One small survey of orthopedic surgeons undertaken by RBC Capital Markets seems to suggest that Stryker is poised to take market share away from the likes of Zimmer Biomet and Johnson & Johson Depuy partly because of high interest in robotics.

“U.S. orthopedic surgeons expect strong demand for new robotics systems and believe that [Stryker] will be the leader in the U.S. robotic hip/knee market,” according to a research note published Monday by Brandon Henry, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets. “Surgeons expect Stryker’s Mako to capture ~90% of the U.S. robotic hip/knee market. Separately, surgeons expect strong ~82% and ~56% year-on-year growth in their robotic hip/knee procedures in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Surgeons expect the fastest growth in robotic total and partial knees.
