of surgical energy in both open and minimally invasive surgery. Advanced electrosurgical devices have revolutionised laparoscopic surgery with increasing uptake of more complex procedures. This factor is also driving the growth in gynecology surgery that is driving the demand for gynecological examination chairs, thereby increasing the market growth.

However, there is a lack of developed healthcare infrastructure in developing and underdeveloped regions and high costs associated with gynecological chairs.
