The global powered operating tables market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 6% during the 2019-2023 period, driven mainly by an increase in the number of surgical procedures performed across the world. These are the latest findings of Technavio Research, (London, UK), a global technology research and advisory company.
Globally, end-users are opting for powered operating tables, such as electro-hydraulic operating tables and electric operating tables. These tables enable electromechanical adjustments, such as the height of the operating table, elevation, and lateral split, all of which can be fixed without any mechanical power. Powered operating tables are widely used in specialty cases, including laparoscopic procedures, pregnancy and birthing, and orthopedic procedures.
Based on product, the specialty segment held the largest share of 60% in the global powered operating tables market in 2018 and is expected to maintain its dominant position during the forecast period. Geographically, the Americas led the global powered operating tables market in 2018 with the largest share of 49% and is expected to dominate the market through 2023, although its market share is likely to decline by nearly 2% during the forecast period.
The growing adoption of minimally invasive (MI) and robotic surgeries is expected to positively impact the powered operating tables market and contribute significantly to its growth during the forecast period. Factors such as low chances of infection and bleeding, shorter hospital stay, no or smaller scars, and quick recovery are increasing the adoption of MI surgeries, which include laparoscopic surgery, thoracoscopic surgery, and orthopedic surgery.
“Robotic assistance aids in performing MI surgeries with higher precision. The advantages of robotic systems, include magnified 3D vision and increased range of movement in the body. All these factors will drive the adoption of robotic surgery which will increase the demand for powered operating tables,” said a senior analyst at Technavio.
